Lunch bag not moving to inventory (patch 1.86.157.1030) [ Edited ]

[Etz_Arava]

This is exactly what's happening in my game lately. Its really frustrating because I like the lunch bag feature but for the past week or so it's been glitchy, but prior to that I've never had any issues with it. I do play with mods so I wont be able to provide save files, but it seems the glitch happens in non-modded saves too. So far I've had this glitch happen on my testing save and my main save too. What I've found is if I leave the lot then come back it may work for a time, but eventually the glitch comes back. The only way I've been able to get rid of the floating lunch bag is if I go into BB, and delete it from there. Oh, and once the bug starts if I attempt to drag the lunch bag into their inventory from the fridge it just vanishes.

I'm having the same issue!! I've removed all mods, deleted my Resource.cfg and localthumbcache.package files each time, even repaired the game, and I've seen no improvement! So far I've only tried this with the Veggie and Hummus Sandwich each time, but I can't move it to inventory either through dragging or interaction! Instead it floats in the air, and it's been this way every time.

@BitterClover Oh! And this is in response to the 15/06 patch (1.89.214.1030) :D

I'm on Xbox and having the same issue. They make the movement to put it in their inventory, but then the lunch just hangs out in midair. If I try to move the lunch, it attaches to my arrow and doesn't go away. I have to save and then restart my game.

I have the same bug too. I sent my savefile.

Sack lunch won't go into inventories or the fridge. on the rare chance it does, the sim stays home instead of going to work but still shows as being at work. Going to edit worlds put my sim in the right place and the sack lunches back on the side instead of floating in space but can't get them to go in inventories at all.

Sometimes a lunch bag somehow ends up in a Sim's inventory. I don’t see it there, visually it’s not there, but the lunch disappears from the mouse cursor, and the sim goes to work. But as soon as the Sim eats his lunch and gets the moodlet, the game immediately returns him home, although the end of the working day is still far away.

I'm having this issue as well, no mods and config and cache files deleted to be sure no trace of them was left. 

Bag does a lot of weird things, but mostly it just disappears, becomes unusable, or flips into the air and freezes...and then becomes unusable. I get last exceptions upon trying to place it in my inventory, and upon trying to take it out if its somehow ended up in there. I've also had duplicates appear in testing environments. Happens on new files, old saves, etc. 

Hope this gets patched! I recall this was an issue a few years ago too..

I know how you feel, unfortunately. The sad thing for me is that I have mods which make it more difficult to save money on certain meals.

For instance, it costs about 100 simoleons to cook a cheese pizza from raw ingredients.

This is not fun.

Having this same issue. Just downloaded the game, no CC, no mods. The only thing that works is unpacking the sack lunch and then repacking it. Actually allows me to drop it into inventory and also gives me the ‘put in inventory option’ for my sim.
