An easy way to learn the City Living recipes...

I placed several restaurants in my save with dishes from different cultures and just put the corresponding meals on the menu. I already have an Asian restaurant and am going to place a Mexican and Indian too. I think it's a faster way to learn the recipes than just traveling to the city all the time. You also never know if there's actually a vendor at the stalls or they are bugged at the edge of the neighborhood again.
  • I feel like the food stands can sense us and they close every time you get near them with intentions of buying something.

    One thing I have done is to create a community lot and then place the stands there but I found it too easy so I didn't actually go through with learning all them. It's no fun learning for the sake of learning in this case. I would miss the hustle even if I could cook all those incredbile recipes.

    @Huiiie_07 that's an incredible trick, I never thought about using the restaurants as a learning tool like that! It would definitely make things easier for me, I never did manage to learn them all.

    Have you guys ever successfully learnt them all? Also, have you ever killed someone with your pufferfish nigiri?
  • I did it a couple of times. It takes diligence, and a good chart of when they appear and where. :)

    After a few times, I just stopped and made a mod that gives all the recipes to the active sim. A cheat command basically. When I get a sim to level 10 cooking and gourmet cooking using normal methods, I use the cheat to give them all the CL recipes. I use it as a "reward" for getting to the highest cooking levels.

    This has the downside that you have to pay for a vendor every time you visit the lot again, atleast it was like this the last time I've tried.

    Oh, I had no idea. I thought the vendor just appears.

    True. I built a massive food plaza last night and only had the option to hire vendors. Very disappointing we can't create custom lots with the food choices and not spend Sims' simoleons to hire.

    That's true but you could also cheat for money ig

    Bwahahaha! I do sometimes feel like the vendors are trolling me ??
