It seems to me that the endless drinking bug is triggered by storing drinks in the fridge.I have this problem with any drink I store in the fridge and my current household lives in Willow Creek. Quick meal drinks are fine, but any crafted or bought drink stored in the fridge loses its spoilage time and can't be finished.I have to manually stop the drinking action and the drink still looks full, but can't be finished. That sounds like what you're experiencing.

@manzana0807 Wonder if the endless meals have the same source and the timer going missing is accountable for all of these@InsaneStar Will test apartments later

@crinrict It's possible. My Sims can finish their meals though despite the missing timer. But drinks are definitely bugged once stored in the fridge for me. I use the Backyard Stuff and Spa Day drink trays a lot, so I noticed something was off right away with them after the patch.

1. Close the game2. Right-Click on the game in Origin3. Hit Repair game.

how do you buy power sips at university? I always had to get them by winning gaming tournaments on Fridays and Saturdays while being on the gaming team at university.
