How do I check for/get more food?
Question
How do I check to see how much food my Sims have left? And once I know, how do I get more food?
Answer
You can check how much food is left in the fridge by clicking on the fridge and choosing ´Check Food Supplies´.
There are 3 ways to get more food.
To order food over the phone:
With a Sim selected, left-click on a phone and choose ´Call...´ and then ´Delivery´.
When the ´Delivery Phonebook´ appears, choose ´Groceries´ and click on the check mark button at the bottom.
Click the up arrow next to the picture of the refridgerator until the bar is filled or your total cost is the amount you are willing to spend, then click on the check mark button.
When the delivery person arrives, click on them and choose ´Accept Delivery´.
Your Sim will then add the food to the refridgerator.
To order more food using a computer:
With a Sim selected, left-click on a computer and choose ´Order Groceries´.
Click the up arrow next to the picture of the refridgerator until the bar is filled or your total cost is the amount you are willing to spend, then click on the check mark button.
When the delivery person arrives, click on them and choose ´Accept Delivery´.
Your Sim will then add the food to the refridgerator.
To go shopping for more food:
Click on the phone and choose ´Call´ and then ´Transportation´.
When the ´Transportation Phonebook´ appears, choose ´Taxi´ and click on the check mark button.
When prompted choose the name of the Sim who is going or choose ´Multiple Sims´ to allow multiple family members to go on the trip.
When the taxi arrives, it will ask if you are sure if you want to leave the lot. Choose ´Yes´.
You will be prompted to pick a community lot to visit. Community lots are outlined in blue. Click on one that sells groceries and then click the ´Enter Lot´ button.
Once in the lot, click on any of the grocery stands and choose ´Buy´.
Click the up arrow next to the picture of the refrigerator until the bar is filled or your total cost is the amount you are willing to spend, then click on the check mark button.
When you return home, your Sim will automatically add the groceries to the refrigerator.
There is no delivery charge if you have Sims go shopping themselves
