[OPEN] [CoL] Can't grill salmon with Simple Living active

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.78.58.1230
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try to grill samon on a lot with the Simple Living challenge active while having all the required ingredients in your inventory or fridge.
What happens when the bug occurs? The option to grill salmon is grayed out and the ingredients list says "Salmon 0/0, Herbs 2/2", even though I have more than enough salmon in my inventory and/or fridge.
What do you expect to see? For the option to grill salmon to be available and the ingredients list to say "Salmon 2/2, Herbs 2/2".
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 

Somebody asked about this issue in a discord server so I tried it in my own game. First in my main save (with mods) and could not grill salmon, despite having the required ingredients in my inventory. Then I tried without mods in another save. Same result. However, other recipes that require salmon can be cooked (such as herb-crusted salmon).

  • I’ve had the same issue yesterday with my sims and I only have mcc command center and the woohoo wellness mod installed but i don’t think either of those affect cooking. The only lot trait i have on is simple living. I had my sim do a second grocery order and he got some other fish which he was then able to use for other meals but he wasn’t able to cook the salmon despite having enough herbs in the fridge.

    same with me, i took my mods out as well, even repaired my game. still cant grill salmon. hope they fix it because simple living is a fun lot trait to play for sure. just take the fun out of playing this game anymore when things dont work and paying for it

  • I am experiencing the same issue. I play on console so I don't have access to mods.

  • I'm having this problem, too! I have enabled Simple Living Lot Challenge in Cottage Living and now I cannot grill Salmon. Will try to turn off the challenge although that sucks =( I really like Simple Living.

    I'm having the same issue but only when the Simple Living lot trait is enabled.
