Do we have enough food and drinks?

I would love more french dishes. Boeuf bourguignon, cassoulet, coq au vin, artisanal breads and baguette. And desserts like Paris-brest, Saint-honoré, fraisier, etc.

I would love more recipes, but lately my Cook menu has gotten very laggy :/

Mine's pretty laggy, too, and I don't even have all the packs or any CC foods at all.

Mine got a bit laggy lately too. If I sell off food ingredients it gets a bit better but sometimes there are food ingredients collecting in the house inventory, not sure how that is happening .

New recipes are something I always appreciate, and there are still so many foods I’d love to see in the game: lasagne, garlic bread, new pizzas (and a pizza oven), chicken or veal schnitzel, new pasta dishes and plenty more.

But most of all, I would really like to see gingerbread added to the game (gingerbread sims and gingerbread houses), it would be such a great way of using the new group cooking feature and the last Christmas-themed addition I’m still hoping for.

If you have harvestables on your plants and you reload the lot for any reason (whether you reloaded the game or travelled and returned) those harvestables go into the household inventory. I think this is a bug because it is a relatively new thing.

I don’t really know how to vote on this poll because I do think we have enough food options, but I like having a good variety and I’m not going to complain when they add more. Food is one thing I think they’ve done extensively well and I’d rather get other content that adds more interesting gameplay options. For example, more stuff to create on the woodworking table would be nice. New types of collectibles might be cool to go along with new worlds. Or new things to do with refined gems - that would really make my day.

I am really hoping for some new Christmas stuff this month too. A gingerbread house the parents could make with their kids or decorate and then eat would be amazing new food! :love: I think we are getting a treat this month, I just can't remember where I read that, maybe I was dreaming.

Oh that's good to know. thank you! I will try to check my plants before I travel to a different location.

More woodworking items would be great. I've never been sure what to do with the gems actually. The game mentions some type of crown thing you can slot them into but I have never found it. What do you usually do with the gems after you refine them?

I wouldn't mind some more international food like korean food or greek food.

But only if the game can handle it. If you have all the packs then the list when clicking on the fridge is getting very long now, they should be sorted by categories or something, maybe that would help.

They should add more cooking animations to the available food as well. Some food has some pretty simple cooking animations.

I'd love more vegetarian, no MSD, gluten free options for my annoying Karen-y Sims. Also would love more international cuisine. Thank God for City Living that they gave our Sims a lot of food, but yeah we need more.

I'm a diabetic. There are so many things I either can't have or don't allow myself to have for the sake of living a long life and seeing my potential grand children some day. I love the sims and how many new foods and recipes get added. I'll NEVER say no to more recipes!

I am going to get my sugar tested next week actually, it runs in my family too. They could add more or label some sugar free items like they have vegetarian safe & lactose safe. I would enjoy that. I like when my Sims eat healthier than I do hah. I totally get how you feel though because I'm allergic to dairy, but not in my game, I drink milk out of the Sim fridge and make ice cream all the time. :wink: I was amused by the lactose intolerant trait, but I won't give it to my Sim.

Cooking and eating are two of my favorite things in the game (RL, too)

A list, hmm... Red beans and rice, shrimp and grits, jambalaya, chicken and dumplings, meatloaf, cornbread, maque choux, boudin, ... is that enough? LOL.

I had to look up maque choux and boudin, never heard of those, they look so good! I'm going to try and make maque choux this week it looks so good. :love:

mmmm boudin and jambalaya... now I'm hungry! Maybe some crawfish ettoufe too!

I hadn't heard of crawfish ettoufe either! Wow looks so good :love:

I would love some more soups, breakfast options and special child friendly menus (something like my hits for kids dishes for TS2: https://modthesims.info/d/412486/thai-translation-01-05-11-hits-for-kids-part-i.html).

On the other hand, there actually are other areas of the game that I feel are much more lacking than foods, so I guess I'd rather take something else.

I would love a sausage and egg breakfast sandwhich from a food stall since that's my usual fastfood breakfast lately.

I would love for the tea objects to become playable. Also I would love for my sims to be able to drink hot chocolate,
eat apple candies & drink/eat any other yummy holiday treats. :p

I hope for more holiday treats too! Candy apples from a festival food stall would be awesome.
