The Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack introduced several new gameplay elements to The Sims 4. Thanks to the pack, gamers can make recipes with the pizza oven and the waffle maker. Given that there are all sorts of dishes in the game now, it also gave Simmers the ability to host their own food sales.

Players can bake all sorts of cupcakes in The Sims 4 - here's how to do it.

If a sale is successful enough, gamers will run out of food before it's over, so it's important to understand how to restock the food stand so the customers can continue buying delicious goods. This guide will explain how Sims 4 players can put food on the table before the sale and how they can continue to restock it while the event is active.

How to Stock a Food Stand

Players won't be able to start a food sale unless they've stocked their Anywhere Any Fare Food Stand. Preparation is crucial for gamers who want to have a successful food sale in The Sims 4. Players need to have their Sims cook a few food items so that they can stock the food stand.

To stock a food stand before a sale, players must click on the table and then select the Open option to get access to the stand's inventory. Players have to drag any food item that they're willing to sell onto the food stand's inventory; these items will automatically be put up for sale unless there are too many dishes and the table doesn't have enough space.

How to Restock a Food Stand

Gamers can restock a food stand as long as there is space or if any of the items being sold were purchased and freed up space. There are two options when it comes to restocking food stands: gamers can either enable or disable the AutoStock feature.

The AutoStock feature makes it so the food stand automatically fills up any free space with the food in the stand's inventory; this way, Simmers won't have to worry about running out of food. Players can disable this feature and restock it themselves by using the Stock Table option.

As the sale goes on, gamers can add more items to the food stand's inventory to progressively restock it. There are even two small counters on each side of the stand where players can put their portable kitchen appliances, allowing them to continuously sell more food.

The Sims 4 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
