Sims 2 food poisoning

A Sim with high Cooking will be able to cook better, more fulfilling meals. This helps all Sims who eat their cooking to have their Hunger need filled faster. This one is a must in the Culinary track, and useful for all other tracks as well.

In addition, a Sim may start a fire when attempting to cook a meal too advanced like if a Sim tried cooking salmon when it only knew how to nuke a TV dinner. Study this one at a bookshelf, or by watching the Yummy Channel on TV. Skill gain rates are dependent on the object used for it. For example, working out with the TV or the radio is fine. Always try to gain your skills using the fastest method to save time. Here's a screenshot from earlier as a reminder. All the bubbles next to the skill names are empty, but the first point of Cleaning is circled in blue.

That means she'll need to achieve one point in Cleaning to even be considered for promotion. Dividing the job summary and job skills is a vertical bar with two numbers at the bottom.

The bar is your Sim's job performance; obviously, the higher, the better. The bar raises with every day that your Sim goes to work on time and in a good mood. Some needs can usually be met at the job site , so don't fret if you've stuck between getting to work in only got two minutes or peeing yourself. Just head for work, and Bladder should be taken care of there. Not getting to work, or showing up in a bad mood, will hurt the job performance.

If the bar dips low enough, your Sim could be demoted, or even possibly fired. Family is stressed because Sims in the household can befriend other Sims and still have it contribute to the overall total, which plays into the Alpha Strategy section of the guide. That means she has no Family Friends, but she doesn't need any to be promoted. So, Kelly's got the day off today. Even if she didn't, she didn't have the job when the carpool was supposed to be there, so it's not counted against her.

She needs a single point of Cleaning to be up for a promotion, but she should learn how to prepare food for herself first. Living on one's own is a drag, huh? She sits in her discount chair and starts studying away. See that tube above her head? That's a progress bar that shows how far along she is to learning the skill. The smaller the number skill, the quicker it is. Now she's ready to cook a meal before going to bed.

And cooking gets its own separate sub-section! Cooking is an art, and in The Sims 2, you have to know what you're doing to make sure no one gets sick. If a meal is cooked wrong - whether that means overcooked or undercooked - the Sim that eats it will have a chance of suffering from food poisoning. It's not a pretty sight, especially since it can be contagious. Cooking can be done in two ways. The new way is to click a cooking appliance and select the option from there.

The latter is preferred, because by choosing your appliance, you can affect the speed of the meal. Food from ovens is more filling than from a microwave, but a microwave is extremely fast and definitely preferred if you've got a time crunch such as eating breakfast before work. Your refrigerator has a limited amount of food in it, and you'll have to get more groceries if you run out.

Complicated meals, and meals for multiple people, will use up more ingredients than basic meals. Eat only what you need to, only when you need to. The quality of the meal is not just based on your appliances, but your Sim as well. Sims with high Cooking skills not only make better meals, but they can make more types of meals. Sims without Cooking skills can barely handle TV dinners and instant meals like protein shakes and so forth , whereas a Sim with high Cooking skills can churn out turkeys left and right without effort.

Again though, banging out a turkey when you only need a bowl of spaghetti will quickly get your Sim out of shape. Here we see Kelly making a meal. She is led to the microwave and chooses Have Dinner, because she is the only one she is cooking for. She then chooses TV Dinner, as it's the only option. She'll go to the fridge automatically, cook it, then head to the nearest table and chair combo to eat. It's getting pretty late now, as you can see.

She needs to get ready for her first day of work tomorrow, so it's time to start wrapping it up to head for bed. She cleans up her plate, goes to the bathroom, takes a shower, sets her alarm, then dives into bed. In the morning, the alarm gets her up. She cooks a quick meal, then heads out to the carpool when it arrives.

It whisks her away to her work and out of our hair for a few hours. Did you see what time it was before she managed to get into the ambulance? Remember, the carpool only sticks around for one hour after it arrives, and at AM, Kelly cut that one close.

She lagged a bit because she was cleaning up her breakfast dishes, so she decides to get some help with those household duties. The moment she arrives home, the amount of money she earned is added to her household account. She'll need it, because hiring people to help out with the house can get expensive.

To start the process, all she needs to do is go to her phone. After selecting Services from the pie menu, a box will pop up with the list of services she can call. If your household has a decent income, you can call the Adoption Agency to get a kid without all the messy body fluids. You will be denied to adopt one if you can't financially support it.

As you can also see by the screenshots, Kelly's Social meter is awfully low. She also has the Want of successfully inviting someone over, and another Want of being friends with Albert Staple. We can kill all those birds with one stone.

She can buy a chessboard via Buy Mode with her remaining funds, and she can also use Buy Mode to move her dining chairs around it. After doing so, she can call up Albert and invite him over. Once together, they can play chess for awhile. Doing so will get her Logic up a point, and her relationship with Albert will grow.

To invite a Sim over to your Sim's house, the process is just as easy as getting a service. A list of all the Sims that your Sim knows will appear. It has the same symptoms as food poisoning, vomiting and nausea, but is not contagious or fatal. There is no way to prevent morning sickness and its intensity varies between Sims.

What happens when your Sims get nauseous on the Sims? When Sims become nauseous, they will receive two moodlets, one after the other, which both last an hour.

Nausea is a common illness that Sims can experience from a variety of causes. Affected Sims will get the "Nauseous" moodlet that lasts for 2 hours, and after the moodlet expires the affected Sim will throw up.

The flu shot is only available in Fall and Winter. If The Sims 3: Pets is installed, dogs can also get a cold and the "Germy" moodlet. The cold is still contagious, and can infect healthy Sims and dogs. Since dogs are pets, they cannot get a flu shot at hospital , so the only way for them to be cured is by waiting for the moodlet to expire.

Sims get "Allergy Haze" moodlet when they get allergies, which lasts for up to 10 days. The allergy shot is only available in Spring. Allergies are genetic, and they may be passed down to the offspring. Consuming or burning herbs can sometimes cause Sims to get nauseous and make them vomit when the timer runs out.
