There were some little Sims tips and tricks and tidbits of information scattered throughout, but ultimately not that many. You can cancel your subscriptions at any time by going to the computer and selecting the “Cancel Subscription” option on the box type that you no longer want to be delivered. I linked a video by WhinyBrit above, which shows off this food mod in a super fun way—by making her sims do a baking challenge TV show! You can only spend money to craft a missing “Any Ingredient” requirement with the lot challenge disabled.

In fact, there are 63 recipes based on dishes in The Sims 4, 11 based on The Sims 3, 4 based on The Sims 2, and 10 that are based on a combination of the games. I love stuff like this because not only does it all more cultural representation to the game, but it also makes a pretty useless part of the game (drinking water, lol) feel exciting and new. Now, you can perfect the baked Alaska and lobster thermidor you’ve been watching your Sims make with The Unofficial Sims Cookbook .

New Ingredient Requirements– All ingredients are optional unless you are using the Cottage Living “Simple Living Lot Challenge” which forces all recipes to require ingredients to craft.

Each meal is negative calories (perfect for sims trying to lose weight) and there are tons of great healthy options. The best part was the cocktail section, because those, at least, seemed more defensible as drink recipes and really made a concerted effort to mirror the aesthetic and presumed flavor profile of the drinks in-game. Seeing some of the recipes my Sims have made over the years come to life was pretty awesome, and I'm actually going to give some of them a try! Each recipe tells which Sims edition or special pack the recipe can be found and has a cute little explanation of each one. I thought it was really cool because it includes meals from various Sims games and lists which one it's from at the top!In The Unofficial Sims Cookbook, readers will find out that the digital renderings of the food they’ve seen since the Sims came out in 2000 is even better IRL. As someone who has been playing the Sims since its inception (Sims 1 - and yes, I just highlighted my age with a big yellow highlighter), this was more of a nostalgic read for me than anything. From flavored drinks to tasty snacks, to filling meals, and luscious desserts, the variety and availability of the dishes in the cookbook is endless. waves* I picked this book up on a whim from my public library because I've been playing Sim games since. Similar to how they cook the regular dishes in the game, your Sims could prepare these recipes from the cookbook in single-serving, family size, or party size.
