Food facts(?) and Is it worth having a food processor

<< < (5/10) > >>

RainbowTigress:
That requires building a separate kitchen area in order to lock it up, and that doesn't fit the style of some houses.

Assmitten:
Yes, I love open kitchens and kitchens with half walls. I didn't know about the starving thing! That would certainly happen in some of my houses. I get fixated on one sim and let the others fend for themselves sometimes, especially when aging's off.

Well, it's pretty much mandatory in the game to lock the kitchen area, either seperately or by sealing the entire combined kitchen and eating area, unless you plan to never have a party, because otherwise your fridge will be casually pillaged by visitors who think they own the place.

I downloaded Boblishman's hob last week or so--I was so excited to see one!  I was really disappointed when I looked at it in-game and found out it only has 1 hunger value point.

My sims never even get to buy a stove until they can afford one with 10 hunger points.  The lower stoves are a waste of money.

One thing I like about the food processor is that it saves quite a bit of counter cleaning.  My sims eat a lot of TV dinners, spaghetti and chef salads so the food processor comes in handy for the spaghetti and salads.  It seems like they just never are hungry enough to eat the big meals.

A note on buying a new fridge instead of having groceries delivered.

If you order a grocery delivery, it costs you §50 above what you would pay for food at a store.  If you sell an empty fridge that is fully depreciated and buy a new full fridge, it is §100 above what you would pay for food at a store.  Selling a partially empty fridge gives you back the full value of the food that it contains.

Selling an empty fridge is a little gamey, but isn't significantly more expensive than ordering a grocery delivery. And if you started with a cheap fridge, and now your Sim has lots of money, you might as well upgrade the fridge and get the food at the same time.
