Sims 4: How to buy groceries

Numerous fans of the PC game Sims 4 keep asking themselves whether and how food can be bought in the game. In this practical tip we will show you what you need for it.

Buy Sims 4 groceries: only with mod

• In contrast to Sims 3, there are no longer any grocery stores in Sims 4.
• If you want to fill the fridge with fresh food, you must either grow it yourself in the garden or harvest it in the neighborhood.
• Your Sim can also cook without fresh food: if you want to prepare a dish, it is also possible when your fridge is empty. However, you need a free worktop to do this, otherwise your Sim will have no way of preparing the food.
• If, despite everything, you don't want to do without buying groceries, there is a mod for this - but this is not official.
• To do this, you first need the extensions "The Sims 4: Get to work!" and "The Sims 4: Outdoor Life".
• Then download the The Sims 4 Grocery Store Mod and unzip the ZIP file in your Mods folder. You can already build a grocery store and buy groceries. However, this mod is not an official extension of Electronic Arts.
