In ''The Sims'', a microwave oven can make quick meals or steak and beans like any other stove. A household can have a microwave oven and a full-scale stove, but if this is done, the player will have no control over which one the [[Sim]]s use. Unlike stoves and the [[toaster oven]], there is no risk of [[fire]] when cooking with a microwave.

==The Sims 2==
In ''The Sims 2'', a microwave oven can only prepare a TV dinner and a Cup o' Ramen{{vgversion|University}}, and the Cup o' Ramen can only be prepared in a microwave; both of these dishes are single-serving only, meaning that group meals cannot be prepared with a microwave. Sims can burn food that is being cooked in a microwave, though it will not catch on fire. If a household has a microwave and a full scale stove, clicking on the microwave and choosing to make a TV dinner does not ensure that the Sim will use the microwave. Microwaves may break like many other appliances. If ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime|FreeTime]]'' is installed, they can be [[Tinkering|tinkered]] with.
