you don't need to buy food to cook certain dishes in the sims 4. You can click on the fridge, cook and then choose from the options. The better your cooking skills are, the more dishes you can cook. If you have a computer you can buy seed packets for fruit and vegetables and grow them. They can imporve the quality of your meals if you use them.
They might add schools in updates or expansion packs, but I don't know anything about that yet. Cars may also come in an expansion pack or update.
what if its one of your sims birthdays , how do you get a birthday cake?
@sunshinesami14, Your Sims have to make it! Click on the refrigerator or oven and choose "cook" and scroll down to one of the cakes (like the chocolate cake, or the hamburger cake, etc.) As soon as you finish it, you need to click on the cake to open up the option to place candles on it. (Candles can't be placed on a cake that already has a slice taken from it). Then have the Sim you want to age up (or whose birthday it is) blow out the candles. Just keep in mind that if the cake doesn't "like" where it is positioned on the counter or table, it won't let you put candles on it! 😮🤭 For some reason it is very picky about that! 🤨😃
