Thanks for all the tips and comments, everyone. Sometimes I feel bad because I don't like to play legacy families. But dealing with needy kids takes so much out of me! In comparison, pets are easy! 😄
One more tip from me. If you have the Kitchen Clutter Kit, the lunch box can be accessed by toddlers. It doesn't have to be placed on a counter either. Now, my little toddler got the quick meal out but sat in on the table, so I just told her to eat it. I don't know if putting it down first was just her finicky behavior. Lynea's a Picky Eater. 😆
The Base Game snack box can be used by toddlers, too. It was broken for a while but works fine for the past two years.
I actually have those newer lunch boxes on some of my sims as well as a cooler they can use anywhere. I thought the lunch pail would be great because it worked like the cooler does and I was tired of packing everyone a sack lunch so they didn't starve at work and school. Maybe it is just my bad luck because my sims will not autonomously use either of them. If I am understanding you correctly, you're saying toddlers are smarter than the adults and will use the lunch pail if I leave one within their reach??
Nightgypsy you said: If I am understanding you correctly, you're saying toddlers are smarter than the adults and will use the lunch pail if I leave one within their reach??
In my game... that is 100% true! 🤣
Thank you, I will not forget this the next time my sims have a baby. It will definitely look better sitting on the counter than my having six different meals placed there at all times. Especially for my sims that do not have a huge kitchen. Hopefully it will work that way in my game too :)
my experience with the 'picker eater' trait has been that said toddler will only be happy eating fruit and vegetables from their inventory. and sometimes they would not get the uncomfortable buff from eating "vegetarian food". Most other foods, except for ice-cream, they would get a negative buff.
