Cooking as a skill returns in ''[[The Sims 3]]''. The skill is augmented by the [[natural cook]] [[Trait (The Sims 3)|trait]]. The level of cooking skill determines what quality dishes can be made, what kinds of foods can be made, and the likelihood of whether the cooker will start a fire (if using appliances that aren't fireproof). However, Sims are not able to make certain foods until they learn the [[Cooking (The Sims 3)#Recipes|recipes]] for them. Several [[Opportunity|opportunities]] exist for skilled cooks. Sims can purchase cooking books and from there learn how to cook certain foods.

Achieving cooking skill of 5 unlocks the gourmet cooking skill, and if the player owns ''[[The Sims 4: Dine Out|Dine Out]]'', the ability to make certain experimental food dishes. If the Sim has at least a cooking skill level of 2, and is in certain emotional states, the ability to cook foods that will put Sims that eat it in that same emotional state, is unlocked. Certain mods that add new customized foods tend to override the ability to make emotional meals. If a Sim is in an [[inspired]] emotional state, the Sim will be able to make better quality food and [[Mixology (The Sims 4)|beverages]].
