6.2 Eating and Food
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the most time consuming parts of the Sims is eating, not only does it
take time to eat, but it also takes time to prepare the meal. There are some
things that can be done to speed this up.
Organise your kitchen well, Have the fridge at one end, with two surfaces and
then the oven. On one of these surfaces place the food processor, as this will
speed up the preparation of some foods, and increase the value of satisfaction.
Some food however cannot be prepared with the food processor, and thus the need
for the second bench. Next to the oven place the sink, and then some more
benches heading out to the area where your Sims eat. When you can install the
trash compactor and washing machine under these benches. This should save your
Sim a lot of time.
Tip - If there is more than one Sim in your house, always have the Sim with
the most cooking skill point cook the food. This will satisfy the
hunger want the most.
Whenever you can serve the food, try to avoid Sims making food only for the one
Sim. This both waste time and money.
Below is a chart a chart of all the foods that your Sims can prepare. This chart
is sorted cooking skill need to make the Food available to cook.
