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