[FIXED] Sims won't eat a full meal

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.52.100.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them (minus Island Living)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a toddler with low hunger. Click on some food to either grab a serving or eat.
What happens when the bug occurs? The toddler starts eating but puts the plate down before finishing. I have to click the plate two or three times to get them to eat the whole thing.
What do you expect to see? The toddler eats all of the food before putting the plate down.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

Almost every time I have a toddler click on a plate of food to eat it, the toddler will start eating and then put the plate down again after a few bites. I'm having to click the plate of food two or three times to get my toddlers to eat the entire plate which is really frustrating. The only time I can remember them eating a full plate was a plate of fruitcake. Every other food I tell them to eat has the same issue. 

It has happened with multiple toddlers both in my game with mods and cc and after taking them out and starting a new save. 

It's been happening for a few days but I don't remember exactly when it started.

    I have this issue as well. A similar but different issue I have is that my toddlers will get into a "sleep loop" where they'll lay down to go to sleep, then get up and go to the other side of the bed and keep doing that until I reset them. Idk if anyone else is having that last issue and if I should make another thread for it.

    @carrotcookies I've been getting that too. Not quite as often as the food thing, but enough that it's been really annoying when trying to play. 

    I think it's probably all related, including toddlers getting stuck with things. I've had one of my toddlers stuck with a plate of spoiled food that's been getting in the way of everything, but I've had the other issues with toddlers who aren't stuck with anything in their hands too.

    I'm having the same issue! After two attempts of eating, sometimes she goes to put the food back in her inventory and the plate disappears. Then my toddler can't interact with anything or do anything after that. It usually resolves if I exit the game but it returns after the "not eating the full meal" problem you all are having too. I don't play with mods.

    @carrotcookies YES - I cannot get them to sleep properly, either. Not just you. I have had that, the not putting down a book/toy/empty plate and the not finishing a meal thing. It's making me crazy and I keep getting yelled at by the game to take care of my toddlers. I'm like I AM TRYING! LOL

    I've been noticing that my toddlers aren't eating full meals sometimes too since the June 18/19 update, however, at least for me, it seems like they will if they are really hungry.  I'm wondering if they've adjusted the amount of food a toddler needs to eat?  One time I checked my toddler's hunger after they had only eaten half a sandwich, and the toddler was already full. 

    Thanks and regards,
    Jennifer

    Tried a new save, moved to Oasis Springs instead of Newcrest and it still happens.

    Interesting theory. But I like to err on the side of caution and have them eat til the meter's full. I'd rather have a chunky toddler instead of none at all.

    On another note, finding random plates of half eaten spoiled food isn't the best.

    I had this issue with the Pho specifically with 2 of my toddlers. Neither of them ate it; luckily I had some fruit in each of their inventory, so they chowed down on those. Second time I tried to get one of them to eat a bowl of Pho (the other one had aged up to a child by this time), she once again, didn't eat it. She did fully eat a different meal though, so maybe in my case it's just the Pho that's bugged?

    OK

    I merged this with the toddler thread and adjusted the title
