I can only make gelatin - How do you get additional desserts in the Sims 2?

You can't directly get new desserts in The Sims 2 just by making gelatin. Here's how to expand your Sims' dessert options:

1. Upgrade Cooking Skills:

* Level 1: Unlock basic recipes, like "Simple Dessert"

* Level 3: Unlock "Fruit Salad"

* Level 5: Unlock "Chocolate Cake"

* Level 7: Unlock "Cookies"

* Level 9: Unlock "Brownies"

* Level 10: Unlock "Ice Cream"

2. Use the "Gourmet Chef" Career:

* This career path gives you access to new and special recipes, including more desserts.

3. Install Custom Content (CC):

* Download recipes: Search online for "Sims 2 custom content desserts." You'll find many custom-made recipes that add new dessert options.

4. Use "Free Time" Expansion Pack:

* This pack introduces "Hobby" skills. Your Sims can learn to bake, opening up even more dessert possibilities.

5. Buy a "Baking Station" and "Refrigerator" for Better Cooking:

* A baking station is essential for more complex recipes. A refrigerator keeps your ingredients fresh.

Remember:

* The Sims 2 has a limited dessert selection compared to later games.

* CC can be risky. Make sure to download from reputable sources.

Enjoy your Sims' delicious treats!
