[ARCHIVED] [FR] Pressure cooker food made with the fresh chef trait spoils

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.103.250.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All but the Modern Menswear Kit
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim with the fresh chef reward trait make food using the pressure cooker
What happens when the bug occurs? Their food will have a timer for when it spoils.
What do you expect to see? I expect that food made by sims with the fresh chef trait will never spoil if they make food in the pressure cooker. It doesn't spoil when they use any other small or large appliance in the game.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After installing the For Rent pack since the pressure cooker comes with that pack. 🙂

My sim has the fresh chef trait, as such any food he makes shouldn't spoil, however, if he makes food using the new pressure cooker, it does spoil.  As I commented above, if my sims with the fresh chef trait make food using any other appliance (stove, grill, Sulani bbq pit, other small cooking appliances) it doesn't spoil. This includes the three small appliances recently added with the Home Chef Hustle pack.

No description available.

Note I removed my mods folder before Tuesday's game update and have not added them back so I've been playing mod (and cc) free since the update and installing the pack. I also deleted the localthumbcache file and repaired my game after the update and after installing the pack.

Best regards,

Jennifer

    Like the poster above My sim has the fresh chef trait, as such any food she makes shouldn't spoil, however, if she makes food using the new pressure cooker, it does spoil.  As I commented above, if my sims with the fresh chef trait make food using any other appliance (stove, grill, Sulani bbq pit, other small cooking appliances) it doesn't spoil.

    What do you expect to see? There shouldn't be a timer on food made by Sims with the Fresh Chef reward trait, as food made by them never spoils. Even food made by Fresh Chef Sims in other small appliances like the waffle maker and pizza oven don't have timers either, so it's not because the pressure cooker is a small appliance.

    I played recently and still have this issue with the pressure cooker. It's sad because I was super excited for it in this pack and really wanted to use it in game. I got the reward trait on my Sim so food she makes will never spoil, it sucks that only food made in the pressure cooker doesn't seem to register the Fresh Chef trait.

    I also have this issue with the Pressure cooker, I just played with a sim with the Fresh chef trait and I tried the steamed rice, which had a timer until spoil. I also tried with recipes that are non exclusive to the pressure cooker, such as the butternut chicken and it also had a timer until spoiling.

    @Francoisf30 AND it also happen with the Kettles, if my sims has the Fresh chef trait, I expect any type of food, beverage that are made by that sim don't spoil. Right now kettle too have their drink spoiled with Fresh chef trait.
  • It would be nice if the food doesn't spoil in the pressure cooker when your Sim has the Fresh chef trait.  Since you cannot see through it and it's very easy to forget that there's food prepared in the pot. At least I always forget when a Sim cooked in it. 😞

    cooking on any other stove/grill/applaince will make food or prep w/o spoilage timer, once recieving the Fresh Chef trait.  the Pressure Cooker doesn't seem to be effected by this.  i've only one sim in household, so yes i'm sure she is the one that cooked it.

  • This also applies to spellcasters who use the spell Delicioso/Grand Delicioso who have the Fresh Chef trait. Similarly my sim also has the Melt Master trait (completing the Grilled Cheese Aspiration) and any grilled cheese they summon also spoils. In both cases, I would expect the foods to never spoil. Hopefully the Fresh Chef trait can be checked to make sure it applies across the various methods/appliances.
