I'm just not seeing what would make me have issues in worlds I downloaded but not a fresh world I made to test the bug? I know it isn't a mod because that would carry over to the fresh world. It can't be lot or world-specific because it's happened on so many different lots in 4 different worlds (including uni subhoods). I'd do the half and half test with my mods folder but it doesn't happen in the fresh world. I haven't played Sims 2 since like 2017 since been difficult to get it to work so I'm hoping I can get this figured out so I can finally return to Sims 2...
Try downloading Boiling Oil's No Sim Loaded. Just google it. It's on a site that this site likes to censor the name of for some reason.
The mod nukes a lot of tokens and gossip and some people who had one Sim not eating were able to get them eating again by using the mod. Just googled your problem to see if it had happened to others before (which is easier said than done given eating problems have occurred in all versions of the game isolating to just TS2 is hard).
Given that it's every Sim, I'm not 100% sure that it will work. Just make sure you also grab Cyjon's Smarter EP check (Boiling Oil links to it) as his mod requires that mod to work.
If that mod doesn't fix the issue, then I would take a back up. Pull your mods, pull your CC - ie go back to vanilla. Delete the various cache files. Load the game. If that doesn't fix the issue, with the mods and CC still pulled, make a new Sim in one of the affected neighborhoods. Does the issue happen to this new Sim?
Edit: Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Sims 2 to be able to tell from a log what the issue is and how to fix it or anyone who does, sorry.
