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'' and ''The Sims 3'' added several cold foods, such as cereal, sandwiches, ice cream, and instant meals-in-a-can. |

If a Sim is lacking a refrigerator for whatever reason, or is unable to cook, |
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 §30-40. 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'' and ''The Sims 3'', 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. |

Neglecting the hunger need will give a hungry Sim the "hungry" moodlet for three hours. After that, it will be replaced with "very hungry", which will last for one day. If the Sim still hasn't eaten by the time that moodlet expires, |
Neglecting the hunger need will give a hungry Sim the "hungry" moodlet for three hours. After that, it will be replaced with "very hungry", which will last for one day. If the Sim still hasn't eaten by the time that moodlet expires, they will finally get the "starving" moodlet. If that moodlet expires, the hungry Sim will die of starvation. Toddlers have the second two moodlets for 12 hours and babies have "Very Hungry" and "Starving" for a mere 8 hours. |

Sims can also buy the "Hardly Hungry" [[lifetime reward]] for 25,000 lifetime points. This will cut the decay rate of hunger to ¼ of usual. |
