I've had a good Google and can't find anything, but it seems unlikely that in 16 years of Sims 2 modding nobody's come up with this one - are there more takeaway food options out there somewhere? There's pizza and Chinese food in the game, but has anyone come up with a bucket of fried chicken, or McDonalds, or fish n' chips?

I've never seen such a thing. You can certainly download custom foods like a bucket of fried chicken but it's not delivered. You would have to grab it from the cataloge and could pretend it was deliverd.

Not delivery, but cookable at home or an owned restaurant.

Placeable and your sims can help themselves (including a bucket of fried chicken and burgers).

I was just thinking the same thing!! There are many different dishes to download but they are not delivery food! I have lazy sims who can't cook so I would like to get more delivery food options

I've downloaded all kinds of custom meals that don't require any cooking skill or even need a stove though most require a counter or food prep slot to prepare for meals.I was like those of you looking for more options for unskilled cooks when I started searching for meals for unskilled sims.I started with sun sandwhiches and there's also a Mod to eliminate the schedule allowing any meal to be prepared any time.
