Culinary Career
Anyone can make dinner or mix a drink at home. The Culinary career is for those who want to take it to another level and make money doing it.
The Culinary Career in The Sims 4 is all about food and drinks! Train your Cooking Skill as well as your Mixology Skill in the beginning, you can drop one of these when you can choose your Branch. This career will give you some really useful cooking appliances in a modern professional design. The rewards of this career are my personal favorites.
When you reach level 6 in the Culinary Career you will be able to choose the path of the food (Chef Branch) or the path of the drinks (Mixologist Branch). The Chef Branch will earn you more money but in the Mixology Branch you only have to work 3 days a week.
Daily Task: Prepare Food/Mix Drinks
You will have to prepare food to complete this daily task, it doesn’t matter what you cook. It usually takes 3 dishes to complete.
Your second option of the daily task is to mix drinks, you will need to have a bar for this. You only have to create around 2 drinks.
Ideal Emotion: Inspired
Take a thoughtful shower before going to your job. The Umber Kitchen Sink has an Inspired emotional aura when put on. This sink will unlock on level 4 of your Culinary Career. You will have to place two of these to benefit from it in the kitchen but it won’t have any effect when you leave for work but it will benefit to level your cooking a bit faster.
