Sims won't cook

★★★ Newbie

None of my family will cook! I've tried each family member mutiple times, I've changed the fridge and oven and tried a premade sim and still nothing. I'm on the fourth generation of my family and I don't want to lose them. Help?

I had that issue and nothing worked -- Repair Game, deleting the localthumbcache, evicting the family and moving them back in. 

 

As a last resort I sold off a bunch of MySims figurines my Sim had in her inventory -- I was trying to save them till we get basements so I could set up a display -- and for some reason that seemed to work, so I wonder if too full inventories might have some sort of effect. (We really need more storage solutions especially for small houses without a lot of display space!)

Even after Repair Game I get the Fridge issue.
My Sim Olie Sirat by EuphorialQueen
I have been playing this Sim as part of a challenge for about 16 Sim weeks. He is (and has been) the only Sim living on the lot.  

Sim was greeting a visitor just before I clicked on the Hunger bar so he would get or fix food.

The action never completed so I clicked on the fridge 2 other times and the cooking action did not complete.

I saved/quit/ Repaired game ... again.

Went back to save and issue was corrected.

Re: [Info Request] Sims can't cook/can't use fridge

★★★ Newbie

Symptoms

 

Sims start cooking, than dont finish the meal. telling them to continue will result in them saying like they cant go there. but they can go there to remove the unfinished meal.

 

Workarounds

 

  • Restart the game did not help
  • Right click on the game in Origin and choose repair game did not help
  • Delete your cache files did not help
  • Rename your user folder not tried 
  • Make sure there's nothing above the fridge/stove that could cause a routing failure. checked

Please provide the following information

 

  • Are you using a laptop or a dekstop computer ? laptop
  • What are your basic specs (Processor, Graphics Card, RAM, Operating System, Free disc space) ? i5- 2450M ,GT630M, gpu:1gb, cpu:8gb, windows7, 120 gb
  • Do you have any files called lastexception.txt (in the folder: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\) with a date that close to the first occurrence of the bug ? (if so, please upload the file to some file sharing site and include the link in your post). this file is from when made the save, and the next day this problem occured http://1drv.ms/1BTbAvZ
  • Do any of the above workaround work for you and if so, which one ? none of them worked
  • Does the issue reoccur after a while ? always
  • Are you using custom content or mods in your game ? xmax content
  • At what point did you give the command when you first encountered the issue (ex.: Sims was sleeping and cooking was queued, Sim was doing nothing and just sent to cook) ? not sure but i think cooking was in the queue
  • Are all the Sims in your household affected or only certain ones ? all of my  2 sims
  • What happen if you switch active households ? Do they have the bug as well ? just have one household
  • If you then switch back, do the existing Sims still have the issue ?
  • What career does the Sim have that first made the bug occur ? painting /writing
  • Anything else you think important ? also rebuying oven/fridge wont work

Can you switch active households (just use one of the premades) for testing purposes to see if they have the same issue
