[OPEN] [CoL] [SE] Can't use Hot Pot with Simple Living Lot Challenge

[ Edited ]
★★★ Novice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.146.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except toddler, kid's room, and luxury party stuff pack.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a household, move to a lot. Implement the simple living lot challenge and place a hot pot on a table. Attempt to use the hot pot.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim is unable to use the hot pot with the simple living lot challenge enabled. It also does not show ingredients, only a money amount.
What do you expect to see? A set amount of ingredients and the ability to use the hotpot.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

The Hot Pot does not work with the Simple Living lot challenge. While I understand why, there has been no addition for ingredients, it is unfortunate as I really enjoy combining the Snowy Escape with the Cottage Living pack

 

ETA: The Hot Pot does work in the same saves once turning off the Simple Living challenge. It deducts the required simoleons and then it works.

I have the exact same issue. It works without the simple living challenge. I wish ingredients would be shown so you can get them and prepare the hot pot. :c

To anyone who goes here, Rex has a mod to fix this. It's not yet on the Bug Fixes thread.

you'd think they could leave the mod links since they rely on modders to do their bug fixing for them

I had a look at this, and it seems to be because there are a few interactions which have tests that disallow them to be run when the Simple Living lot challenge is present. Specifically, the following XMLs:
E882D22F!0000001F!000000000003C1FD.super_HotPot_StartCrafting_Autonomously_Oden.xml
E882D22F!0000001F!000000000003C1FE.super_HotPot_StartCrafting_Autonomously_Sukiyaki.xml
E882D22F!0000001F!000000000003C1FF.super_HotPot_StartCrafting_Autonomously_Yosenabe.xml


These interactions are entirely autonomous in nature (cannot be directed by the player) and seem to be pushed by a situation that is started by the visible interactions on the hot pot. All of them have the following code in their test_globals:

Spoiler
  <V t="zone">
    <U n="zone">
      <U n="zone_tests">
        <V n="zone_modifiers" t="enabled">
          <U n="enabled">
            <V n="blacklist" t="specify">
              <U n="specify">
                <L n="blacklist">
                  <T>258836<!--zoneModifiers_lotTrait_RequiredIngredients--></T>
                </L>
              </U>
            </V>
          </U>
        </V>
      </U>
    </U>
  </V>

Given that every test in test_globals must pass for the interaction to run, this means it will always fail when the Simple Living lot challenge is active, and thus can never be run. I did some testing, and removing this test seems to solve the problem.

Hopefully the developers will implement this fix. There is such a big focus on food and cooking in this game so I hope they can fix it. Pretty annoying to have to disable and enable the trait to use the hotpot.
