Foodies & drink disappointment

I very much agree. This odd quirk of the foodie trait really does not make any sense at all. It gets even worse, though. Even an excellent quality drink isn't usually going to be enough to satisfy foodies. In order for a drink to be considered adequate for a foodie, it has to be prepared by a Sim who has a mixology skill that is greater than level 5. That's right, it doesn't matter if the drink is excellent. It also has to be prepared by a skilled Sim.

And yet, for some reason, the same doesn't apply to food. Food doesn't even have to be excellent quality to satisfy foodies. The chef's skill level doesn't come into play at all.

Again, makes absolutely no sense! Not to mention, foodies keep disappointing themselves by getting drinks from the sink or fridge autonomously, which always gives them a bad moodlet since those drinks are always normal quality. And even then, I definitely agree that normal drinks shouldn't be putting them off this much when normal food doesn't do the same.

Long story short, this trait could definitely afford a revamp. I tend to avoid the trait because, in my personal opinion, it's one of the most annoying traits in the game in its current state.

gasp... the sims team giving us a limited amount of traits and then on top of that them not being fully useful? shocker

(i hope this doesn't come off as rude to you i'm just so sick of this rushed game LOL)

That's how it works??? I found this thread thinking it was a bug or something...

Welp time to make my sim a glutton instead then.

The trait is definitely in need of some changes, I would be fine if they got stronger bad moodlets for bad quality food inexchange for better moodlets for better dishes. Also I hate the fact they get a bad moodlet for drinking water, it implies that water isn't the best thing ever.

Careful with that trait. I had a female sim with that trait get pregnant and let me tell you I bought alot of pizza just to satisfy her intense hunger. It was an expensive 3 days

I tend to not really play family sims or even multiple households on a save (I play console and the game really bugged out when I had two active households in the same apartment building) but thanks for the heads up.
