Food in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' is more complicated, featuring many new choices, like ''Mac and Cheese'', ''Lobster Thermidor'' and ''Baked Alaska''. Food is now classified into three types: snacks, meals, and dessert, with meals being further categorized as breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sims are only able to prepare breakfast, lunch, or dinner recipes depending on the time of day; for instance, Sims cannot make 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 make any type of food the Sim is able to prepare, except for a TV Dinner, at any time of the day, but the Sim will not eat or serve the 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 [[cooking]] [[skill]].
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>
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.
