Just thinking about this while my sims eat at a restaurant that played Classical music. My sim thought he despised such music, so I gave him that dislike. I think it would be fun as well if sims were to decide whether they like or dislike certain dishes.For example, your sim family gathers to the table and eats Spaghetti for the nth time in your game. Sonny Jim loves Spaghetti, but Billie Jane abhors it. What is Mama Chrissy to do with her children? Should Mama Chrissy cook spaghetti and then another dish just to accommodate Billie Jane?Another example, your sim is out on a date. They eat and your sim decides that the Pasta Primevera is Pasta Yucky-very. Should your sim plow through his dish? Or should he ask for the dish to be taken away and order another dish. Or ask a refund. Or kick up a scene and harangue the chef and proceed to get beaten by the buff chef.Final example, your sim is stuck at an island, and the gods of the Sim Universe had cursed him with "Simple Living" and "Off-The-Grid". Their only way to survive is to fish for their food. They catch one, cook it and decide they hate fish. But they have to force themselves to eat it or risk getting a visit from Grim.Lots of story potential with this. Of course you can always uncheck them from CAS, but it would be a lot of fun to watch your sim build their tastebuds or lack thereof.EDIT: Pop-ups may be annoying with some players. So I think if the devs expand the Likes and Dislikes, they should also add a Gameplay option that disables the pop-ups.

Absolutely yes. But there’s such a huge list of foods, I wouldn’t want to scroll through that every time. I think it makes more sense to have each dish appear as your sim eats them. I mean, how would they know whether or not they liked something unless they had eaten it, anyway? ETA: Just to clarify, I don’t want these as pop-ups. I just want the foods to appear on the list of preferences as my sim tastes them.

I'm not sure about the popups because we have so many dishes but I'd love to be able to select favorite foods in CAS.

@babajayne @simgirl1010 Yeah, that's a concern, too. Probably why they had held back on adding Food in the Likes and Dislikes panel. But at the onset, I was already overwhelmed with the choices for Music Genre and Hobbies/Activities. So initially, I ignored the Likes and Dislikes until the game asked if my sim liked Classical music. Maybe they can have multiple categories like "Food", "Gourmet Food" and "Restaurant Food." Or "Cooked Food" and "Fruits and Vegetables".

And some fries.We have a lot of dishes in the game though, maybe their likes/dislikes should be categorized into different types of food.

I think they shouldn't add that feature. It just seems like a very tedious thing to have to keep track of so that your sim doesn't eat something they don't like and then fall into a negative moodlet.

Should they add "Food" in the "Likes and Dislikes" panel?

@Heathertibb Maybe they should add a new option in the Gameplay Settings that enables or disables these Likes/Dislikes pop-ups.

I'm quite happy with the vegetarian, lactose intolerant and child of the ocean traits limiting what sim can eat and giving them moodlets. Quality of the food and refined palate give moodlets as well. Also foodies get moodlets from drinks, so overall I don't feel like I need extra content there. Favourite foods sounds cute, I'm just unsure about adding more food related moodlets.

I already have a Sim in my household who cannot stand Fruit Cake. Me? I love it if it's made well. It can be dry as dust if overbaked, for instance. And you have to soak it in Rum or some other such libation during preparation to get the right flavoring, too. (I have had Gourmet Fruit Cake.) Love the stuff, personally. But Erik cannot stand it. His stomach gets all in a wamble and he complains, "what is it I just ate?"

That's a good idea. If I remember correctly, didn't they have food likes/dislikes in the Sims 2?

I was thinking about that too. But it could add a dimension to Vegetarian sims who Dislikes Tofurky because it reminds them of a turkey.

To add, maybe also have a sim who likes Ice Cream, but is cursed because of being Lactose Intolerant (just like me). Maybe have a new item called "Lactose Aid" to help your Sim.

EDIT: Also forgot to mention that having a "Like and Dislike" for Food would give cooking some meaning. Right now, I'm just randomly selecting what food to cook for my Sim. A Like or Dislike could funnel me to cooking those dishes consistently.
