Sims 1 vs Sims 2 vs Sims 3 vs Sims 4 - Cooking

Sims 1 vs Sims 2 vs Sims 3 vs Sims 4 - Cooking
Sims 1
In The Sims 1, Sims can prepare a single meal or a group serving. But they will always prepare the same meals for breakfast, lunch or dinner, regardless of their cooking skill level. Higher cooking skill will reduce the amount of time a Sim needs to cook the meal, and will reduce the risk of fire. The servings will also be more filling.
With The Sims: Makin' Magic Sims can now make few more meals using a special oven. Using the special oven, and combining the right ingredients you can make a bread, Homemade Cake, Carrot Cake, Elderberry Pie, and a Magic Tart.
Sims 2
The Sims 2 expanded food and cooking to a whole new level. Now Every category has different meals to prepare for breakfast, lunch and dinner. When preparing a meal, Sims will pull out utensils and pots from under the counter as needed. As Sims build their cooking skill, the number of meals from every category will expand as well. Sims will prepare meals faster, and the risk of burning the food or causing fire will be lower. Cooked meals in The Sims 2 will produce steam. Like in The Sims 1, The Sims 2 also has a food processor available. Sims can also use a microwave when available. The Microwave in the Sims 2 spins.
Sims 3
Cooking returns as a skill in The Sims 3. There is also a natural cook trait. Like in the Sims 2, Every category has different meals to prepare. When preparing a meal, Sims can crack an egg. Unlike The Sims 2, Sims won't get utensils and pots from under the counter. Everything needed will teleport in their hands. But the batter will always spin when mixing
the level of cooking skill will determine the level of quality, the variety of meals that can be made, will unlock some moves while cooking.
Sims 3 also expanded on vegetarian meals with the vegetarian trait.
Food processor is also available in the Sims 3. Sims can also prepare some quick meals in a microwave. The food in the microwave won't spin.
Sims 4
The Sims 4, definitely expanded food and cooking to a different level. Without a doubt, The Sims 4 has the widest range of recipes and different cuisines to learn and experiment. The Sims 4 has more than 100 different recipes, including many vegan and vegetarian options.
Every category of meals is expanded. and Sims that are cooking while inspired, will level up the cooking skill faster. While cooking, Sims won't pull utensils and pots from under the counter, but Similarly to The Sims 3, things will just teleport in their hands.
As Sims continue to raise their cooking skill, they will unlock new recipes and tricks, this also reduces the risk of causing Fire while cooking. There won't be steam coming out of the dishes.
A Stand Mixer was one of the small kitchen appliances added with The Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack. A steam cooker was also added in that pack. Sims can now make even more meals with it. This stuff pack also added a waffle maker. Sims will put some kind of waffle mix directly on the waffle maker. With this pack you can also make pizza.
Achieving Level 5 Cooking Skill, unlocks the Gourmet Cooking Skill . and a lot more recipes. As we saw in the previous Sims games, while cooking, aside for the for the stove, Sims can also use the oven.
Who is the winner?

Nothing more realistic than people with personalities that are like cartoonish stereotypes running around collecting random junk off the ground for virtually no reason and walking into fake buildings with blurry jpeg interiors... Also, don't you and your car teleport together whenever you need to go anywhere, and pass through other vehicles on a regular basis? As for the scope of cooking it's rediculously unrealistic. Last time I checked when I open my fridge and don't have the ingredients for a meal, I can't just pay for the ingredients Sims 1 style and have them appear. At least with 2 leaving the ingredients you buy ambiguous in the form of food points it is easier to suspend disbelief... 3's weird hybrid system where you can buy groceries but don't have to just points out to your face the logical inconsistancy everytime you make a meal.

My favorite little detail from the sims 3 is that you can regularly go grocery shopping for ingredients and that having them will make recipes free to cook. It’s neat because when you see the prices pop back up you know you have to send your sims out to go shopping again. It feels realistic

[@gravity_agreste9591]

The sims 4 com Vida campestre ( fazenda ) tem uma opção de traço do lote que você pode fazer todas as comidas comprando ou plantando, tipo para fazer um jantar você também precisa de todos os ingredientes para preaprá-lo assim como Ts3.

You needed to go grocery shopping in 2 though it was less convenient as you had to literally do a loading screen to go to a grocery store lot or have them delivered. 4 also lowers prices if you have ingredients (there's even a simple living lot trait that makes you have those ingredients to cook) but again you'll have to either get them delivered or be near a booth that sells groceries.

