Re: [FIXED] Can't drag NPC made food in/out of fridge

I noticed this glitch occurs each time I start a new save file in the premade houses.  It also affects bookshelves (prevents Sims from buying books from the bookshelf), musical instruments and the slablet.  Basically, anything that can go into a Sims' inventory that is default when you load the game for the first time.  A temporary work around is to delete the fridge, the bookshelf(including the books individually by having a Sim take each one out of the bookshelf), etc. and then repurchase the objects in build mode.  After the objects are repurchased, they work fine. 

I also noticed that when there are cooked foods in the fridge or empty plates and you merge families and remove the items from the household inventory, the food can't be dragged to the fridge and the plates can't be dragged to the trash can.  Also, the maid does not clean up the plates.  The only way to clean them up is to have the Sims individually clean them up.

    This happened after the patch but once I replaced the fridge it worked fine and I haven't had any problems. I experienced this glitch in the premade houses already in the game and not in any of the houses I built myself or downloaded from the Gallery.

    Someone suggested starting a new game or using the save as feature because some of the new coding from patches isn't present in the older saves. I don't know how true this is but will try and test both these methods.

    I also wanted to point out that cooked food from NPCs and caterers cannot be dragged the fridge when you are present in your Sims' house. For example, if your Sim hired a caterer and you want to store the food in the fridge you have to click on each plate and have the Sim carry each plate to the fridge rather than dragging it yourself.

    I don't know if the game is supposed to function like this or it is an oversight from the devs.

    Bingo.  I had premade homes that I had replaced/upgraded the fridge before and it still glitched out.  I started a new game, on a new computer and this happened.  Ditched the fridge and replaced it with an identical one and all was right with the kitchen world.  Odd, but at least there's a work around.
    I noticed similar strangeness with the caterers.  Wondered about that, also.
