'''Food''' is a vital substance for Sims to consume, as it replenishes their [[hunger]] need. Over time, a Sim's hunger need will deplete. In the long run, not consuming food will cause a Sim to [[Death|die]] of [[starvation]]. Throughout the series, food comes in a number of varieties, such as cooked meals, instant meals, snacks, and raw ingredients.

[[File:Good_Meal.png|left]]
For the Sims it's a lot easier. No food = low [[hunger]] = [[starvation]] = [[death]].
 
Initially, food only served to replenish a Sim's hunger. Later series enhanced the mechanism of food, such as requiring ingredients for [[cooking]], changing a Sim's [[Fitness (attribute)|fitness]] and [[body shape]], and giving special effects and benefits to Sims who eat certain food.
Food is most often taken from a [[refrigerator]] and must be prepared or cooked before a Sim can eat it.
 
Food is usually obtained from a [[refrigerator]], and depending on the recipe, will need to be prepared on a preparation [[surface]] or [[food processor]], and/or be cooked using a [[stove]] or [[microwave]]. Sims can choose to have a meal, which will produce a single serving for themselves, or serve a meal, which will produce a serving platter that up to six Sims can get plates from. Sims can also choose to have a quick meal that requires minimal cooking, or obtain a snack that requires no preparation. In general, foods that require preparation and cooking are better at satisfying the hunger need than quickly prepared foods.
 
Alternatively, the player can opt for Sims to order [[Delivery food|takeout delivery]]. Certain types of foods, such as wedding and [[birthday cake]]s, may also be purchased from [[buy mode]] or a [[grocery store]], ready to eat for the occasion.
 
Most food must be served in a plate or bowl, which will be "generated" out of thin air for the occasion. Once Sims are finished eating, empty plates and bowls will need to be washed in a [[sink]] or [[dishwasher]]. In ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 4'', Sims without a sink or a dishwasher can throw empty or dirty dishes into the [[garbage can|garbage]]. While dirty dishes can be disposed of in ''The Sims 3'', Sims will not do this autonomously, and the player will have to manually drag dirty dishes into the garbage.
 
==The Sims==
''[[The Sims]]'' featured only a few types of food. [[Sim]]s with a fridge can have a snack, or can prepare a meal. The meal will be either steak and beans, a salad, or a can of beans, depending on what else is available. If the Sim doesn't have, or can't get to, a [[stove]], microwave, or toaster oven, the meal becomes a salad. If the Sim doesn't have, or can't get to, a preparation surface, the meal becomes a can of beans. Sims can choose to have a 'quick meal', which does not need to be prepared, but does need tocan be cooked for best results. Sims can use the [[Barbecue|BBQ grill]] to cook a plate of hamburgers. Sims do not have to buy food, but are instead charged each time they prepare a meal or have a snack. They are charged §20 for a group meal (which serves six), §10 for a single meal, and §5 for a snack. (If ''[[Unleashed]]'' is installed, they are not charged for meals prepared from a [[pantry]], though they'll still be charged for snacks.) Sims can also use the phone to order [[pizza]], which will cost them §40.
 
Later [[expansion pack]]s provided more food for Sims to eat, including a [[birthday cake]], cookies, and turkey. This food is bought from the[[buy Buy catalogmode]], and is ready to eat when boughtpurchased. ''[[Livin' Large]]'' added [[Servo#The Sims|Servo]], which will produce food when told to serve a meal. It's not very good food, but it is free. In ''[[The Sims: Unleashed|Unleashed]]'', [[dog]]s and [[cat]]s can be fed pet food using a [[food bowl]]. The most significant upgrade was that of ''[[Makin' Magic]]'', which provided a baker's oven which allows Sims to cookprepare more types of food, as long as the required ingredients were in the Sim's inventory.

It must be carved before being eaten and all nearby Sims will watch and applaud while it's being carved. Eating the turkey will make the Sims energy meter quickly go down, so Sims should not eat the turkey unless they have a full energy meter. May be produced by the center of the buffet table if on a residential lot.

==The Sims 2==
Food in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' is more complicated, featuring many new choices, like ''Mac and Cheese'', ''Lobster Thermidor'' and ''Baked Alaska''. Food is evennow classified into three types: Snackssnacks, Mealsmeals, and Dessertdessert, with meals alsobeing further categorized as breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sims are only able to prepare breakfast, lunch, or brokendinner downrecipes depending on the time of day:; Breakfastfor instance, LunchSims andcannot Dinnermake pancakes in the afternoon, as it is classified as a breakfast food. (''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business|Open for Business]]'' added the ability to Makemake any type of food the Sim is able to prepare, except for a TV Dinner, at any time of the day, but the Sim usuallywill won'tnot eat or serve thatthe food unless the player directs them to.) Sims can use the phone to order [[Pizza#The Sims 2|pizza]], which costs §40. With the ''[[The Sims 2: University|University]]'' expansion pack, Sims can also order Chinese takeout, which costs §30.
 
