Why is it rude to cook at somebodys house?

It’s not as bad as sims spending the night at their significant other’s house and being told off for having a shower in the morning.

They've had that notification since launch. I'm assuming they don't want to go back and fix it. You'll get the same notification if you go to a family members house and cook, shower etc. I can see why it would be a problem at an acquaintance house, but not family or friends houses. I just ignore it or give them the always welcome trait.

Do you have the reward trait "Always Welcome"? If not, cheat enough reward points if you must to buy it for your sim. This will help you out a lot with different interactions when visiting another sim.

Now to answer your question with an example. I think it's like if I visit my mom and help her out. Unless I ask her if she minds if I cook her dinner she'll get mad at me because these are her pots and pans (even if I bring food over to cook) and I am making a mess of her kitchen. In her mind, she is thinking I'm just going to leave a mess and force my dietary needs on her. Which is far from the truth more often than not it's because I saw this recipe I want to try out on somebody in my family because we are all very open-minded when it comes to different cuisine. I know if its something she really likes I can make it for the rest of my family when we have family get-togethers. However, if I ask her if I can cook a nice meal over her home and tell her I'll clean up afterwards she is more likely to say yes. I suppose that sims are similar in their reactions. They might think your sim is using food they got from the grocery for a specific meal or will leave their home a mess as a result of cooking them a meal.

Yeah, it's dumb. I don't know why. -.- They probably did cuz I think they know I always like my sim to go Geoffrey's house and use the grill to try to burn his house down. :D Or that other time where I keep on making a mess in the kitchen with all the uncooked food. Sigh... I miss those days. LOL!

IRL, I would consider its rude as well, even among family members. I love my privacy & don't appreciate if one is messing up with my place! :D But, I would say that, Always Welcome trait could help your Sims a lot. Perhaps we need another interaction where we could ask the house owner if we could cook or something similar.

yeah I don't understand why family members are kick out of the house for cooking. My young adult went to university and I put in the campus and then I decided to go home to visit family and he got kicked out for cooking I was like ''wth? but you are his mom how can you kick him out?'' T-T I had to buy the reward always welcome to my sim to not have issues u.u

My sims were kicked out of the brothers house for trying to feed his hungry toddler ??‍♀️ I wish they would fix this issue. I love going with my sims to visit their extended family, but this problem makes it impossible

I think this has more to do with the relationship system being messed up than anything else. There is really no difference if you have an old friend or you just met someone and became friends. There is no difference between going to visit your family or a friend. (as far as the game is concerned) The whole system needs a huge overhaul. The game should recognize "hey this is your parents home, more things should slide" as opposed to going to a friends house where you wouldn't necessarily start randomly cooking or taking a shower. I agree though it's frustrating.

Totally agree, I know I'd react differently to say, someone I know and trust and love coming over my place and cooking on my stove (I'd welcome it, feed me plz), than somebody I've just met.

At any rate, it's super annoying but the Always Welcome reward trait does wonders and it is thankfully pretty cheap

That always welcome trait should be a requirement for anyone joining that upper crusts club since you are meeting at the Bjergsen's house. it is the only time i tried to cook at someone elses house and Sofia came down to scold my sim for cooking.

I don't understand why EA just leaves it in the game after all this time, i mean they make a big fuss about fixing game bugs and don't fix the ones that should be fixed like this one. the door glitch; specifically trying to exit a bathroom or enter an apartment that suddenly fails to recognise. switching off a radio and the sim is still apparently listening to music and getting fun from it even though you turned it off, the order is still there.. so many things to correct than just these.
