Why is it rude to cook at somebodys house?
I just got kicked out of my friends house for cooking, although we're both hungry. I know if I was spending the night itd be fine, but throughout the series it is a kick-out offense. Why?

While I agree pertaining to strangers and even friends, my own family are perfectly ok with a child coming home from Uni wanting to have a shower, food and a bed for a night or seven. I wouldn't dream of yelling at my brother for using my microwave or bathtub.....
I don't really agree with that. I think it's very rude, even for family to help themselves without asking (with the only exception being my children that are grown and moved out) but even then, they are polite enough to ask permission first. Both my grown children know anything in my house is welcome to them, but I also raised them to be polite and they ask before helping themselves.
On the same note, I would never just go help myself to anyone's items without asking first. Not even my mothers. When I go to my mother's house, and I get thirst, I ask, "Do you have something to drink?" I would never just go get in her fridge without permission.
Again, I think a "ask permission for..." would be great (as mentioned by another simmer) but having the always welcome works fine for me, I just do a few socials and "pretend" I asked permission. (We sure do have to pretend a lot for a life simulator).
Yep, real life my brother or children would ask, but we can't ask in the sims. Ideally the option to ask would be there. But it isn't so I would expect in the sims world it to just be ok to go ahead in your parents or siblings house.
See, again, I'm opposite. Since the option to ask isn't there, I'd expect it to just not be okay and if I want it to be okay, I can purchase the reward trait. That way, everyone is happy. The people like me - that want the feature included - and people like you - that want to be able to walk in someone's house and start cooking. Easy-peasy... purchase the cheapo 500 point reward and we're both happy.- It drives me crazy not being able to cook at other houses
- I find it kind of funny how sims get triggered at the tiniest things, like they let you stay the night, but how dare you put a plate in the dishwasher, shower, or cook dinner for both sims. I think it's just an oversight stretching from the fact that it would technically be rude to walk into someone's house and start cooking.
- I've no idea why this exists, but it's always annoyed me. I used to use the "always welcome" reward trait, but now I have a mod that allows me to go over and do whatever, without having to worry about adding a trait to every Sim I play.
- Actually at a Calhouni wedding, my characters supposed to be married, the hired cooks didn't make a cake for the wedding candles. so sent the groom in to bake the cake in the stove, then he got kicked out. Ironic.

@Feisbukaite yeah that is one of my biggest annoyances when visiting a different household that has small children. When visiting all of a sudden the sim your playing is responsible for the welfare of another sim’s offspring. I can’t cook at your place but I’m supposed to take care of your kids, that’s messed up.
you don't have to.- It's super annoying. I feel like it's fine for sims you don't know well or aren't in relationships/friendships with but it really doesn't make sense that an adult sim can't cook at her parent's house without them getting upset.

It hasn't always been there. I had a Sim who was homeless in this game at the first. He went around to homes and cooked, showered and slept in TS4. I loved that. Because I am their god. I rule all houses. Lol But anyway it was patched to the best of my knowledge to be inapproriate when they needed to make Always Welcome more relevant than it was because at first it did nothing because Sims were always welcome anyway.
Idk why it wasnt in TS4 since inception, but its always been in the series is what I meant.
Sims in 1&2 can't visit. It's a carry over from TS3 to be inapproraiate and get thrown out. lol TS3 Sims were always throwing out my Sims. I think it's a very poor host/hostess who never ask/offers my Sim a drink, or food, or to use the bathroom, or to rest. Poor hospitality. lol- I also got in trouble for plunging a toilet that I clogged. I think in the sims 3 you can get away with more as you become friends.
- I find it strange that when a sim invites another sim to spend the night, the invited sim won't sleep in the bed unless they have just woohooed.
