Not sure about OP, but mine won't work when I set it on the kotatsu but will work when I put it on a normal surface. 🤷🏻♀️

I've seen something similar on PS4, but it was because the sims were waiting for the last member to appear so they could all sit down at once. As soon as the last sim made it to the table, the action appeared and they sat down together.
In my case, it was a toddler with low movement skill so it took a long time for them to get to the table.

the problem only seems to come up for me when not everyone is sitting at the kotatsu already.
Cooking won't start until everyone is there, so it seems as if the hoopot actions isn't working.
But the action shows up in the queue of the sims not already sitting at the table.

I just found out it’s not working because you need to remove the lot challenge simple living if you have it on the lot your trying to use the hotpot on. If you have that on try removing it then using the hotpot hopefully it works.
