Culinary
Culinary
A Five-Star Chef in The Sims 3.
The Culinary career is one of the basic career tracks that shipped with The Sims 2, The Sims 3, and The Sims 4. A similar career, called culinary arts, came with The Sims: Unleashed.
The Sims Edit
The culinary arts career track comes with an expansion pack for The Sims, Unleashed. Like the Circus career track, it has the lowest pay in the whole game at Rank 1 and a strictly average pay at rank 10, and its pay curve has the dubious honor of briefly dipping below the Slacker pay curve. Out of all 20 careers in the base game, Livin' Large, and Unleashed, it offers the fourth-lowest combined pay over all ten ranks ($4045), with only Circus, Slacker, and Education being lower, and is neither especially hard nor especially easy to climb.
A Candy Bar Magnate will eventually change careers and become a Top Secret Researcher in the Science career track.

Trivia Edit
- The host uniform at Level 4 is seemingly based off the uniform that Jennifer Aniston's character, Joanna, wears in the film Office Space, the purple uniform and the numerous badges is heavily reminiscent of the uniforms that the employees have to wear in the film.[1]
- The Culinary career level 9 is wrongly named "Restauranteur". It's supposed to be "Restaurateur".

The Sims 4 Edit
The Culinary career is one of the career tracks from The Sims 4 base game. After being promoted from level five, Sims will be able to choose one of the two career paths: Chef or Mixologist. If a Sim is in the Culinary Career they will sometimes have the whim "Go to Work feeling Inspired" which will grant 40 satisfaction points if you send the Sim to work with the Inspired Moodlet.
Career Levels Edit
Description: "Anyone can make dinner or mix a drink at home. The Culinary career is for those who want to take it to another level and make money doing it."
Chef Branch Edit
Description: "It takes a special touch to craft exquisite food. Begin your journey of making Sims weak in the knees with a dangerously delicious dish."
Mixologist Branch Edit
Description: "A master mixologist knows the ins and outs of various mixers and ingredients to create a drink that makes the shyest Sim sit up and notice." With Discover University, although there is no degree associated with the mixologist branch, if a student sits in 10 or more mixology skill classes, there is a chance they will be offered a job in the mixology branch.
