single serves issue
Hi! I've been trying out the berry pie in my bakery. It's so much better to have single serves.
However, after a while, the environment score for the room went right down, and the pies seem to be at fault - both whole ones and slices. They were in a decrachill, and don't seem to have gone off. When I clicked on them as eatable foods, they said "resume cooking", although they are cooked. The single plates do not have the option to eat them, only to clean up or resume cooking. The whole pies have those options and also 'serve'.
I have seen my sims prepare and eat a single piece autonomously. Maybe it's something that goes wrong after a while only?
My game is up to Seasons, not including Pets.
Edit-
Okay, I found a reference to something that sounds like the same problem:

Once any baked dessert item goes into your inventory(...)once pulled out of inventory, becomes inedible. When you click on it, instead of Serve, you get the options "Resume Cooking" or "Clean Up." (...)Still, you can put it on the shelf and mark it for sale and sell it. You just can't ever eat it, even before marking it for sale, if it was in your inventory.
(...)The display room Environment score gradually plummets over the course of the day. Moving a number of objects around revealed that the problem was the food on the shelves. Even though the refrigerated shelf says that it will keep things cool forever, it apparently doesn't even keep it cool a whole day. You can still sell it. It just makes your shop stink until the customers all complain.

However, this person's issue seems to have been fixed by patching. I already have the patch (I redownloaded to make sure).
Since I found that other thread describing the problem, I think I'll post again in a general help thread. Looks like it is a game problem, not your mod.
However, if you can help, I'll appreciate it. I don't like the way my customers keep leaving!
Update - After removing my downloads, the clean game did not seem to have the same problem - so I supposed it was some bit of CC. However, I put the entire CC back in and have played the same lot now for four or five sim-days longer. I put pies in a maxis decra-chill and a custom one, in case the custom decrachill wasn't working properly. But the food appears to be staying fresh now!
Perhaps the patch needed to be reminded it was there? Don't know, but as the problem seems to have gone away, I wanted to update this post.
Thanks for sharing your work. I can't imagine why Maxis didn't put single serves in from the first.