Did you know that there is a new and improved Sims Game coming soon called "Life by You" ? It's made by Will Wright, the original creator of The Sims and the Maxis production studio 🩷 its the game we've all longed for as Sims Fans.. Sims 4 was absolutely disappointing and you could tell that it was a quick cash grab for EA..that's why Will started a new production studio to give us the game we've always wanted 🥺 improved graphics, it's open world (unlike Sims4), new activities, accessories and a lot of stuff that would normally be sold as separate add ons 😩🩷 it's just all-round a better game !! They even posted a few Game plays on their KZbin channel (also called "Life By You") - *keep in mind that the Game plays on their channel are on the unfinished game 🥰 they still need to add voices/ a language and fine-tune a lot of things !* I really don't know how he managed to do it without getting copyrighted by EA 🤣 that's also why there isn't a language yet because they have to create a new one similar to simlish 🥰 If you're a Sims fan then please show them some love by following their KZbin channel 🥺🩷 He spend all this money because he's ashamed of what happened to the Sims and how disappointed many of the fans were..

Sims 2 had the smoothest animations by far and the best details. From what I've seen through gameplay, I barely see anything locking into place, and I just love how they open drawers just to get the utensils they need. Sims 3, while not as smooth and detailed, is still pretty good and it has its own details that Sims 2 didn't have. Plus most of the recipes aren't just placing ingredients in a bowl and mixing them. Sims 1 is fine because it was supposed to be the foundation to all life sims so of course the later ones would do things better. Sims 4 on the otherhand... What am i even watching? Why are the Sims throwing their utensils around? Like I get that it makes it more fun to watch but I don't like how they're doing it with everything. Plus some downgrades we've seen are how they just dump the ingredients into the cutting board, how the saucepan automatically appears on the stove, and how the baking pan is already in the oven and they just dump it in there. Why is Sims 4 so obsessed with dumping things and why do ovens and dishwashers open automatically? Sims 2 > 3 > 1 >>> 4

Sims 3's scope was too Big for it's own good. So they scaled back the animation Details a bit

While Sims 4 definitely expanded the cooking, the simplification of the process with the teleporting utensils as well as over-the-top animations (the knife spinning, the bowl flipping) can get so annoying after a while.

[@Vashiane]

I always have a soft spot for Sims 3 cooking. It felt very realistic and I loved going to the grocery store and picking out ingredients and buying new recipes, or cooking a family member’s favorite for their birthday. It was the little things. The Sims 4 is weird. I love the new cultural dishes and the variety but it still feels weirdly shallow. I think it’s the ways skills themselves work and the fact that I can’t set any kind of favorite or preference without sacrificing one of the only three traits you get. I feel like I can take different approaches to cooking in TS3 but weirdly don’t feel like I have as much flexibility in TS4 despite all of the new options.

[@merchantfan]

Yeah I really want them to add food favorites as a favorite type. Having just one favorite was a bit weird in 3 (and you couldn't change it so a kid would have the same favorite their whole life) but it was still nice to have them recognize it and specifically get that bonus if you made it. Since there's so many foods maybe they can do do categories like they did with personality traits, like put everything that would have pork together so we can have halal or kosher sims. Also in 3 they were better at recognizing which foods were for what meal. Only the insane or childish sims would automatically eat cake for breakfast. Littlemisssam has a mod that improves it but it's annoying

[@keit99]

Didn't they add a like/dislike System now? Where you can choose stuff like music they like colours sim traits....

[@merchantfan]

@@keit99 Yes they did, so they just need to add it as a category. It's mostly pretty cool, they even have unique descriptions for the moodlets when someone likes or dislikes things. Right now we have color, decor, fashion, music, hobbies and skills, conversation topics and types of Sim (though we can't find those last two out for other sims yet)

They cut lots of corners and it shows, which knowing sims 4 was intended to be a mobile game makes even more sense now that there’s no in-depth animations. I’m sure the animators are good at what they do, but given the time constraints I imagine they had no choice but to cut said corners, yet with how much money this game has made EA, there’s no excuse for it really. I have major concerns for TS5 with all that in mind. Expect more corners to be cut. 😬

I never realized how ahead of its time The Sims 2 was. It came out in 2004, literally 20 years ago and its attention to detail and gameplay is what we SHOULD have in The Sims 4… It’s like the developers went backwards. The Sims 2 and 3 were definitely made with love, passion and dedication.

[@Kualinar]

The Sims laughing when cooking look so evil in The Sims3 and The Sims4...

[@stenkir6586]

I loved cooking in the Sims games! Well made video. All those shots must’ve taken a while to angle. Great work

[@tintaverse]

Thank you so much dear! It really was time consuming ❤️❤️❤️

[@amberlytheharpyqueen]

So many memories of hours upon hours playing all of these

[@elfa316]

the 4th one is just…so unrealistically extra😭

[@saykuoalien]

Will no one notice how cute Sim is waiting for food while looking at the microwave? I also looked in when I was a child when I came home from school.

