Sulani Volcanic BBQ Searer - poor quality

Inspired/Very Inspired usually helps with cooking quality.

You can use the Garnish interaction to improve food quality if you get your sim's Gourmet Cooking skill to level 10. Even if it starts out Poor, it should only take a couple garnishes to have Excellent quality.

@JACKIEJOY - new information - I have a bbq searer on the Admiral's wreck lot - which I made into a park. There my Sims make "excellent" feasts with the bbq. On their own residential lots the bbq only makes "poor" or "normal".

Just wondering how long it takes to get better quality results -

I'm still trying things out. So far my Sim that has max Cooking, Gourmet level 4 and Baking level 7 still makes poor quality food on the searer.

@JACKIEJOY best idea so far - I'll try it - tired of all the time to do the bbq and have it be poor quality

@JACKIEJOY - didn't work - got the trait - saved - played other household - came back and did bbq - still poor quality.

Gave it a try. Got Normal quality Kalua Pork from Cook Feast. Cooking skill 10, Gourmet Cooking skill 5, lot traits were Study Spot, Homey, and Romantic Aura. Also got Normal quality Pork Adobo from Grand Pit BBQ Feast.

@sketch793 when you pick a bbq dish there is a "skill level" - for me the skill level for each recipe is "1". Is your skill level higher? Good thought about lot traits - I may adjust that.

@simstr0ng My Cooking skill was 10 and my Gourmet Cooking skill was 5, as I said above.
