I finally took the time to read up on Sims 4 Scenarios and give them a try. Scenarios seem like a fun summer project, and I am all about fun summer projects this year.
I started with the Cook Out Scenario, which is:
- Limited-time, only available June 23, 2022 to September 7, 2022.
- Rated “Easy.”
- Compatible with an existing household on an existing save.
Sounds perfect. Let’s go!
The first two checklist items are “buy a grill” and “buy an optional outdoor item (bar, stereo, or Got Game table).” You would think this would be easy, but I spent an entire hour rearranging their front patio just so.

The next checklist item is to catch a fish. This proved to be harder than I expected, because I could not find a “Go Fishing” sign anywhere in the world for the life of me. After sending Audrey and Peppino to three different worlds, I finally remembered a fishing spot in Willow Creek.

Audrey caught the first fish. Congrats! Let’s go.

They got home and fell asleep just as the Grim Reaper arrived to take Brown Hen. RIP!

Next step: Make “Excellent” quality BBQ ribs plate on the grill. Audrey already has a Cooking skill of 6, so hopefully this won’t be too hard?
