Can we get an overhaul to cooking already?
As you know, Fishing and Gardening have had overhauls/updates where they significantly improved (at least in my opinion) both skills. With cooking, currently, the food quality does not make sense! ...

i agree. completely. i LOVED in sims 3 that my sims could toddle themselves off to the shopping district and fill up the fridge with what i wanted to varying degrees OR i could go onto the computer and buy the groceries (might be getting mixed up with sims 2 a little bit tho XD)
i also loved that i could grow my own cheese, sausages, egg and steak im pretty sure if i had gardening skills high enough.
for sims 4, my garden has basically become a means to money. ill make a garden salad it it uses two vegies and still costs money. i dont understand why. i have alot of vegies in the fridge why should it cost me anything.
i like alot of people would be down for a farming/eco type pack. if thats ever bought in and we get things like chickens and other farm animals without a cooking update it would be a gaming crime IMO. a pack like that would allow cooking in game to be more realistic
in terms of meal quality i am all for the suggested update. regardless of sims cooking level, once they have level 1 or 2 i rarely, IF EVER, see sims make a poor meal in sims 4. its like theyve suddenly become Michelin star cooks and everything is amaze-ing. gone are the sims 3 days where our sims at max cooking and with the skill journal completed (menu maven etc) could still, very rarely, burn a meal.
i suggested this in the major feedback thread but id like to see better organisation of the recipes our sims know. i find it very frustrating trying to find cakes to cook among the list of cook options. id LOVE to see it have filter options so when i click 'cook/gourmet cook' it has a drop down for breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper, desert, special recipes. of course some items would be in several categories but itd be easier than scrolling for a basic cake. or move cakes to 'bake'. id also like to see selvadora and san myshuno (cant spell those) recipes get their own notepad list so i can quickly at a glance check what my sim knows and doesnt know to avoid over feeding them when on vacation or at a festival.
like many skills cooking needs an overhaul as its ridiculous that we can have all the fresh ingredients under the sun but our sims still have to pay for meals and the produce just builds and builds up to the point wed all have thousands of dollars worth just loitering in our sims fridges
