Hi all!

Having a weird glitch that I can't seem to find answers for on Google (which is rare!). When my Sim cooks, which she does a lot - it's kind of her thing - she often won't put the completed dish down for ages. She will sometimes take a serving and then walk to wherever she would sit to eat, still holding the serving plate, then realise she can't eat because of the serving plate and put her own food on the floor (but continue holding the serving plate!). It's super frustrating - after a while she will eventually go put it in the fridge, not on the counter even though there is loads of space including right next to the stove.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? I have all packs except Vampires. I am using MC Command Center and a mod to stop kids waking up from the monster under the bed, plus other CC (clothes, hair etc). It still does it if I take out the CC/mods.

Cheers!

I have the same problem even without CC used my "fix" is to click on the serving plate and take another serving most of the time my Sim will put down the serving plate

Same thing happened to me yesterday, at first I blamed the new update..(duh, logic right)
Now I am wondering were you using the xBOX vintage fridge by any chance? It was also the first time I use this one...exploring options here.

mines wont finish cooking and still don't sit down to watch tv

It is one of the cooking bugs introduced by the Toddler patch, if you enable testingcheats you can shift-click on the plate and reset object and the plate with drop to the floor.

sw33ti3, when they won't finish cooking where they using the dine out chef station? That is another bug in the food collection thread.

I was testing out recipes on the dine out chef station in a new clean game so maybe this list will help you avoid problem dishes.

Dine Out Chef Station failures (you cannot reset the chef station, you have to delete and replace because something gets stuck in the oven)
Cooking (just tested ones I thought might use the oven)

Taco Casserole
Tuna Casserole
Vegetable Casserole

Gourmet Cooking (all hot recipes tested so those not on this list were successful)
Rack of Lamb
Lobster Thermidor

Baking (all recipes tested except fish pie and cowplant essence pie, those not on this list were successful)
All recipes can be baked on the chef station however some dishes are affected by the toddler patch bug where sim makes group meal, takes a serving automatically and puts it on a counter and the group meal is stuck to their hand (can reset object to clear).

Bread sticks
all Bread
all Bagels
Fruit Pie
Sweet Potato Pie
Carrot Cake
Spinach and Mushroom Quiche
Spinach and Onion Quiche
Shepherds Pie
Lemon Meringue Pie

Toddler bug where sim makes group meal and automatically takes a serving and puts it into their inventory.

Gourmet Cooking
Ceviche and Chips
Pasta Primavera
Vegetable Tempura
Garlic Noodles
Chicken Saltimbocca
Salt and Pepper Shrimp Cocktail

I know there are a quite a few Cooking recipes also affected but I didn't feel like going through all of those as well.

I have successfully cooked cakes as long as my sim is not hungry, and I have to make sure the cake is in the right slot of the counter to put on birthday candles.
