Food: Difference between revisions

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 microwaved. These meals, as well ingredients, can be stored and later retrieved from the refrigerator to prolong expiration. And unlike in previous game, leftovers 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 [[barista bars]], 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.
