This thread has become a bit of a mess and I'm going to lock this.
Please make new separate threads for issues that are still occuring
Thank you
Same issue for me. Taking food from the fridge is fine, it is cooking new food that is the issue.
I'll chim in with a food related issue, specifically a baking related one: When baking breads (tested on plain and whole wheat bread), carrot cake or bread sticks, the sim will take a serving even before putting the newly created food on the counter. They then proceed to either put the group serving down after some time and keep the single plate in hand without using it or keep both plates in hand (without using either). The other dishes I checked (lava bundt cake for example) worked fine. The issue occured first in a freshly repaired only lightly modded game (I was checking some custom food I had just updated for the patch) and persisted when I tried it without any mods.
I couldn't make out a pattern in the objects yet, but they seem all to be related to the baking skill. The cakes made with the cooking and gourmet cooking skill seem to be working just fine. (I should add that this only started with the toddler update.)
My problem has been with some baked goods as well as regular food served. It just happened with Chili, for example. I almost always use the Serve Food option, as I like having leftovers, so it has been pretty annoying for me ☹️
Now that you mentioned it I did some further testing and dumped some of the more usual multi-serving object tunings (object_Food_PlateFork_Multi, object_Food_BowlFork_Multi, object_Food_BowlFork_Multi_Cake) on some of the bread loafes. The only one which did not cause an issue was object_Food_BowlFork_Multi_Cake. object_Food_PlateFork_Multi will make the sim sit down and put the complete large dish in their inventory, object_Food_BowlFork_Multi will make them grab a serving and put the grabbed serving in their inventory. The latter with the exception of vegetarian sims cooking meat dishes. When my vegetarian sim cooked normal Chili, she simply put it down, when she cooked Vegetarian Chili, she grabbed a serving and put it in her inventory. I checked this on some other dishes as well and there seems to be a pattern.
