Re: [OPEN] [ROM] Cauldron creating wrong item

Yeah, this has happened to me, too.  I agree that it's if you cancel an interaction. 

I don't want my Sims to cook in the cauldron, but they're OBSESSED.  They don't want to cook in anything else.  Stoves are passe!  Grills are mildly acceptable.  But the cauldron! that's the good stuff!

NO SIR OR MA'AM YOU MAY NOT.

So I always cancel the interaction and have them discard the contents before going and getting some of the copious leftovers they have in the fridge, and the next thing they cook in the cauldron is... whatever I canceled.  This wastes the ingredients they used. I've gotten into the habit of having them brew a Potion of Plentiful Needs before they brew anything else, in case their expensive ingredients turn into chili or cioppino or whatever other garbage they decided to muck up their magical tool with.

In one household I put the cauldron outside in a fenced area and only unlock the gate to allow a caster to brew a potion, then relock it when they're finished.
