My Sim loves to cook and I've tried to give them food, but they don't seem to like anything, they hate everything, I haven't gotten any gifts from them. I don't want to give them paintings or books because my Sims need money desperately and those are way too valuable to just give away. They have to be able to pay the rent too. It's hard enough for a Sim to write books (or paint) when she's constantly being scared.

Have no idea. I just know that only some like knitted stuff. And I do mean some because I had a blue specter turn down a beanie.
Note: The knitted item will disappear from your sim's personal inventory regardless if the specter accepts the item or not.

I guess I'll just have to keep trying with different foods. Also I think I may try some woodworking table items, they're quite fast to make and it gets the handiness skill up too. I'd try knitting too, but I don't think it's a hobby that suits for the Sims that I'm playing.

That's the only thing that we can do to answer this question. The only thing that I know is what the devs said about things offered to the specter. Devs said that the offer must be a crafted item. Which I would think would include any food item that a sim has prepared them self. I would try any baked good such as muffins and cakes and such first. But bottom line is just try offer them any crafted item that the sim has made.

I had some luck with baked goods, if you have Get to Work. At least with the Happy (green) Specters

Getting candle wax from Guidry requires asking him for a way to not be so scared when your sim is terrified. It's on the second "page" of Guidry interactions, and only available if your sim is terrified.

My specters gave a thumbs-up for leftover tofu hot dogs and eggs with toast. They also liked the knitted goods. I think the gift has to be homemade--baked or crafted. They didn't accept fresh produce from the garden or sacked lunches though. I haven't tried paintings, flower arrangements, or woodworks.

Thanks. I've asked the question from Guidry but he didn't give me anything, I'll have to do it again. I'll also try baked goods. :)

I’ve had luck with potions from ROM, and candles from eco (the cylinder or rectangle ones). I’ve also discovered that buying the items on plopsy saves time for busy Sims.

A certain randomness is involved regarding the success of the crafted offerings for the specters, in my experience. Just because a knitted penguin worked once, it does not mean it will work on the next specter. And I also use the small sculptures from the woodworking table as offerings, so that is definitely an option.

I've had some success with Franks And Beans and with Chocolate Chip Cookies. They didn't work every time though.

Those would be something that are made by a sim. So the specters should accept those offerings, but not all specters will.

Yeah I’ve noticed it varies in what they accept. I don’t mind though, as it adds a bit of challenge to it.

To me it's more like trying to solve a mystery when you are trying to figure out what each specter will accept as an offering. Like the other day, I had learned that one blue specter will not accept a beanie as an offering. And I found this out by trying to offer one to a blue specter.
