The Sims 4 is probably one of my most-played games ever, as it currently sits in my EA library with thousands of recorded playtime hours. I’ve been playing the series’ fourth entry since I was a literal child and started with the older Sims games as soon as I could move a computer’s mouse properly. The game continues to get better with each passing update, as EA drops new free content features and bug fixes. The Sims 4’s latest update is all about building upon culinary passion ahead of the new Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack release.
A new massive kitchen-themed update for The Sims 4 is here, and it’s just in time for the launch of the game’s latest expansion, the Home Chef Hustle pack. The first change comes to the recipe UI, bringing filtering that lets you sort by what kind of food you’re hoping to make. Whether it be vegetarian or lactose-free, this will make cooking a specific kind of dish in the simulation game much easier.
The second big addition is one we’ve all waited ages to see. You’ll no longer need the dreaded cupcake factory machine thing to make one of the most simple deserts known to man. That’s right, your Sims can bake cupcakes using their ovens just as nature intended. I will no longer take up half of my kitchen with an oversized strange-looking device to just make cupcakes. Toddler Sims can now enjoy these sweet treats, too.
On a similar note, child Sims can use the in-game ice cream machine and enjoy some cool, sweet treats themselves. Every Sim will prepare food that reflects their appliance quality, current mood, and skill level, making for a more realistic culinary experience overall. All baking, cooking, and gourmet cooking recipes now better utilize expected ingredients.
Small appliances can be dragged around the game world while you’re playing live mode now, and Sims can also place them in their inventories to travel with any necessary items. Who doesn’t want to take their gravy fountain to the jungle? You can find our round-up of the other general bug fixes below.
