Unable to use Food Processor

Question

Ok so I've been gone from the sims for a while now and coming back for the new EP coming out next week. Been testing out a few things but I seem to have found an issue that I never had before....

I'm not sure why but at some point my sim becomes unable to use the food processor (and perhaps other cooking items too)

He'll put the food in the processor, shred it, and when he goes to take it out he complains that something is blocking his path and stops cooking.

there is nothing blocking his path. I've even tried it outside with plenty of counters and space.

Not sure what causes it... I use resetsim and then he works fine again, and then sometimes it happens again...

Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: It seems to happen whenever my Sim wants to get the bowl out to stir the meal in progress.

usually replacing the item with a new one will fix it, if they are too tired and their motives to low, they will act weird and not function right until they get at least one of the bars up some, I keep apples and such in their inventory something they can eat right away to help with that, if it's not that then try replacing the object with a new one?

The one that comes with the venue at the sims 3 store.Maybe it's just coincidence though.

hmmn, is there a gnome on the floor nearby or anything, or a picture on the wall nearby one that came from the festival? that will do it too, other than that I hope someone comes along that has a better answer to help you out

edit: typo

edit: oh and I've had no problems with the cart, I've used it quite often, but anything is possible

Just a bump to see if anyone else has any ideas :\
