I just can't make strawberry jam. I can make other canned goods, just not strawberry. How bizarre!

Only happening in my current save. Can make this jam in other saves.

I do have the right ingredients.

There's sugar in her inventory and in the fridge, strawberries in the fridge.

I tried again just now and she is able to make it. Not sure if it's from saving and exiting a few times or something else. Pretty strange.

@Jessycaz Do you not have the option, is it greyed out or do you experience a reset ?

Can other Sims make it ?

[Jessycaz]

The option is there, and there isn't even a reset. The rest of my Sim's action queue stays the same, just "Make strawberry jam" never gets added to it.

I didn't try it with other sims until just now. The dad in my save can make strawberry jam. How very strange! It's literally just my main Sim.
