Question About Produce

Are they not used for anything? Odd. Well, I grow them for similar reasoning as the other harvestables prior to the cooking update: just to have them in my fridge and available. Green beans are pretty common local fair where I live, so that is reason enough for me.

To sell? They also count as "any vegetable," if that matters to you.

I think they sell for more than many other veggies, + they do go into salads etc, just not required. Would like to know if they come with any particular advantage though, as we can't grow everything and different families might make different selections.

I have wondered the same thing on a few other good items. I'm guessing you could sell them, experiment with them. Make potions or hustle eat for nutritional purposes.???

Thanks for the responses. I just wondered as I have all sorts of cc receipes and none of them called for green beans or peas. With the gardening borked, forever it seems, there is just so much stuff my sims can plant and then take care of, so I tend to ignore the beans and peas.

Interesting posts!

I would imagine any recipe that calls for any vegetable, they would qualify for. We all must eat our greens, you know. ;)

If we ever get more pack refreshes, adding a few more recipes wouldn't be a bad thing IMO. Green bean casserole, guacamole (avocados in JA), etc.

I hope for this, too! Especially for Preserves. Looks like they deliberately missed out on lots of crops from other packs, would love to see preserves using Lemon, Elderberry and some more that I can't recall right now. Should be pretty easy adding some more options to the list of canning recipes, might come in a patch. Also wish for more ways to use fish that we caught - can they be canned? Granny's Delicious Fish Jam"?, LOL.

I can get behind this - and I think canning should be its own skill, rather than tied to cooking. Like Gourmet Cooking, you have to have x in cooking maybe, but its own skill! A kit related to this would be cool, maybe start to fill in the various hobbies with recipes, etc? I dunno, just thinking out loud.

I'm on board the bandwagon of making a lot more recipes using the wide variety of produce in the game! I say this even though most of my played sims never need to eat; they still feed their kids or host dinner parties. For me, it's part of an overall philosophy of game design that "if something exists in a game with a crafting system, the player should be able to craft it." I've been spoiled rotten by the legion of games that take their inspiration from Minecraft.

Lately, however, I've been farming carrots pretty much exclusively as part of an ongoing effort to overcome a gender imbalance in my simworld without resorting to mods. The game's spawned tons of female townies but very few men. As long as the game keeps THAT particular means of influencing baby gender, everyone with the space is going to have a garden even if they never otherwise eat!
