How to unlock the Connoisseurus Rex achievement in The Sims 4 - Definitive Guide

There are 10 levels in this skill. The Gourmet cooking skill is similar to the cooking skill but you make facincer food this time. In order to make the food, your normal cooking skill needs to be level 5. Or you could read the gourmet cooking skill books but I believe you won't be able to make any of the food. Just like the normal cooking skill, the lot trait Homey gives your sim a +50% skill gain increase.

To start you need to get an over, fridge, and a counter or just buy the gourmet cooking skill books from a bookshelf.

I found this easy to get along with the normal cooking skill. I had my sim just join the chef career and work their way up to the top. You won't get any extra skill gain for this while watching tv, so the best way is to bake your way to the top.

I am not sure what to tell you FortiesNBlunts, some of the achievements are just not working for everyone. When I got this, I only had two sims in the house, the founder that I made and a random sim that I had move in. This game seems like it has a lot of issue with it. Hopefully EA will patch it soon enough.

if just looking for the achievement itself, the sims 4 community has families you can download from the gallery that already have maxed out gourmet cooking skill (or just about to reach it), so that is the quickest option available

The achievements seems to be partially broken for this game, or not unlocking for everyone anyway. I have gotten several skills to level 10, only for the achievements to not unlock. The latest to not pop is this one for the gourmet cooking skill being raised to level 10. Anyone know any information on forcing these to pop, or are we stuck waiting on a patch?

I read that one guy got some of his stuck achievements to pop by creating an 8 sim family, which made the "Full house" achievement, plus his others to pop that hadn't yet. I did this, and got the "Full House" and "Games Within games" (lvl 10 gamer) skill to unlock, but my gourmet still remains locked.

Help anyone?

This achievement didn't unlock for me also, everything else is unlocking just not this. I tried different sims 4 times, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, but this achievement will not unlock. I also called EA and they told me they are investigating the issue, i recommend calling them also and complaining. I sent photo's of me completing the requisites and a picture of the achievement still locked. Poor customer service like usual.

To unlock the Connoisseurus Rex trophy in The Sims 4, you will need to reach level 10 in the Gourmet Cooking skill.

The quickest way to reach level 10 in the Gourmet Cooking skill is to use the lot trait Homey, which will give your Sim a 50% skill gain increase. You will first need to be level 5 in the normal cooking skill, then buy the Gourmet Cooking skills books from a bookshelf.

The Gourmet Cooking Skill unlocks once you reach Level 5 of the (regular) Cooking Skill. It allows you to cook better meals, grants you better Moodlets, and is also required if you are going for Level 10 of the Cooking Career (Chef Branch). To level it up, just keep cooking Gourmet Meals over and over again (they must be Gourmet!). You can read books as well, but honestly it’s much quicker to cook your way to max level.

Your skill will increase faster if you have the “Inspired” Moodlet active. There is a painting you can buy from the store (in Build Mode) that will activate an Aura that will give you a permanent Inspired Moodlet so long as you are close by. The painting, however, requires you to reach Level 3 of either the Painting or Writing career before you can purchase it.

If you don’t have that career level yet, getting inspired is not too difficult. Here are a few different ways to get Inspired:

  • Plunk for Inspiration (Piano Level 3 required)
  • Pluck for Inspiration (Guitar Level 3 required)
  • Bow for Inspiration (Violin Level 3 Required)
  • Earn the “Delicious Meal” Moodlet from cooking (Gourmet Cooking level 4 required)
  • Take a Thoughtful Shower
  • Drink Prose and Pop (Mixology Level 1, Bar Required)

Once you're Inspired, keep cooking GOURMET meals over and over again. Once you reach Level 10 (Max Level), the trophy will unlock.

If you are completing Aspirations for aspiration points, you want to work on Food - Master Chef one while leveling up this skill.
