Terry Jin

Probably not a good idea to put that in actually haah

Terry Jin

Terry Jin

Mhmmm, these do already exist but gameplay relevance will be added in the upcoming months

I'm a big fan of burritos myself I lived off them during my younger years haha

Terry Jin

Something that I will definitely look into for sure ~

Korean food! Also I was wondering if there would be a way to set comfort food? Obviously different foods comfort us all :3

Mexican food! Mexican food is amazing. :)

I'd also like to see some traits or options about preferred drinks. For example, peeps could want to be teetotalers, juicers, wine connoisseurs? Etc.

Considering how much controversy and strong feeling there is around food/diet, it would be tricky to set those tags without offending someone, especially if they aren't editable. And as Alicia said, a big part of recovering from disordered eating involves rethinking our assumptions about food, especially our judgments about "good" and "bad" foods. While this might not be a big issue for you, it is for many people. So the idea of "healthy" food isn't as simple as it appears.

I like the idea of encouraging a variety of different foods, as long as it doesn't require your person to eat specific foods or food groups to get that buff. It is boring when I watch someone play that other game and they just make the same food over and over.

I feel fine about leaving "healthy" and "junk" in, but I think (and I got the idea that this is what you're planning anyway) they should only be used on the more clear-cut/extreme cases of health and junk. I'm not sure what wholesome foods even are? Also I would also love to see vegan/vegetarian tags. I think they would be pretty important to a lot of people's immersion. The cuisines listed are all good but what I would really love to see is Indian food!

I disagree with the junk/wholesome/healthy comments. These tags won't go on things that could be debated on, and are pretty universal. Cheesy puffs are an obvious junk food. Fresh fruits and veggies are obviously healthy and can be tagged either healthy or/and wholesome.

Agree with others who have suggested tags based on dietary preference, especially when that's something you can set whilst building a sim: vegetarian/ vegan/ pescatarian/ omnivore etc.

Decided should just make it my own comment. I completely agree with the healthy/wholesome thing. I actually would prefer this tag to not even exist, That along with junk. I completely agree with different foods giving different effects. However having healthy/wholesome/junk words used is complete diet culture words and is not healthy for those with/recovering from disordered eating such as myself.

I would like Nigerian food 😗

Maybe we could have a negative mood for our character if we always eat the same thing? It would force players to do more than just spam eat boiled eggs for example

I would love for vegan, vegetarian and pesquetarian tags!

Thinking about this some more, I think you should avoid subjective tags like healthy/wholesome since there are widely varying opinions about what that is. For example, some people would say that a simple custard is extremely healthy, while others would consider it the devil's own food. People have strong opinions about this and speaking for myself it would be very annoying and immersion-breaking if the game tells me a certain food is wholesome and I disagree with that. One way to deal with this though is to make those tags editable, or allow people to assign their own "healthy" and "wholesome" foods. You could also have a vegetarian tab/lifestyle, although that isn't a substitute for vegan.

I would like to have a vegan tag and be able to make that a lifestyle choice so that my peeps don't eat food that isn't vegan (unless I make them do it).

My rating for this is codfish/custard tart, no Portuguese food as option :/ Also for the buffs and stuff: condiments could add different effects too if you add them to certain meals, for example, adding sugar would give you an extra 5% energy need, or putting ketchup on your fries would give you a happiness boost for a while!

I think the system you've already worked out or thought about is perfect and complex enough. 🙂 I love everything you've explained about it! 🙂 I'd love to see Sushi/Asian food and Italian most and dining in restaurants such as takeaway food/bakery?! (fast food on the way to work for example) too. Very curious about a healthcare system and hospital etc. in the future. 🙂 Keep up the fantastic work! 🙂

Please don’t put shark fin soup in the game!!