The types of food Sims can prepare depends on their level in the [[Cookingcooking]] [[skill]]. Also, some foods require certain equipment to make, e.g. needing a microwave to make Cup O' Ramen .{{Vgversion|University}} If food preparation is interrupted, the food will be left as partially prepared. The player can click on the partially prepared meal and direct a Sim to discard it ("Clean Up") or to continue making it ("Resume Cooking"). In some cases, a Sim who does not have enough cooking skill to make the meal from scratch may not be able to finish making it once it has been started. During preparation of certain items, a milk carton appears. This carton has a missing person on the back, and depending on the meal, the person can be [[Bella Goth]], the [[Tragic Clown]], or the [[Social Bunny]].
 
Unlike other games, Sims in ''The Sims 2'' who have been instructed to serve a meal will attempt to set each individual place at the nearest dining surface when they have finished cooking. When doing so, they will take into account the number of Sims present on the lot, and will generally not set more places than there are available Sims.<ref group="n">While the game will take into account Sims that are not currently present on the lot, the game ''will'' take into account Sims that are otherwise unable to actually eat the food, such as [[toddler]]s, [[baby|babies]], and [[ghost]]s; or Sims that would not normally need to eat the food under normal circumstances, such as [[Servo]]s, [[PlantSim]]s, or Sims who are currently asleep. A [https://www.modthesims.info/d/344323/call-to-meal-fixes-and-place-setting-fixes.html mod] at [[Mod The Sims]] corrects this.</ref> Other Sims on the lot may autonomously seat themselves at the dining table and wait to be served. If ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life|Apartment Life]]'' is installed, Sims can cook and serve meals in the [[apartment]] communal area, if the necessary amenities are present. However, they are not able to eat at a neighbor's apartment.<ref group="n">A [https://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=344321 mod] at [[Mod The Sims]] provides this functionality.</ref>
One difference from ''The Sims'' is that it's possible for a Sim to become distracted while waiting for their food to cook, especially if they're using an oven. This can result in a burned meal, or even a [[fire]]. Even if the Sim doesn't get distracted, they can still burn a meal, as even the best cooks don't ''always'' get it right. Another difference is that cold foods, such as cereal and lunch meat sandwiches, are available, so Sims with little Cooking skill can eat without risking fire. Also, ''The Sims 2'' fridges occasionally have to be restocked, which means that it's necessary to buy groceries once in a while via the phone, computer, or grocery store.
 
Sims who have less than three neat points can "Lick Clean" empty plates as a faster alternative to washing them, which will provide a slight hunger boost. They cannot lick clean bowls, however.
[[Child|Children]] can only prepare food using the toy oven, which makes a muffin that is fairly filling. Like adults, they can get distracted while cooking.

Food is bought and stocked in units, which normally cost §2 apiece, though a Sim-owned [[business]] may charge more. If groceries are delivered, there is an extra §50 charge for delivery.
Later [[expansion pack]]s such as ''[[Holiday Party Pack]]'', ''[[Open for Business]]'' and ''[[Seasons]]'' added more foods for Sims to cook. ''[[Bon Voyage]]'' adds special foods that can only be eaten on vacation.

In ''[[The Sims 2: Pets|Pets]]'', [[dog]]s and [[cat]]s can be fed using a [[food bowl]] or with pet treats. They can also be fed plates of Sim food that have been placed on the ground.<ref group="n">Cats may jump onto counters to eat food placed there.</ref> Pets can be [[Skill_(pet)#Behaviors|trained]] to prefer eating pet food by praising them for eating from the food bowl or scolding them for eating Sim food, and vice versa. Pets may also beg Sims who are eating at a table for food scraps, which will promptly be tossed down to the animal.
 
Later [[expansion pack]]s such as ''[[Holiday Party Pack]]'', ''[[Open for Business]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' added more foods for Sims to cook. ''[[Bon Voyage]]'' adds special foods that can only be eaten on vacation. With ''[[FreeTime]]'', Sims who have sufficient [[enthusiasm]] in the [[Cuisine]] [[hobby]] can get chips & dip, cheese, and appetizer platters from the fridge. These platters are treated as group meals, though they do not have the "Call to Meal..." option that other group meals do. Since they require no preparation, they do not depend on the Sim's Cooking skill.
 
