over stocked fridge problem

I've only seen my fridge with 15 blocks of cheese - so far. I remember telling my sim, "If you eat all that cheese, you're gonna be blocked-up for a Sim month!" >:^P

Has there ever been a fix for this? My sims started with 45 eggs and overstocks of the other normal items and then they multiply when I change lots or travel. At one time, I had 1200 eggs. If this was caused by the Chicken Coop or the Bohemian Garden I'd be willing to uninstall them, it's annoying. I've turned Story Progression off and there's still some multiplying but I think Overwatch may have caught the 90 egg thing I noticed. I looked for a mod for the game to STOP resetting my fridge but I've found none. I did see Nraas no fridge shopping, but I don't have a problem with that one, I don't think my sim's autonomously use the fridge often enough. I don't see how anyone could starve in this game, there's a free food option on every fridge and a bistro and bar food and grills....so many options for food.

@tallcoolone - The fix is still in NRaas StoryProgression. The presence of the SP base mod and its version of progression stops the fridges from stocking randomly on travel transitions and on household switches. I see the bug come right back again if I ever play with SP removed to test something. Strange as it may seem, some players without SP reportedly never see it.

This thread is from late in 2014, after TS3's development cycle was over. As there was no fix forthcoming from EA back then, there wouldn't have been one since. The last meaningful patch we got for TS3 that affected gameplay in any way (not counting Origin) was in Jan 2014.

The way this was supposed to work, without mods, is that if you choose to move a new household in and play them or purchase a fridge for the first time, you get a small amount of food to work with to get you started. That was a kind and thoughtful touch by the game developers, but its programming went haywire for those who keep getting the ever-multiplying stocks of food in there.

Well...I wasn't looking for a fix, looking for more of a connection. I suspected it could be store items that caused the multiplying. I have the Bohemian Garden and those fruits are multiplied and the eggs and I have the Chicken Coop (not placed on ANY lot btw) Thanks soooooooooooo much for responding. Since I just started playing again, I've gotten so many answers from your posts....THX! :) I JUST started using OW and ET so I'm totally newb with mods. As far as Story Progression, since I'm playing the town and actually CAN now with those mods, I'm not using SP at all, EA's didn't keep my town alive. This leaves me with one question; Can I run that part of the Nraas mod without any of the other things?

I hope this is left open because it's still an issue. This issue occurred before I had ANY mod. Never any CC, only store content.

The store content is not causing this, or at least they hadn't been the triggers for many if not most players. The glitch had been noted and dealt with (by the mod) long before the Bohemian Garden and Chicken Coops were made available. The SP mod does run the town for you, but under the player's specifically set guidelines. In other words, it is also a way to manage no or limited forms of progression, it doesn't have to go wild trying to control every aspect of every household in town necessarily.

This page provides a pretty readable overview of how SP works:
http://www.nraas.net/community/StoryProgression-FAQ-General

Many of us deploy some form of Rotational Play by leveraging SP's caste features. If you really do wish to control the entire town, rather than a defined subset of it, to an extent that is also possible by changing the options strategy around a bit to include Active vs. Not Active rather than "in my protected caste or not."

If you do wish to pursue these options for progression, that's great but I would suggest bringing more detailed questions about the mod's workings and how best to deploy them to us at NRaas. It's kind of what we are there for. :)

Appreciated! I was HOPING it was an easy uninstall of store content.

I've got no idea since I've never used those mods. You might try asking at the Nraas Industries website. Good luck!

this is seriously annoying now. I did a complete uninstall/install of all the ep's and sp's so I could start the game with no baggage, no downloads, mods, saved games everything inc the DC Cache was empty.
here's what happened...

day 1 - household 1 the fridge contains: 3 tofu, 3 eggs, 3 cheese, 3 links, 3 lettuce. Saved and switched to another house (going to call it household 2) and opened their fridge, they've got 3 of each, so far so good.
Saved and returned to household 1 (still day 1) their fridge now contains 6 tofu, 6 eggs, 6 cheese, 6 links, 6 lettuce.

day 2 - household 1 the Sim cooked waffles so their fridge now contains 6 tofu, 5 eggs, 6 cheese, 6 links, 6 lettuce
Saved and changed to household 2, they've still got 3 of each, the Sim cooks waffles so their fridge contains 3 tofu, 2 eggs, 3 cheese, 3 links, 3 lettuce. they burn that meal and start again, leaving just 1 egg and all the rest unchanged. I get bored watching the poor old Sim burning another meal and save before changing back to household 1. Now they have 9 tofu, 8 eggs, 9 cheese, 9 links, 9 lettuce!

What the what is going on?

Not sure exactly where the fridge bug is, but one of the NRaas mods squashes it by not allowing fridges to ever be pre-stocked at all. It sounds like it should be Overwatch, but something is telling me it might really be StoryProgression. I had forgotten all about this until I started up an ongoing game with no mods at all in order to test something cooking related recently and found 103 eggs plus too much of everything else mentioned in all of the fridges in town.

^^ I want to say Overwatch (it would make some sense but hey, who needs that right? :P ) but do check it out beforehand. Or get both. Both great mods- if your computer is up to story progression. :)
