@Shadowheart28 Hi! Do you have any cooking mods? It would be good to test the game without any mods / CC. Maybe create a folder on your desktop and move your mods and CC there. Then go into the This PC / Documents / Electronic Arts / The Sims 4 folder and delete the localthumbcache.package file. Open a new game and see if your sims are able to cook using the normal menu.
If the game performs correctly without any mods / CC, then you'll need to test your mods / CC by adding a few at a time to see which ones might be causing the issue.
