'''Hunger''' is one of the basic [[motives|needs]] of a Sim. Not fulfilling this need can result in [[death]]. Hunger also has a strong effect on job and school [[Job performance|performance]]. A Sim who goes to [[Career Tracks|work]] or [[school]] hungry will not do well. |

Most common and main way to satisfy the need is through consumption of [[food]]. |

For obvious reasons, a Sim cannot survive for very long without food. As long as a [[refrigerator]] is available, a Sim can have a snack, a frozen heat-and-eat meal,<ref>Called "Quick Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner" in ''The Sims'', "TV Dinner" in ''The Sims 2'', and "Microwave Meal" in ''The Sims 3''</ref> or a regular meal. A Sim can also serve a group meal (which is the same as a regular meal except one Sim prepares several servings). ''The Sims 2'', ''The Sims 3'', and ''The Sims 4'' added several cold foods, such as cereal, sandwiches, ice cream, and instant meals-in-a-can. |

Sims will seek and can fulfill some (although not much) of their hunger by drinking from a [[Bar (object)|bar]].{{Vgversion|TS2}} If there is a [[buffet table]] on the lot, player can send a Sim to stock it with food for a certain cost. These produced-dishes don't require any supply of a container source (refrigerator) or preparation. |

If a Sim is lacking a refrigerator for whatever reason, or is unable to cook, they can also phone for a [[pizza]]. However, eating a pizza is not nearly as fulfilling as cooking a meal, and it can take quite a while for it to arrive. Also, a pizza is more expensive than a group meal, costing §20-40. In ''The Sims'', an adult Sim without a refrigerator can also satisfy hunger on their home lot by cooking food on a [[barbecue]]. |

How well a meal fills the hunger meter depends on several factors. In ''The Sims'', it mostly depends on the Sim's [[cooking]] skill, but is also affected by the quality of the refrigerator. In other games, with more types of food available, it primarily depends on the type of food. In all games, if a stove or oven was used, it will be affected by the quality of that appliance. It can also be affected by the quality and cleanness of the preparation surface, and the use of a [[food processor]]. (In ''The Sims'', a food processor will automatically be used if present and accessible. In later games, if a food processor is present, it will automatically be used for foods that require chopping.) In ''The Sims 2'', ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims 4'', some types of food may be more satisfying if the Sim preparing them has a higher level of cooking skill than is needed to be able to make them. |

The introduction of [[community lot]]s in ''[[The Sims: Hot Date]]'' added ways for Sims to satisfy their hunger. ''Hot Date'' introduced [[restaurant]]s, which were also available in ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', (as [[rabbit hole]]s) in ''The Sims 3'', and in ''[[The Sims 4: Dine Out]]''. Community lots in ''The Sims'' could have a variety of carts, kiosks, and stands, depending on which expansion packs were installed. ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' added the '''[[Stove#ShinyTyme Cooktop|ShinyTyme Cooktop]]''', which could be used to provide basic cafeteria service on community lots in [[sub-neighborhood]]s.<ref>It will not spawn a cafeteria worker if placed on a base-neighborhood community lot.</ref> ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' added the '''[[One Complete Diner]]''' food stand, which sold gyros, hot dogs, and hamburgers. ''[[The Sims 3: Late Night]]'' added [[food truck]]s, while ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]'' introduced food stalls. In all four games, [[barbecue]] grills could be placed on community lots. |
