Is There A Point to Putting Harvestables in the Fridge?

IgneousGelding

My Sims always keep them in their inventories and they never lose their quality. Does putting them in the fridge really do anything?

Saves you money on ingredients for cooking foods.

I only do that when I am stocking another sim's fridge or a fridge on a community lot.

Any household member can then use them to cook a meal, not just the Sim with the harvestables in his/her inventory.

Not really.

It used to be that moving harvestables around (or traveling with them) would cause them to go up in value by a considerable amount. That was a Bug, alas, and was Squashed.

(Never again was there a story line such as The 500 Simoleon Potato. Evidently Windenburgians had never seen potatoes, nor tasted French Fries, Hash Browns, Mashed, Baked. It was like the Gold Rush Days, only Spuds were the treasure. Claims were Staked, Sims were robbed, Bordellos sprang up in the Potato Mining Town.)

The only reason I keep a few in the fridge is to keep my inventories a little less crowded. The fridge can get crowded, too, and there are a couple different designs of Storage Chests available in Buy Mode to alleviate that. Once you put one on a lot, tho, the second one will have the same inventory. I use them to store my Herbs for the Herbalist Skill to make the Potions included with Outdoor Retreat.

Oh, yeah, other Sims can use them, good tip, @Nik24X7

@ModerateOsprey Do they stay in the fridges of community lots, now? I could swear I tried this, but they were gone the next time I came.

No, being the short answer.



The long answer being plum no.

Unless you prefer your produce chilled for some reason.

Yes. In addition to the fact that keeping them out of inventory helps with lag, It's also quite convenient when rotating crops...otherwise you would have to dump everything on the floor.

What I do is sell everything in the fridge after every harvest and replace them with the new harvest.
This way I always have the highest quality produce on hand in the fridge.

I didn't know about that lag issue. Thanks.

Lmao, thanks guys. Yeah, my Sim's inventories are pretty stocked.

@Nik24X7 That's a good point. I need to start storing produce; my Sims family is completely broke.
