Food Stalls Specific to Festivals

The festivals in Sims 4 City Living are basically in-game events. The events happen around different parts of San Myshuno for two weeks. The bulletin board in the apartments will help your Sim to know about the upcoming festivals and activities. 

Also, the dynamic signs throughout San Myshuno will give all related information on the festivals. The beginning and ending of festivals will be announced via the notification. 

After a festival ends, the festival objects will disappear and be replaced by the usual street items. Importantly, the Sims 4 City Living has a special feature where you will notice some food stalls for the festivals only.

Humor and Hijinks Festival

Why Are Festivals Crucial in Sims 4?

In the City Living pack, the festivals benefit the Simmers to socialize and make friends with other individuals. The festival events invite Sims to interact with other Simmers, roam around the San Myshuno, learn different recipes, and win prizes sometimes. Festivals are a fun way to earn exclusive rewards and learn new stuff easily. 

However, if any Sim is living outside the districts where the festival will take place, then they will be notified. If you want to spend something out of the box besides the hectic Sims 4 usual schedule, festivals will help you to freshen up your life and mood.

Describing All About Pufferfish Nigiri Dish 

In the Sims 4: City Living, Simmers will learn about the Pufferfish Nigiri. The Japanese dish is dangerous in real life and Sims 4, as mishandling can cause the consumer's death. 

You can get the Pufferfish Nigiri by visiting the Japanese Food Stall. Be careful because of the stall rotation, and try to find the stall religiously in the Fashion District. 

If you can’t find the vendor at the stall, you can hire someone else with 100 Simoleons. You can purchase the food and produce stalls from the Build & Buy mode. 

How to Cook the Pufferfish Nigiri in Sims 4? 

After you order the fish for 50 Simoleons from the Japanese stall, you will get its recipe from the hidden recipe collection. You can find the recipe under the Seafood which will cost around 10 Simoleons for single-serving. 

The family-sized serving will take around 38 Simoleons, whereas 55 Simoleons are required for the party-sized dish. After you have all the essential ingredients, click on the refrigerator or stove and pick the 'Cook..' option to cook the Pufferfish Nigiri. 

Where to Find the Pufferfish Nigiri in Sims 4? 

Cooking Pufferfish Nigiri is a challenging task requiring proper handling and excellent cooking skills. If your Sim delivers a poor-quality dish, it can take the life of the innocent. You can get the Pufferfish at the fishing area at the San Myshuno docks. 

You will get discounted prices if you catch the fish, hold it in their Inventory, and use fresh items. 

How Consuming Pufferfish Nigiri Can Cause Death?

Pufferfish Nigiri is a tasty dish that you will enjoy consuming. However, the unskilled Simmers may result in cooking a poor-quality meal. Usually, the properly cooked meal will look bright, but the degraded dish will look moldy and brown. 

Simmers consuming the poor-quality dish will have a 50% death chance. The death probability increases more if Summer is in an uncomfortable mood. 

If, by chance, any Simmer survives even after eating the bad quality Pufferfish, then they will get the boosted Confident moodlet. If a Simmer dies of eating Pufferfish, they will appear in the world with the fish floating inside their chest region.

All Spices of the Spice Festival 

The Spice Festival is very unique allowing Simmers to buy spices for making dishes. Interestingly, this event features four spices you can purchase from the vendors. 

  • Wasabi
  • Curry
  • Chilli Powder
  • Saffron
SpicesCost Description  
Wasabi10 SimoleonsIt is a green root that originated from the mountain streams. Many think this spice is a burning paste, but it is a blend of horseradish, green coloring, and mustard. 
Curry 15 SimoleonsOne of the most common and cheapest spices is the Curry as it is used in different common dishes. It has the great ability to transform food color. However, Curry is similar to Saffron, but they should be used separately and respectively upon requirement.   
Chilli Powder5 SimoleonsThis spice is a blend of jalapeno and habanero chilies. It is ideal for cooking salsa, soup, rub, or sauce. 
Saffron 25 SimoleonsIt derives from the dried stigmas, taking around 225,000 hand-picked stigmas or 75,000 blossoms to prepare a single pound. The special and massive amounts of ingredients make this spice costly. 

Using Spices in Sims 4 requires you to have good Cooking skills. You should use the species carefully in certain dishes that you can learn by participating in the Spice Festival. 

Before you cook a dish using those spices, you need to taste that dish from the festivals. In addition, you will get its recipe as soon as you eat a dish. Afterward, you can cook the dish after getting all the necessary ingredients ready. 

The spices reduce the total cost of a recipe. 

There are a total of 27 dishes that you will notice from the food stalls of the San Myshuno, but not all spices as their ingredients.

What is Spice Tolerance in Sims 4? 

Initially, your Sim might feel uncomfortable when consuming spicy food. If you want your Sim to tolerate the spice, you must eat as many spicy foods for the Spice Hound trait. 

Generally, you will have to consume Spicy Food five times to obtain this trait, increasing your tolerance ability. After getting the trait, your Sim will no longer feel uncomfortable when consuming any spicy food. Continue to eat spicy foods will give you a Happy Buff.
