The honor of being a household name isn’t what it used to be. But you know what’ll never have that problem?
McDonald’s.
There aren’t many things that are as universally known as this place and its menu. As far as the food chain goes, McDonald’s is at the top.
Get it, ‘cause they’re a chain restaurant? Well I better just leave the clever one-liners to whoever does the descriptions for build/buy objects in this game… My powers just aren’t that honed.
The point is, statistically speaking, most of the world at least knows about McDonald’s.
And it’s high time such a legendary thing comes to a life simulator.
Because really, what’s life without Big Macs and those delicious fries that can’t be found anywhere else?
Sad.
And a Sim’s life is already sad enough.
But this list is here to help! Now you’ll be able to incorporate McDonald’s into your game with this custom fan-made content.
But you definitely know this one when you see it, since it’s heavily focused on the working world, which is exactly why it came with the Get To Work expansion pack.
Well, a McDonald’s restaurant fits right into that theme, right?
This simple lot is perfect for the small, cozy community.
The exterior is very accurate to the real thing, and the decorative McDonald’s lights, décor, and furniture inside really brings the whole look together.
Oh, and there’s a drive thru!
Just because Sims still don’t have cars doesn’t mean they can’t utilize the convenience of not having to actually step foot inside an establishment.
No decade has experienced quite a resurgence like the ‘80s.
Kids and young adults today eat up just about everything from the era, including the trends of clothes and hair, as well as the general aesthetics.
1980s stuff is generally quite recognizable too.
The color schemes and décor are a lot different than what you see today, but in a rather muted way.
Things were either very bright and bold back then, or neutral, and most public establishments opted for the latter.
As you’d expect, a building from back then should look dated to the modern eye, and this creator accomplished that beautifully here.
They’ve illustrated the simplicity of old school McDonald’s, with a small restaurant, no drive thru, and a generally laidback interior.
You’ll need several packs in order for this to work: including Dine Out, Get To Work, City Living, and a few stuff packs (check the description for full install details).
Sometimes in The Sims 4, official objects will do the best when you want functionality. But that doesn’t mean they can’t be reworked through a player’s eyes!
The products offered under the McCafe title are just as treasured by the public as the rest of their menu.
Gourmet coffees and delicious smoothies all fall under that umbrella term, but are still offered at fast food prices.
That’s a pretty good arrangement for the company and customers alike.
Everyone loves Starbucks, and for good reason, but there’s no question that indulging in their menu can break the bank.
At McDonald’s, you can get yourself a well-deserved treat without the guilt or mentally calculating the costs versus your budget.
Besides, they have so many great things that you can mix and match for tasty, convenient meals. Iced coffee goes with everything, but cold mornings are always better with a McDonald’s hot chocolate, too.
And I do mean HOT chocolate.
The fun thing about getting one of those on a road trip is that by the time it’s a reasonable temperature to go in your mouth, you’re probably at your destination. But it sure is tasty.
Well now your Sims can know all of the intricate joys of McCafe products, too. Kind of.
This object requires University Life and is a simple recolor of the included coffee stand.
But ArLi1211 did a fantastic job because this looks exactly how I imagine a real McCafe stand would be. It’s complete with the iconic logo, font, and menus.
As cool as it is to have entire lots and functional McDonald’s stuff in your game, a few smaller deco pieces may come in handy as well.
If you’re someone who likes to use clutter to make your Sim’s home look more realistic, or if you use poses and strive for a natural vibe, then food is a great tool.
Instead of going through all the effort of actually having a Sim cook or hiring a caterer, why not just use some CC for some of the most widely consumed meals ever?
Just in America, 9 in 10 people eat it at least once a year.
So even if you’re a player from elsewhere, setting out some fries and cheeseburgers will give your game an authentic edge.
This particular CC set includes the boxes the food comes in, as well as trays, and they’ll blend into any scene you set.
