A new Sims 4 pack is out now, and it brings some extensive changes to how cooking works in the life-sim game, including the option to set up your own food street stall. The Home Chef Hustle stuff pack adds new appliances, clothes, and cupcake cooking options, along with better filters to find your recipes more easily, the latter of which is also included in a free base game update.
There’s a bunch of new pizza recipes inspired by Italian favorites, some extra bread recipes, a waffle maker, and new cooking skills, but the change I’m most interested in is what you can do with all this. The Home Chef pack lets you set up a food stall on any lot and sell your creations to neighbors and strangers, so you improve your relationships and get paid for it. It’s a win-win.
You don’t even have to load your pockets with dishes before heading out. Some of the new appliances – the countertop pizza oven and waffle maker, for example – make it easy to cook what you need on site.
Cooking always felt like a chore to me before, an unfortunate necessity that I’d spend the least amount of time and money on, thanks in no small part to the nightmare of actually finding the recipe you wanted. Shaking up the available dishes, adding new filters, and letting you easily earn money from it makes taking that time out in the kitchen a bit more appealing. Maybe now, my Sim can eat something other then scrambled eggs for every meal.
Speaking of variation, the Home Chef pack adds new clothing and kitchen-appropriate hairstyles to pick from as well.
The Home Chef Hustle stuff pack is out now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC for $9.99.
