Refrigerator

A refrigerator is an appliance from which a Sim takes food.

In The Sims, the household loses an amount of money each time they take food from their fridge. The quality of the refrigerator will affect how satisfying a meal is. More expensive refrigerators will produce more satisfying meals.

In The Sims 2, each refrigerator ships with a full food supply. All refrigerators have the same Hunger value, but the most expensive model will hold more food than the cheaper ones. As the food in a refrigerator is used, a family member must buy more, either at a grocery store or by calling for delivery. Each unit of food costs §2. With The Sims 2: Seasons, refrigerators can store leftovers and be stocked with produce.

In The Sims 3, food items can be bought or grown and stored in a refrigerator. If the needed ingredient to cook a recipe is missing from the refrigerator, the household loses more money than the ingredients would cost if one were to shop for them. Refrigerators can also store leftovers.
