Cooking for the whole family at once

[Kosigor]

Can we add the ability for one ZOI to cook for the whole family at once or by selecting the number of servings with a meal?

Можно добавить возможность одному ЗОИ готовить на всю семью сразу или по выбору количества порций с едой?

I agree! I just wrote my review for the game and tried to include all the negatives I noticed while playing, but I forgot this one, such an important detail. It shouldn't be too hard to add this a little later on, though, probably in a month or so it'll be in the game.

Yeah, the missing group meals are a huge oversight imho.

Yes. It's also good to add a choice of number of plates to cook on as well.

Yes i support this !
Please allow them to cook food for their guests /family and if there is any leftovers they should be able to store it in the fridge.

Yes, this is definitely required, along with the ability to put leftovers in the fridge - or at least in your bag, so they don't get wasted. Unless we could choose the exact amount of portions needed. Though being able to make 4 then store some is useful for single Zoi's, the rate hunger falls at...

Yes to be able to select how many meals to cook at once. Very useful to be able to able to cook correct amounts and I'd love to be able to store leftovers in the fridge

hold off until they fix the whole cooking/eating thing properly. or else the first group meal you cook will be all thrown away after the first guy finishes eating and cleans up EVERYTHING on the table.

There are exactly 3 group meals in the game - pizza, steak and fried chicken.

Zois automatically clean up the leftovers and there are 4 portions, so if you have a 4 person family, you can cook for all of them at once. Otherwise you'll be wasting some food.

Literally the missing thing that bothers me the most overall! It's so needed and I feel like it wouldn't take much coding to make that adjustment!

That would be awesome. let me make pancakes for all my kids at once.
I know there are groups of food with more servings (ie: Pizza) but it would be nice to have option for big meals.

So... that's what was happening. Alright. I know we had a patch recently but haven't had the time to play too much... yet.

I make mine cook one of the group meals then take a portion each , If hungry they eat it then if not they put it in their bags for later . I would much rather they didn't clean up and throw away good portions of food and have the ability to put it in the fridge instead , And also have the choice of say making 1 . 2 . 4 or 8 servings of every dish

Yes, this should have been implemented weeks ago when EA started. I also like to call everybody for dinner, preferably at the same table. We need a true family vibe, and currently I am not feeling that.

[cmclamhk]

Agree 100%. So far, I only see Pizza have 4 servings. But after a Zois finished a portion and clean the dishes, he cleared the remaining food. I'm speechless. What a waste!

Zois should also start to automatically talk to other zois at the table similar to how it was done in sims 2, the fact that they just sit together in silence ruins my immersion the most.
