Did I break it? How do I enter a stupid cooking contest?
SaraMK:
A lot of my sims want to enter one. I put the cooking contest table on a community lots and had my sims cook some food and stuff it in their inventory. I visited the lot, but the table had no options at all. The judge was there, pacing back and forth, but she also had no options.
???
dragoness:
The only way I've ever been able to do it is to go to the cuisine hobby lot. On the fridges in the kitchens there it gives the option "cook for contest." Cook your whatever, and the contest automatically starts.
Maybe either a) only the hobby lot can have contests, and/or b) you have to cook the food for the contest on the lot, so there's nothing for you because there's no kitchen where you've placed the contest table? If there is a kitchen on-lot, try checking the kitchen's options.
All I know to suggest I'm afraid. :(
SaraMK:
D'oh, I figured it out.
EAxis was just purposely unhelpful in the want tooltip.
You have to cook a GROUP MEAL using the Make Many option, which puts food in your inventory without having to grab it off a counter. Then when you go to a lot with the contest table you can enter your food.
Would it really have been that hard to put this little bit of info into the damn tooltip? There isn't a word in there about the size of the meal or how to make it! It just says cook food and go to a lot with a contest table.
tunaisafish:
You don't need the 'make many' option, I think that's intended for when you want your sims to make multiple meals to sell.
As moonDragoness says, at the cuisine hobbylot you get the extra option to 'cook for contest', which I think adds no more functionality than a normal 'make' option.
They both put the food into your inventory.
First time I tried this my sim burnt the lobster, so I got her to try again and made ribs on the bbq.
When you click the contest table it gives you the choice to pick a meal from whatever is in the inventory.
Then magically another 3 sims, including the hobby maven, pull food from their butts to go against you in the contest.
I thought the ribs had no chance of winning against 2 other perfect lobsters and a salad, but they did!
Not sure if you can have contests on an community lot, as the food-judge NPC is needed too
SaraMK:
Any community lot works. My sim won with a salad against pancakes, toaster pastries, and something unidentifiable.
I like how you can eat any of the food after the contest, like it's a buffet.
