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?

Eh, I don't use that feature much. But I think it would be nice for others who use the feature.

I voted yes but can get why it would be hard to keep track of to make sure your sim doesn't eat something they don't like but i like the idea of them having a fave

Some likes for their favorites (huge fan of mac n cheese, personally) and a few for foods they detest (brussel sprouts, YUCK!). Don't see a need to list everything on the menu.

Yes! Food likes and dislikes are such a common thing. We already have a little bit in-game already with the fruitcake love/hate. That still cracks me up. (Fruitcake is yucky). ;)

I have a rare few sims that have specific favorite or hated foods, for most it is a broad category like "seafood", because with all my sims that's easier to remember. I'd be perfectly okay with broad categories being used for Likes and Dislikes: Pasta, Veggies, Fast food, Chicken...

(I'd also love for my Hates Gardening sims to stop also hating eating fresh produce, but that's off-topic.)

Also, take off the 20 limited Likes & Dislikes so that we can pick more if we want to.

Yes, but you don't have to have every single sim like or dislike every single food. But it makes sense that a sim might have one particular favorite food and/or one dish that they particularly loathe.

And once again, this is one of those scenarios where if you wouldn't like to use it, then you could just... not use it. It would be easy enough to avoid, and the rest of us who do want it would have the option.

Yes, but I'd do it under categories instead of individual dishes. Like...

(Ethnicity) Italian/French/Mexican/Chinese etc.
(Protein Pref) Carnivore/Pescatarian/Vegetarian/Vegan etc.
(Dietary Restrictions) Nut allergy/Seafood allergy/Latose-intolerant/Gluten intolerant etc.
(Flavour Profiles) Sweet/Sour/Bitter/Salty/Umami.

So someone could be a veggie, with a penchant for French food, no allergies/intolerances and a sweet tooth. Or a meat-loving carnivore who loves Mexican but hates Italian, has a nut allergy and is all about the umami.

This system would also transfer current dietary traits to preferences and free up a trait slot.
