Fruitcake

I also think it is related to their traits, as was suggested above.
I had one of my Sims make Gourmet Fruitcake the other day (excellent quality). One of my sims loved it, the other one hated it. The Sim who loved it is a snob - also hot-headed and loves the arts, but those traits seems unlikely to be connected. The Sims who hated the fruitcake is active. I assumed that the active trait makes him more body conscious, therefore the moodlet ("what did I just eat?"). But since more Sims seem to dislike fruitcake, it's probably that there are a few traits that contribute to Sims enjoying the fruitcake? My snobby Sim cannot stop raving about that cake - it has been days since she consumed it.

My active sim loves fruitcake (Loner/Active/Bro) and so did her sister (Art Lover/Ambitious/Genius) and her mother (Foodie/Genius/Goofball). All my boys in that family hate fruitcake, whereas my girls tend to like it :joy:
Most of the time the families I play hate it though. I'd like to assume foodies and gluttons are likely to like a good fruitcake, but I think it's possibly just one of those hidden traits like right and lefthandedness... Like a percentage would like fruitcake and a larger majority don't?

(I personally like a good fruitcake.)

I have yet to have a single sim like fruit cake. It's kind of sad because I want them to like it! I like fruitcakes (well made ones anyway). Picky sims.

Has anyone noticed some sims love the taste of fruitcake and some don't. The sims who don't like the taste of it become uncomfortable (+2) after eating it and they can complain about fruitcake to other sims... If your other sim likes it, then their friendship decreases (-2).

I smile whenever I read "fruitcake" posts. I'm one of those weird individuals who actually likes fruitcake. Surprisingly, many of my sims do, too. In fact, I had one sim open a fruitcake shop. Of course, he's a master chef, so his fruitcake is probably very tasty. :)

I'm currently doing the 100 baby challenge, so I make truckloads of fruitcake and then put it all on a huge table to feed all the annoying toddlers. Really helps bcs it never spoils! Also idc if they don't like it. They gonna have to just deal with it.

Since I don't want to take any chances of getting a negative moodlets from it (we'll get our fair share of those during the game anyway), I don't touch it, and when the welcome wagon is over, I have my sim put it in his or her inventory, go to a bar or club, and leave it on a table there before I send them home again. Bon apetit. :P In real life I'm no fan, but I can take a slice to be polite and still survive. xD

bringing fruitcake is an act of war

If they still had the “LOL” reaction, I would add that to your comment.

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!

At least they were nice enough to set it down on the counter. The one with the fruitcake in my game set it down outside on the floor. Looking back at it now they probably knew it was disgusting that's why they didn't bother to bring it in.

Invite the welcome wagon in and they take a piece of fruitcake, but if you let them stand at door too long or don't talk to them they don't share. At least that's what happens in my game.

I have yet to have one of my sims like fruitcake. Is it possible your Sim has to have the Foodie or Glutton trait to like it?
