After the success of the first few Scenarios, The Sims 4 released many more new and exciting ones, including the Unlucky Chef. Most Scenarios require one Young Adult to start the challenge, and Unlucky Chef is no different. This Scenario has two outcomes, depending on the players' choices.
From the Scenario’s name, it should be fairly obvious that the challenge will revolve around cooking, mixology, and the Culinary career in general. Once The Sims 4 players achieve one of the two endings, they will receive 5,000 Satisfaction Points.
How To Complete The Unlucky Chef Scenario In The Sims 4
As mentioned above, players will need one Sim who is a Young Adult or older to start the Scenario. The gender doesn’t matter as long as they meet the requirements. As for Traits, the Foodie Trait can make this The Sims 4 challenge easier. Additionally, choosing the Master Chef or Master Mixologist Aspiration rewards Simmers with the Essence of Flavor Bonus Trait.
There are two outcomes for this Sims 4 Scenario:
- The Sim becomes a Celebrity Chef, despite the danger
- The Sim becomes a Celebrity Mixologist, a safer choice
Players should note that the first ending is more dangerous than the second, as the Sim is more prone to cause fire hazards. This means that every time a Sim uses the stove to cook, there’s a 75% chance that the stove will burst into flames, burning the Sim as well. On the other hand, the mixologist option is safer because it doesn’t require heat.
Once players have picked an appropriate house to live in, they’ll need to use a phone or a computer to enter the Culinary career in The Sims 4. The first five levels are the same for both chefs and mixologists. Simmers need to mix drinks or prepare food as a Daily Task, while the Promotional Tasks include leveling up both Cooking and Mixology skills.
When players reach level six, Culinary will split into two branches; Chef and Mixologist. Depending on what the players choose, they’ll get different Daily and Promotional Tasks, providing them with the opportunity to decide between endings.
Celebrity Chef
After selecting the Chef branch, players need to become a Celebrity Chef to complete this Scenario in The Sims 4. This is the last rank in the Culinary career within the Chef branch. The Daily Tasks would be to Prepare Food, while the Promotional Tasks are to level up the Cooking and Gourmet Cooking skills.
To make this Scenario easier, here are a couple of tips to complete this Sims 4 challenge in a safer method:
- Always save the game before cooking anything on the stove. If the Sim dies, go to Main Menu and recover the last save to start from the last checkpoint.
- Don’t waste money on expensive stoves, as all of them yield the same result and will cause a fire hazard.
- Don’t cook anything that requires heat. Simmers can choose the easy way and make their Sim prepare salads, sushi, or anything else that only requires a countertop.
Celebrity Mixologist
Once players select the Mixologist branch, they’ll have to focus on the Mixology and Charisma skills to get promoted. The Daily Task is to Mix Drinks before going to work. Like the Celebrity Chef, the Celebrity Mixologist is the last rank within the Mixology branch.
The Sims 4 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
