XLR8R & XLR8R2 Food Processor Game The Sims, The Sims 2 Buyable Buy mode Price §220 Type Appliance Size 1x1 counter

A food processor is a small appliance found in The Sims, The Sims 2, and The Sims 3. In the former two games, it costs §220, and will speed preparation and add hunger value to food when used.

The Sims

In The Sims, it's known as the XLR8R Food Processor, and is considered to be the best food preparation surface. It is always used for single and group meals, unless the Sim preparing the meal cannot get to it.

The Sims 2

In The Sims 2, it's been upgraded to the XLR8R2. FreeTime added the Frugal Fruitlover's Friend, which appears similar to the XLR8R2, but sells for less (§180 instead of §220). Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff added the Carrot Chopper Deluxe, which is slightly more expensive (§260 instead of §220).

A food processor will be used whenever food needs to be chopped, but will not be used at other times. There are food preparation surfaces that are slightly better than a food processor, but food processors still have advantages. They speed preparation of food that needs to be chopped, especially for Sims with lower Cooking skill. Using a food processor keeps the counter it sits on clean, even when used by a sloppy Sim. Also, it appears that food processors don't need to be cleaned.

The Sims 3

Ingredient Eviscerator 235X Game The Sims 3 Buyable Buy mode Price §280 Type Skill, Needs Size 1x1

In The Sims 3, the food processor is called the Ingredient Eviscerator 235X, and it costs §280. It can be used to make baby food out of leftovers. Sims can get one free through the Culinary career.

However, unlike in The Sims 2, the counter on which the food processor is placed needs to be cleaned after several uses of the food processor. The player does not need to use Buy mode to move the food processor when the countertop needs cleaning; the Sim will make it temporarily disappear while cleaning the countertop.
