Forum:Cuisine Hobbyists and Aspirations

So I've come upon the bright idea to make the ultimate Simmy foodie: University graduate, Neat and Lazy (so the Sim will probably get Cuisine as their One True Hobby), plus Pleasure and Grilled Cheese for their Aspirations. Unless I switch things around once the Sim reaches their Junior year in college (or unless I have the Sim deliberately flub the use of a ReNuYuSenso Orb, if I'm feeling impatient), then Pleasure will probably be the primary Aspiration and Grilled Cheese will be secondary. The Sim writes a Restaurant Guide, and Cuisine enthusiasm goes up. The Sim cooks, serves, conjures, licks, breathes on or does anything to do with grilled cheese sandwiches, and Cuisine enthusiasm goes up. The Sim eats anything (grilled cheese sandwiches or otherwise), and Cuisine enthusiasm goes up. But all of this means a lot of eating, and both Grilled Cheese's Bottomless Stomach benefit and Pleasure's Fast Metabolism benefit together will mean far fewer trips to the treadmill in order to keep the Sim fit, assuming that the two benefits do indeed stack together. (Or is Simmy obesity really not such a bad thing?)

But now that I think about it, would it be better to whip out the ReNuYu doodad as soon as I can and make Grilled Cheese the primary Aspiration for this Sim? Each Sim gets all four benefits from their primary Aspiration, but they can never get the fourth benefit from their secondary. And if I'm trying to keep Cookie Chef the Simmy gourmet chef happy, healthy and enthusiastic as all get-out about food, wouldn't Grilled Cheese 4 (Conjure Grilled Cheese) be considerably more useful than Pleasure 4 (Rowdy Folk Song)? Or am I overlooking something here? BloodyBay from YouTube (talk) 11:35, May 7, 2018 (UTC)