A list of in-game food can be found [[Cooking#Food by cooking level|here]].
 
==The Sims Castaway Stories==
{{Main|Food (The Sims Castaway Stories)}}
Food in ''Castaway Stories'' has changed, mainly because it has to be collected. Food can be collected much as [[resources]] can. Here are the ways:
*Collecting fruit from trees (coconuts, papayas, bananas),
*Fishing (bigger fish bring more food),
*Going to work (this also brings resources).
 
==The Sims 3==
{{See also|Cooking (The Sims 3)}}
Food in ''The Sims 3'' can be moved out of the fridge by clicking on it and clicking "open". Unlike ''The Sims 2'', foods can be chosen when bought from a grocery store. Food can be made into meals by Sims that have enough cooking skill. As in ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'', Sims can burn food and start fires. There are also "quick meals" which are filling, but don't give your sim any mood benefit (Such as good meal).
{{Missing-info|Food in other expansion packs except WA, SN, Season, and Quick Meals}}
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', [[refrigerator]]s provide the Sims with the choices of quick meals and meals for food. Quick meals in the fridge are free of charge, but for the most part - require no preparation. Whilst they are filling as main meals, they don't give a Sim any [[mood]] benefit, such as the Good Meal [[moodlet]]. Main meals, which use up or charge the Sim for the needed ingredients, require a countertop to be prepared on, then cooked on a [[stove]] or [[microwave]]d. These meals, as well ingredients, can be stored and later retrieved from the refrigerator to prolong expiration. And unlike in previous game, [[leftover]]s will eventually still spoil in the fridge and Sim's inventory if left there for too long.
 
Food can also be obtained by stocking a [[buffet table]] with three dishes for a price. Unlike in previous games, fruit and vegetables can be consumed entirely in their raw form. Sims taking a visit to a [[Bistro]] can Eat Outside to order a random dish of their choice. In ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures|World Adventures]]'', Sims can purchase [[dried food]] in foreign locations, which will never spoil and can be eaten on the go. [[Food truck]]s can provide Sims with greasy street food in [[Bridgeport]]. Many community lots contain [[bar (object)|professional bars]], [[food stand]]s and [[espresso bar|barista bar]]s, that sell food, though these are usually of low quality. [[Resort]]s comes with a special buffet table, which can be set up of different type of variety and cost for quality.
Like ''The Sims 2'', children can use the toy oven to make muffins and other sweets. These were later broken down into vanilla, chocolate, and other goods for the bake sales in ''The Sims 3 Ambitions''.

==The Sims 4==
{{See also|Cooking (The Sims 4)}}
Food in ''The Sims 4'' is now categorized by the way it is prepared, rather than by time of day it is served. Sims can [[Cooking (The Sims 4)|cook]] homestyle and gourmet meals in the kitchen, or [[Baking|bake]] pastries with the [[Whipped Dream Cupcake Factory|cupcake factory]]. Unlike ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'', but in a throwback to ''The Sims'', they don't have to buy food, but are instead charged each time they prepare a meal. Quick meals, which are not needed to be prepared don't cost money but constantly eating them will result in a temporary debuff due to an unbalanced diet and craving for proper meals. By using freshly grown ingredients, Sims can both decrease the cost of the meal prepared and affect its quality. Sims can also use the phone to order [[pizza]], of which they have three varieties to choose from, each costing them §25.
 
When Sims eat, their meals can consist of both a food item and a beverage. Beverages available are milk, juice, [[coffee]], [[tea]], or anything they either [[Mixology (The Sims 4)|mix]] themselves or order from a [[Bar (object)|bar]].
 
Food that is being discarded from a dish will be dumped into a [[garbage can]] before the dish is washed. If there is no sink or dishwasher available, then the whole dish will also be discarded.
 
A list of in-game food recipes can be found [[Cooking (The Sims 4)#Recipes|here]].

The following meals can be made without any preparation.

==Modded Food==
{{See also|Custom content}}
Modded food (Modified food) is food downloaded from sites like [http://www.thesimsresource.com/ [The Sims Resource]] and [[ModTheSims2Mod The Sims]]. These sites have a dedicated "food" section, where players can download several types of food like ice cream, Chinese chicken and French bread. Earlier versions of food for ''The Sims 2'' have had many problems which creators tried to overcome, such as food not disappearing when eaten, among other things.
 
Downloads for ''The Sims 3'' can also add new recipes, make recipes more complex, and increase the price for ingredients if a Sim doesn't own them.
