Fruitcake

:o The great fruitcake divide.

All hail the fruitcake!

It's one of my favorite recepies in the game now :) I hope they fix they bug with the neighbors, when they bring it in they put the cake in their inventory and sims don't get to eat it. :\

I don't like fruitcake, but i'm the one at Christmas who takes all the icing & marzipan off the christmas cake then runs and hides from family :)

That was you?? :o

Actually, fruitcake, if made well, is pretty tasty. But, alas, I've yet to have anyone come to my Sims' door to welcome them. But, then again, I made a new game save in Newcrest and dumped all of my new Sims into it about the same time. Face/palm. I'd move my couple out and return them to the game, but then he risks losing his family ties. Bummer.

That shouldn't matter... somewhat. To explain; I got fruit cake from a household that had been in-game about an hour. :) BUT... the recipient does have to be a new neighbor. One of the others will bring him/them fruitcake.

Fruitcake is disgusting. :s

Okay, here is something you should know....the Welcome Wagon is a fake; at least insofar as the fruitcake is concerned. Yes, a Sim comes up to your door with a fruitcake in hand, but the Sim does not give *your* Sim the fruitcake like they used to do in The Sims or The Sims 2 if they brought you a present. No, what happens is that the Sim holds on to the fruitcake and it conveniently disappears.

It's rumored that the fruitcake is actually made from a recipe that Mrs. Agnes Crumplebottom's great-great-grandmother Agatha used over a hundred years ago and tpickled in formaldehyde to preserve it for posterity. In fact, it is even rumored that the fruitcake that the Welcome Wagon shows your Sim is *the very same fruitcake*.

That being the case, you should all be grateful that your Sim never actually receives the fruitcake.

Or that would be a really short game.

Nobody brang me any :( I only like strawberry cake

Anytime I get the welcome wagon, and I invite the new sims in, the one with the fruitcake comes in and sets it down on the counter or the table. It is weird though, how some sims like fruitcake and others are completely disgusted by it!
