Sims autonomously begin preparing food when not hungry

[coleslaw_1915]

I turned autonomy off to prevent this in the meantime. Even with autonomy off, my sims autonomosly begin preparing food.

Thank you. I have used a cheat to instantly repeal the Foodies Unite N.A.P. so hopefully the problem will be resolved for the time being.

Nope. Did not work. My sim stopped baking one cake to start baking another. Looks like I'm going to have to delete the fridge again.

Having this same problem now. BUT, I didnt have the Foodie NAP active. My sim  is just autonomously making cake after cake.

MY SIM HAVE SEVEN CAKES ON HIS TABLE.

Okay. Now my game is just being super glitchy. I deleted the fridge so no more random cakes, but random items are still showing up in my sims' inventories (so I guess I can sell it to get money back from all their pointless baking endeavors), and now my sims are changing clothes spontaneously. They really seem to favor swimsuits. All three household kids are now at school in their swimsuits.

Happens to me too. NO CC/mods, playing on Mac.

(OT: This issue, the issue with helping toddlers and the issues with gardening etc. are really making the game unplayable right now though are not game breaking. I'm really annoyed since I really like EL play :<)

When you say ANY neighborhood, do you mean any of the neighborhoods across all the worlds in the save game including ones in which the problematic Sim/household does not reside? I have all the expansion packs installed, it would be too much work to check each neighborhood individually to see if they have the Foodies Unite N.A.P. And that doesn't explain the random items (mostly lumps of clay) showing up in my Sim's inventories. I just moved one of my Sims into another neighborhood with her boyfriend, and now she is spontaneously baking cakes (starting, not finishing) in the new house, and she and her boyfriend both have random items showing up in their inventories.
The inventory problem is somewhat reminiscent of the "free earbuds" fiasco when Fitness Stuff was released. Hope EA fixes this one soon.

@coleslaw_1915 It seems voting occurs in any neighborhood you have Sims in that are in my households + all of Evergreen Harbor.

Since the Eco Lifestyle patch, gameplay for me has been an annoying experience. I will probably report all the bugs individually once I have time for each. About 5 of them. But this particular bug happens when my sim is hungry. I have tons of leftovers in my refrigerator because my sims will cook or grill food and I put it there for them to eat later, but they won't eat it majority of the time but will instead queue up to start cooking. Sometimes I catch them and stop them before they cook. I know I can always turn off autonomy, but I like having my sims having autonomy. I was trying to search the forum for someone with the same issue but maybe I didn't use the correct words in my search. Also, none of the food in the refrigerator has an expiration time.
