Ingredients not being used from inventory or fridge

[Lizbliz892]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I am missing something.

I began gardening and harvesting fresh produce. When I click the fridge or stove to make a meal, the possible ingredients list is satisfied (such as 1 tomato), but the tomato is not used from my inventory or from the fridge (I've tried both).

I.e. I'll have 10 tomatoes, make a meal that requires 1 tomato, and still have 10 tomatoes after preparation in my inventory or fridge.

I have noticed this on 2 separate games I've created.

I ended up repairing the game through Origin to fix the cooking problem others had been having.

This seemed to fix the bug.

Do you have the use fresh ingredients box ticked ?

There's a pic in this guide: http://simsvip.com/2014/09/14/guide-the-sims-4-cooking-skill-recipe-list/ (just scroll down a bit).

[Lizbliz892]

Yes I do. I have unchecked and rechecked it a few times to try to make it work.

Are you using any mods in your game and is this something new or did it always happen that way ?

[Lizbliz892]

No mods.

I just recently started a new game to fix the disappearing sims in my last game. I did not keep track of ingredients in my last game.

As of right now, this is a new issue.

Added for now.

But you didn't have the other cooking bug at all ?

Wonder if they are connected.
