Vegetarian (The Sims 3)

For the trait in The Sims 4, see Vegetarian (The Sims 4).

Vegetarian is a lifestyle trait available in The Sims 3. It is first available from children.

Vegetarian Sims never choose to eat meat, and doing so causes them to quickly become ill.

Attributes

• Vegetarians live longer than other Sims.^{[confirmation needed]} However, they don't seem to have longer Young Adult or Adult spans than non-vegetarians, likely meaning that the bonus only applies to the Elder stage.
• Vegetarians get disgusted and nauseous from eating meat.
• Vegetarians prefer to watch the gardening channel on the television.

Special Interactions

• Vegetarians will learn to prepare vegetarian alternatives dishes when practicing the cooking skill. Originally, only vegetarians can prepare vegetarian dishes from the fridge. Since Patch 42, all Sims are able to learn the vegetarian variations of the recipes containing meat.
• Vegetarians can "Complain About Meat".
• Other Sims can "Applaud Vegetarianism" towards vegetarians as a friendly interaction. They can also "Mock Vegetarianism" as a mean interaction.

Player Notes

• A household with at least one member with the vegetarian trait can prepare vegetarian cuisine.
• Vegetarian vampires must consume plasma fruit or plasma juice from the fridge. Drinking from other Sims will make them nauseous.
• Flies hovering over spoiled meals or beehives are not treated as meat if eaten by Toadified Sims.
• Vegetarians don't have problems eating ingredients such as eggs and cheese, as these are not forms of meat.
• This trait does not conflict with the angler trait, even though Vegetarians become nauseous from eating fish.
• The "Simmunity" lifetime reward makes vegetarians immune from being sick by eating meat. However, vegetarians will still get the "Disgusted" moodlet.
• Here is a list of vegetarian alternative dishes which are fine for vegetarians to eat:
