[ARCHIVED] [GTW] Fridge does not refridgerate

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? 1.96.365.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to work, get together, seasons, city living, cats and dogs, discover university, get famous, eco lifestyle, outdoor retreat, spa day, parenthood, dine out, dream home decorator, cool kitchen, spooky, movie hangout, kids room, backyard, vintage glamour, toddler, laundry day, tiny living, nifty knitting
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Cook a dish and put it in the fridge
What happens when the bug occurs? The sim cooked a dish and put it in the fridge. However, the timer on when the food spoils does not change to the longer timer it is supposed to have when a dish is placed in the fridge.
What do you expect to see? The dish to take longer to spoil in the fridge then outside of it.
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

The bug occurred on a lot that has two fridges, and is a retail lot. In the screenshot below you can see a dish that my sim made moments ago, but it spoils in eight hours. 

I did try to see if the bug also occurred on a fresh save. So I made a new save and had my sim cook a dish and put it in the fridge, and here everything just worked fine. So, I do not know why it did not work on the other save.

    @phillillips Did you delete the localthumbcache file after removing your mod ? Have you tried different households in that save where you have issues ?
  • This has started happening to me since installing For Rent. I've noticed that specifically dragging perishable foods onto the fridge itself to put it into the fridge's inventory causes all the food in the fridge to start decaying. Like OP this only happen's on retail lots for me. Saving, returning to the main menu, and reloading the file does seem to fix the issue until another perishable is added.
