As The Sims 4 goes on, it seems like more dishes for your Sims to cook up are added all the time. Delicious desserts, yummy soups, and more are at your disposal to keep your Sims fed and happy. However, one dish stands out from the rest due to its special ability. This remarkable meal can bring any deceased Sim back to life. If you need help making it, we’re here to show you all the ingredients to whip it up and how to level up the necessary skills!
Essential Ingredients for Ambrosia in The Sims 4
To create Ambrosia, you'll need to gather three specific ingredients and reach level ten in both the cooking and gourmet cooking skills. This preparation not only requires skill but also some gardening and fishing expertise. The ingredients are:
- Death Flower
- Potion of Youth
- Angelfish
Once you have all three ingredients and have achieved the maximum skill levels in both cooking and gourmet cooking, you can find Ambrosia available to cook in any fridge or stove. If you haven’t reached the necessary skill levels, the recipe will not appear at all when you attempt to cook.
How to Obtain the Death Flower
The Death Flower can be crafted through grafting an Orchid and a Pomegranate together. To unlock grafting, you'll need to be at least level five in the gardening skill, so make sure to work on that first!
You can create Orchids by grafting a Lily and a Snapdragon, while Pomegranates come from grafting an Apple with a Cherry. After you’ve cultivated cuttings of the Orchid and Pomegranate, graft them together and you’ll receive a Death Flower to use in your cooking!
Acquiring the Potion of Youth
The Potion of Youth is another crucial ingredient you can purchase as a Satisfaction Reward in the store. It costs around 1,500 Satisfaction Points, which you can acquire by completing your Sims' whims and aspirations.
It’s actually quite easy to rack up those points! Most whims are straightforward, and you’ll likely earn enough points just by keeping your Sims happy while collecting the other needed ingredients.
Catching Angelfish
Angelfish are essential too! You can catch them in any body of water, provided you’ve reached level three in the fishing skill. Without that skill at the correct level, catching them will be impossible.
If you need tips on catching Angelfish, there are various guides available to assist you within The Sims 4 community!
Leveling Up Cooking and Gourmet Cooking Skills Efficiently
One of the biggest challenges in preparing Ambrosia is reaching the required skill levels in cooking and gourmet cooking. To expedite this process, cook meals and snacks regularly in your kitchen. The more you practice, the faster you'll level up!
Your Sim needs to achieve level five in cooking to unlock gourmet cooking. From there, you can prepare gourmet dishes at any stove or fridge. A good tip is to cook every meal your Sim eats; this will help level it up quicker!
Using Skill Books
In your Sim's spare time, consider purchasing skill books for both cooking and gourmet cooking. These skill books allow your Sim to gain experience even when they’re not hungry! Just search for skill books on any bookshelf, and you’ll find them available in three volumes each.
Once your Sim reaches level ten in both skills, Ambrosia will be available to cook for free, as long as you have the necessary ingredients!
Reviving Your Sims with Ambrosia
Ambrosia can be consumed like any other food, but its true power lies in its ability to bring a Sim back to life! To do this, simply have a deceased Sim's ghost eat the dish, and they will be revived as if nothing had happened.
Additionally, if you own the Cats & Dogs or Horse Ranch expansion packs, you can use Ambrosia to revive your beloved pets. Place a dish of it on the floor, and any ghost pet that eats it will come back to life. You can even create it as a special treat for horses or other pets!
Storing Ambrosia for Future Use
Ambrosia can also be stored in the fridge like any regular dish. This is an excellent strategy if you wish to keep your Sims immortal or if they happen to die unexpectedly!
Exploring Alternative Methods to Obtain Ambrosia
While it does take considerable effort to prepare Ambrosia, it's one of the most valuable resources in The Sims 4. However, if you’re looking for a quicker fix, you can always cheat! Simply search for Ambrosia in the gallery to find tons of premade rooms containing the dish. You can place it down and use it to your heart's content!
By mastering the art of cooking and gathering the right ingredients, you can unlock one of the most powerful meals in the game, ensuring your Sims can live forever!
