Foodies & drink disappointment
The way the foodie trait works does not make sense. I would like to see the trait revamped so that it only provides a special positive moodlet when a foodie Sim drinks/eats an excellent drink or meal....

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.
