    I have heard of making nervous purchases but never about nervous cooking… Sims however will no longer endlessly autonomously cook food and then forget about it. Food is a terrible thing to waste.

    Fixed in Patch 1.75.125/ 1.42

    If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

Pretty much what the title says. I make up 3 different meals, put them in the fridge. Then I have to watch all of my sims like a hawk and cancel any/all cooking tasks when they get hungry and redirect them to the fridge.

It's a nightmare when more than one sim is hungry as for some silly reason, only one sim can use the fridge at a time, even if you have more than one fridge on the lot (I tested it). Please, for the love of all that is holy, implement some kind of fix that makes sims prioritise getting leftovers, and make them que for the fridge.

@swithinboy59  There's a trick to multiple fridges on lot. 

If you just click get leftovers for two Sims on two different fridges, they pathing wave.  Grr.

If you click Open and choose the exact leftover each Sim can get, two Sims can get leftovers from two fridges simutaneously if you specify different dishes.  (Alexander, you get leftover eggs and toast in the kitchen.  Claudia, you get leftover omelet in the basement.  Etc.)

That said, I had to confiscate their other fridges because I'd click on the kitchen fridge and tell them to cook, and they'd walk downstairs to the basement fridge to get ingredients, walk back upstairs to chop... AAAAAAA!  (At least it wasn't in the bathroom? ew!)  Or in another house, walk up two flights of stairs to the nursery fridge, walk back down two flights of stairs to the kitchen....

    @xochiquetzl_xkvn So that's how multiple fridges work! Thank you, you learn something new every day. I doubt I'm going to try it again now though, it was too stressful trying to figure it out last time. I'll keep it in mind for the future though.

    I can't wait for the bug(s)? surrounding cooking and getting left overs to get smoothed out, if they ever do.
