Cuisine sims love their food. It's only fitting that their main hobbies are about sampling as many foods as they can.

Life[edit]

What increases the chances of Cuisine being a predestined hobby? An interest in food as well as a neat and lazy personality. When sims are born, they don't have access to many foods. Only baby bottles and toddler mush can be consumed. You'll just have to wait until childhood.

Children can eat the whole range of foods. There also are two objects for young chefs. The lemonade stand and the toy oven. In fact anything that boosts cooking skill also boosts cuisine enthusiasm. Watching the Yummy Channel, studying cooking at the bookshelf and, of course, preparing food at the kitchen.

As a teen, you can practise your skills at the kitchen. Getting extra points also unlocks new food to prepare. Eating the unlocked food also increases hunger further, giving your sims more time to develop their skills and interests.

When they go to college, invest in a major that can boost the culinary career. That is either the art or the philosophy major and continue practise their cooking skill. As well viewing kitchen themed decorations also boosts cuisine enthusiasm.

As an adult, the best career for cuisine sims in the culinary career. It just fits with your sim's profile as a chef. As well, the culinary reward, not only boosts cuisine enthusiasm but also gives your sims money. Another way to get money is to enter your sim into a food competition with a small prize and a ribbon to be won. As well, winning your first cooking contest is memorable for your sims.

As well as food, cuisine sims love beverages. They love having a drink at the bar and sampling the new nectars. But that's not all, coffee, hot chocolate, lemonade, fruit juice and special juices made from fruit and vegetables all boose cuisine enthusiasm.

Sue's (Secret) Kitchen[edit]

Sue's (Secret) Kitchen is the lot for all cuisine lovers. Enter the lot to immediatly two fully stocked kitchens ready to go. There's also a normal bar and the nectar bar waiting for you to sample their beverages. The chocolate machines also there, if you have some trouble cooking, you can ask the leader to teach you the ropes at the machine, onward to a dining area. Food lovers need a dining room. Last but not least is the food judging table. Because this is a hobby lot, entering the food contest also boosts enthusiasm. This lot has plenty of food objects but doesn't contain, among other things, a restaurant, juicer, buffet table, or any food-based object introduced in an expansion pack.

There are six chance cards that sims can get in their lifetime relating to the hobby. Three relating to school and three relating to work. The following is a list of each chance card.
