I'm archiving this thread as some issues are solved and some are not.
Please use these threads instead:
Sims are once again sitting to watch TV.
- Alignment over a clear goal was brought to the table, in a face time generation of a sustainable proactive win-win spin-up of the problem. A holistic outside of the box approach was what ultimately brought our synergy to a proper wellness level, and allowed us to break through the clutter for an end of the day exit strategy to this issue.
Fixed in Patch 1.28.25
Taking Feedback for reading and eating before marking this as solved.
I was referred here from the Sims 4 forum with the eating bug. Original post can be found here:

I have played 3 different households after the March patch, and all of them are doing the same thing, they will stand in front of the fridge to eat after grabbing the food, thus preventing other sims from accessing the fridge. The fridge is not at the corner at any of those houses. I took screenshots from the biggest house - please see comments below:
# 1 - This is where the fridge originally located; sim will stand in front of the fridge after getting food.
# 2 - Removed one counter and moved the fridge in between for more space, sim still stands in front of the fridge after grabbing food.
# 3 - Moved fridge to the middle of the kitchen, sim finally walks over to the dining table and sits down to eat.
But then again, I shouldn't have to leave the fridge in the middle of the kitchen for this to work though... Now my only workaround is to direct the sims to sit.
Thanks for the report
Eating does still seem to be an issue. Not as bad as before but still.
I've adjusted the title. TV and reading was fine for me.
Sims also still don't sit when they play console games.
I found that sitting during dinners works better if there is no second "conflicting" table in the same distance from the fridge - which is often the case if you have a table on the terrace.
Thanks! Hopefully this issue will be fixed soon.
