Line 3:
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 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. 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.
 
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.
