Restoration Ritual Spoils Food (Workaround)
All of a sudden in my game the perfect food in my Kelvin Minus One Fridge was spoiling. I had read about this bug but in four sim weeks had never experienced it. And then suddenly it happened to me.
So what was the trigger? At first I suspected the Kelvin Minus One. It seemed to coincide with my level 10 chef earning it at work. But there was one other thing that happened at about the same time which was the true culprit.
My witch reached level 9 in spellcasting and began using Restoration Ritual. To test this out I emptied out the fridge of all prepared meals. I then had my chef prepare one perfect Firecracker Shrimp meal. They ate it, saved the leftovers in the fridge and went to bed. The next morning when my level 9 spellcaster arose I checked the quality of the meal in the fridge with the game paused. Still perfect. I then had my spellcaster cast the Restoration Ritual. Unpaused the game. Immediately after the spell was cast I again check the quality of the meal. Normal. The instant one of these meals is taken from the fridge the quality immediately turns to bad.
It is extremely difficult discovering the triggers for some of these bugs. The actions that cause them seem so unrelated. Like holding special seeds in one's inventory preventing the consignment shop from working or preventing the ability to fish. How in the world did anyone figure that out?
And please don't ever store your tent in a treasure chest if you want to see the picture of your sim's house on the saved game screen.
I believe the gardening bugs have a trigger. I have never experienced any of the gardening bugs being reported. My witches have worked tirelessly to develop a perfect garden of alchemy plants and mushrooms. I am fully convinced these bugs exist. It's just that my idiosynchratic game play has never set off the trigger whatever it may be.
