Hi! We have all EPs, and enjoy the cooking contests that come with Free Time. However, you can only access at the Sue's Kitchen Secret Lot. I'd like to build a prettier lot that's not a secret hobby lot, where like dance contests, any sim can enter a food contest.

I read the directions at MATY in how to change the decor on hobby lots, but borked my game (glad I backed up the neighborhood first!)

It seems that the key to this is simply having a Food Judging Table available for community lots. I figure with a table present, the judges will show up.

Is this hack possible, and if so, can you do it? Thanks.

I noticed that the darned table can be placed even on home lot but there are no judges spawning?

The Food Judging Table appears to be invisible in the residential and community lot inventory - although if you click the eyedropper on it while at the hobby lot, you're taken to the commun table section - but it's invisible.

Alias, I also guess that making it available would spawn judges since it's a 'special' table.   
 

The contest table has always been available to place on community lots for me and its supposed to be available for everyone thats how EA designed it . I think it appears with the buffet tables . I have about 3 community lots where i can have the cooking contest . You need to make sure you have fridges and cookers on the lot as well i believe so your sim and  townies can make food and join in although townies never cook anything on my lots they just seem to have it

Thanks a million! I finally found it!
