To make Candy in The Sims 4, players have to get The Kate & Berry Sweet Treats Fabricator 3000, which can be purchased in Build Mode for just 300 Simoleons. The ability to craft Candy is directly connected to the Cooking Skill. As gamers increase their Cooking Skill, more Candy recipes will be available to them.

Sims can craft regular Candy and Shocked Candy, the latter will provide unique effects, but can be dangerous if overdone.

Lollipops and Cotton Candy can be crafted in single services or family sized servings, which includes four items instead of one. However, Sims can create party size portions when crafting Jellybeans, creating eight items at a time.
