What is the point of a sack lunch - if any at all?

@Paigeisin5 and @nani you can also pack your restaurant food in sack lunches when you go out to eat, so now we have doggy bags so to speak.

We're starting to sound life a bunch of food hoarders in Simville.

So what happens if you leave a spoiled sack lunch in a park, library, nightclub, etc?

I mean - if it is spoiled, then most Sims won't eat it. They can't throw it away as you have to unpack it to throw it away - why would a Sim unpack a spoiled sack lunch that they find lying around in the library?

Would it sit there festering for decades?

I find it works the best if you let Sims take it with them to an active career, retail lot they own, flee market stall, or even just for whenever your sim will be outside for a few in game hours in a place with no food.

That way you can actually make them eat it. At school or rabbit hole jobs it's very buggy, and I see no point in that because they always eat at one point during off screen school & work.

Edit: they have automatic lunch breaks so the lunch bags are actually useless there.
But it's strange how your sim came home hungry. They should be eating at school regardless of lunch bags :s

And to think the sack lunch was meant for the kiddos to eat while at school. It seems we can now grab and bag food from many different places yet the kiddos aren't eating them because even Sims parents believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day so the Sims kids don't get hungry enough to eat their sack lunches. That doesn't make much sense to me. But, then again, it makes perfect sense in EA logic. Throw in a new idea geared towards kids and the rest of us are running around hoarding leftovers to save a few Simoleans. And we have to send our Sims kids to school without breakfast so they will be hungry enough to eat the lunches a Sim mom or dad took the time to prepare. I'm confused. LOL

i found a use to the sack lunch, when i go to someone party and they do a meal, i always want to bring it home (cause i like to steal people's food i guess :D ) but since im not the one who made it i cant put the plate in my inventory, but if i put it in a sack i can put it in my inventory, and put it in the fridge when i come back.

I use the sack lunch to pack food from the Spice Festival sample table. :joy: :joy: :joy: :joy:

This whole thing is weird.

Millions of Simmers don't feed a Sim breakfast, so that they can eat a sack lunch - because if they eat breakfast, they won't eat the sack lunch.

I demand a United Nations intervention into this fiasco.

I was excited to use the sack lunch in my gameplay, until I noticed that your Sims have to skip a meal to eat it. I find that silly and it's unrealistic, as my Sims first thought is to grab food in the morning.

it is realistic to me, because I never eat breakfast myself.

It's realistic to have to skip a meal in order to eat lunch? You should be able to eat lunch regardless.