[@madewhole-ev4uy]

i just switched to s3 and i love this videos because it so easy to learn features

[@enileeecram]

2:01 me asf waiting for my food to heat 😭

[@Ipitydafool2005]

My Sim in Sims 3 sang songs he learned while cooking. I liked that detail .

[@floopyboo]

Sims 4 seems like a steaming pile of wankery compared to each of the other iterations. So glad I never wasted my money there.

[@mindykanitz6255]

What's your next Sims comparison video going to cover? Baking? Barbecue grills? Birthday parties? Weddings?

[@dundee6402]

It's annoying how Sims 4 cooking is full of animation glitches that they never bother to fix, yet keep introducing new recipes...

[@mindykanitz6255]

I can hear a lot of "Ow"s and "Ouch"s in the first Sims game while the sim is cooking.

[@maxthechamp04]

In the Sims 2 sims 3 and sims 4 cooking animation is greatest cooking animation i ever seen same with the sims 1…to be fair all this games is greatest sims games of all time…also i gonna with sims 2 and 3 is winner

[@ViolaVecordia]

Surprisingly, but in only Sims 2, the sim uses the kitchen cabinet to get the dishes.

[@BeckyAnn6879]

Can we just talk about how GLITCHED the oven in Sims 4 was? No? Okay then...

[@BooDotBoo]

Watching videos from Sims 1, because I cannot for the life of me get it to work on my computer, makes me think about how simple the gameplay was, but it could still have me play an entire day if I had the day to spend on it. And I did, because I was a kid when it came out, lol.

[@gyppygirl2021]

I still find myself going back to it from time to time!

[@Snipeador]

It is the simplest of the saga, and at the same time the most challenging.

[@platterfoot]

I have to say. Watching sims cook in sims 4 while they have bad moodlets has to be the most entertaining crap fest I have ever seen. Shame it wasn’t showcased. For those that haven’t seen it before I encourage you to watch it.

[@TheBrideLumen]

Sims 4 is an enjoyable experience, however you can tell it's missing a lot of details that made The Sims 2 so special. If they combined some of the gameplay mechanics from S2 into S4, S4 would be an a truly enjoyable game.

[@OddSauce]

Sims 4's cooking animations really are a sad metaphor for the state of that game

[@heartroll8719]

Sims 2 had it all. Even the little screen stuff like the food steaming and being picked up instead of being teleported like in the Sims 4. So: Sims 2: Best Sims 3: Good Sims 4: lazy Sims 1: ok

[@winnie_shihtzu]

Even in cooking sims 4 is bugged😂😂

[@faffpopa6423]

The number of dishes in Sims 4 is overwhelming

[@antmanmoran101]

Wasn't the Slow Cooker introduced in the For Rent expansion? You seemed to think it was part of the Home Chef Hustle pack, judging by the text at 16:08 .

[@matthewphelan9288]

sims 4 is like “oooo imma spin the bowl while i stir

[@aeoligarlic4024]

They grab a serving without opening the lid. Can the sims 4 devs be ANY lazier than this!?

[@haris.saputra.]

I skipped from Sims 1 to Sims 3. I never know that Sims 2 could be so lively

[@100manuel]

For as much as I love Sims 4, sims 2 seems very much more detailed and well-developed than Sims 4.

[@parrot998]

It is. In almost every respect.

[@kawaii33366]

Bro the sims 1 person be actually killing themselves with how often they scream OUCH I wish I could run the sims 2 The sims 4 feels the most inclusive, but also the less like a life sim and more like a doll house.

[@barawen_who]

Getting the bread oven in The Sims was so so amazing for me, like the best thing ever

[@lounielouna7556]

I love how many items they added to the Sims 4! Tbh the food in the Sims 4 looks nasty tho. I think Sims 2 food looks the best though I've always wanted to try that spaghetti 😂😂

[@merchantfan]

The more recent food looks a lot better but yeah the food introduced in the base game is generally not great

[@Cateyez380]

I miss that food processor!

[@mintytrash]

Sims 2 just for the fact that your sim actually gets the utensils they need. It makes sense. Plus the microwave actually spins :]

[@tlt_parnas]

Sims 1 - больше резала себе пальцы, чем еду. Sims 2 - супер проработка Sims 3 - чуть лучше чем 2 часть, но торт подожгла не об жопу😂 Sims 4 - больше цирк, чем готовка (крутит, вертит) Спасибо за видео ❤

[@mobgamer6346]

Это точно 😂

[@kiki_davis]

you also forgot to mention the Cupcake machine, the ice cream and popcorn maker
