It does, however, create food at a lower quality than the replicator by default. With Into the Future installed, and sufficient Simoleons, it becomes near useless as one can instead buy a food synthesizer, which can create any food (except Ambrosia) an unlimited amount of times. It also has an 'Improved Memory' upgrade for Sims with level 9 of the handiness skill, which doubles the number of replicas that can be created from 10 to 20, and may improve the quality of the replicas. It cannot replicate pizza and Ambrosia in its 'completed' state. The replicator may then create a limited number of replicas of any stored meal.
Once placed on the lot, it adds the 'Store (meal name)' option to all food in the area.
It is an object that, when first purchased, appears in the family inventory. The Food Replicator is a lifetime reward obtainable for 50,000 points in The Sims 3.
