Stove: Difference between revisions

'''Stoves''' are used for cooking certain [[food|meals]]. In ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]'', [[Cooking]] skill points can be earned from using stoves, [[toaster oven]]s, [[microwave oven|microwaves]] and [[Barbecue|grills]]. Stoves can be found in [[buy mode]] under "Appliances -> Cooking".

In ''The Sims'', toaster ovens, microwaves, cooktops, and stoves all share the same capabilities. They are not clickable objects; one will be automatically used while [[Cooking#The Sims|cooking]] if it is available and accessible. If more than one is available and accessible, the Sim will choose one randomly, and the player has no control over which one the Sim will use.

|Have you ever been shopping in a traditional appliance store and looked at ovens? The similarities are almost incredible. They all look the same. Like the new Dialectric electric range. The Dialectric makes cooking a snap! Familiar design. SemiTuph heating elements. Grease waiter. Contradiction of opposite heat currents synthesizes perfect meals...every time.

Since ''The Sims 2'' has a full 3D environment, Sims can now use the ovens in stoves/ranges, and will use them when appropriate. Unlike ''The Sims'', stoves, microwaves, and toaster ovens cannot all cook the same dishes — some foods must be cooked on a specific type of appliance, or on one that has a specific type of cooking area. Stoves in ''The Sims 2'' are now clickable objects, but a stove's menu will only show meals that it is able to cook.
