College (sub-neighborhood): Difference between revisions

Dormitories and some community lots use the '''[[Stove#ShinyTyme Cooktop|ShinyTyme Cooktop]]''' and counter islands to provide cafeteria service. At 4 am, or shortly after playable Sims arrive on a community lot, a cafeteria worker will appear, go to the cooktop, and begin preparing food. Food that is ready to eat will be placed on the islands; the cafeteria worker will make more when enough of them are vacant. Depending on the number of islands, this will be either half or one more than half. Cafeteria service ends at midnight, and the cafeteria worker will not appear on community lots if Sims arrive too close to midnight. Selection is limited: usually pancakes for breakfast and mac and cheese for lunch and dinner. Occasionally, the cafeteria worker will make omelets for breakfast, chili con carne for lunch, and spaghetti for dinner. The cafeteria worker will clean up spoiled and abandoned food, but only if it is in the same room as the cooktop. When going off-duty, the cafeteria worker will usually, but not always, clear away empty plates and uneaten food. However, the cafeteria worker will not mop up the puddles left by a [[sprinkler (fire)|sprinkler]]. Playable students on a lot with a cafeteria can be directed to work in it, and will earn money as they do. The player can tell a Sim working in the cafeteria to quit by canceling the action.
