I just want to report that it seems this issue has been fixed with the March 26th Patch
Is it just the microwave or also other problems ?
Here's another similar thread and I just wanna make sure it's not the same: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/Can-t-cook-after-update-in-December/td-p/4125428/
Also does new household mean you started a new save game or you started a new household in an existing save game ?
Do you have any files in your tray folder ?
I can cook using all the other methods just fine. Only the Microwaves. Whether the command is iniatied from the fridge or the microwave to cook something that requires the microwave.
Completely fresh game. I always delete all my saves after patches to avoid issues.
And if the tray folder is located at C:\Users\ USER NAME\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Tray
I have a total of 49 files there.
3 HOUSEHOLDBINARY Files
3 TRAYITEM Files
37 SGI Files
6 HHI Files
EDIT -
I went back in the game and was able to reproduce the issue again with another new household. I can also cook meals that require the stove with no issues at all.
I can add that after you interupt whatever is being cooked in the microwave, when you click "Resume Microwave Dinner" Or Empty (Insert Microwave Name)" The sim will not go back to the microwave and instead queue washing dishes and walk to the nearest sink with nothing in hand.
They perform no animations in front of the sink. They just stand in place a quick second then clear their queued actions.
Could you try if repairing the game on Origin does anything for you.
I've added for now.
Nope. Repaired twice and still have the issue.
