    • Fixed an issue with object picker UI menus that - when certain conditions were met - would interfere with Sims’ ability to run various “Give” interactions (interactions where objects would be given to other Sims).

    Fixed in Patch 1.105.345/1.89

What happens when the bug occurs? I click on a sim, choose to give a gift and then nothing happens. The list of possible gift choices does not appear and there is no gift giving.
What do you expect to see? I expect the menue of inventory to pop up, where you can choose what to gift. Then the sim should gift the item of choice to the other sim.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. It started after the update I made a few days ago. Then it was just affecting one sim. I installed a new update that was avaliable today (March 2nd 2024) and now it is affecting all of my sims.

‌

This bug affects all types of gift giving between sims in my household (three sims), including seasonal/holiday gifts. It does not affect gift giving to animals.

    I have the same bug. What fixed it for me was removing a grand meal my sim cooked from her inventory.

      I had five children in scouts, three of them could donate gifts to charity, which is required for the scout badge, two couldn't because the dialog picker wouldn't appear for them, neither on the computer or on the mailbox. I tried a few times with both sim children. Afterwards I looked and I had got multiple LEs from my many attempts.

      I then decided to see if removing things from their inventory would help and I found that when I took the prepared food that was in their inventory out of their inventory, the dialog picker would appear. The food wasn't spoiled as it had been prepared by their mother who has the fresh chef trait.

      This is since the update, playing with my mod folder out, all packs but Modern Menswear, game version PC 1.105.332.1020, game repair/clear cache done after each update and after adding the pack (localthumbcache deleted after each play session). 

      Screenshot of one of the LE's I got:

        I was also having an issue giving friendly gifts to other sims. After reading that it seems to be linked to food in the sim's inventory, I'm also wondering if that's the cause of something else I've seen in the game. My sim lives in Henford and has a rabbit stump on her property - she's friends with multiple rabbits. Usually when a sim gifts something to a rabbit, the rabbit gets a thumbs up, thumbs down, or heart thought bubble in response. However, with most of her gifts (even the ones they like or love) the rabbits are responding with the thought bubble of a stinky present and shaking their head in disgust. I'll have to try emptying out her inventory of food and see what happens.

      It happened again. I am looking for the culprit. Defiantly a bug that EA should fix.

    No, no paintings in any inverntory. 

    I read some of the answears here and tried removing the following items:

    - Cooked spoiled food items
    - All cooked food items
    - All edable items and ingrediets
    - Anything crafted
    - All animal treats. 

    Result: 

    Jams, honey, potions, herbal infusions and salves, fruits, berries, herbs, vegetables, oversized vegetable, ingredients and knitted items where all fine. 
    The problems for my sims where cooked food, watermelon conserve, animal treats and crafted tall candles. 

    It is strange though, because when I put the animal treats back in my sims inventory gift giving still works. I tried all kinds avaliable. I wonder if it might be affected by the number of animal treats. I did not put them all back because I just didn't have it in me to put back 50 items one by one. But watermelon conserve and crafted candles ruins it right away when I put them back, in any sims inventory.
