Re: [FIXED] [CL] Recipes "Normal" when Excellent is expected

It’s not suddenly random, it’s always been that way, I’m just saying that a normal
meal from a master chef once in a while doesn’t seem like a bug.

They should have a very high chance of making excellent meals every time. But your bug post seems to say your sim is only making normal quality all the time for City Living recipes and never excellent?

But when we tested it our sims made excellent meals. So can you clarify? That’s what my post was about.

    I'm trying to figure out what happen, why it happen and if it's intended or unintended or if it's a problem with my save. I don't want to debate.

    Formally I would have looked to the forums to help sort this out as I, indeed, do not know if this is a bug. I don't like AHQ. It makes me nervous to post here and so I find it unhelpful. I have probably not made myself clear.  

     

    I'd delete this and start over, but I don't know how.

    This only seems to randomly happen when a Celebrity with the Refined Palate trait marries a homeless Townie. If the Townie cooks a Normal group meal it can effect the whole households ability to cook Excellent meals for a short period of time. If no one cooks for a while it goes away. Yay! Dining Out!

    The solution is to not have that Townie cook group meals if they're not Happy or Inspired. 

    I think this is just a combination of a glitched Townie meets the Refined Palate trait bug*.

    *Sims who use the Quick Be Gone potion, but continue to exhibit the removed trait.

    I haven't noticed this being a problem since the last patch and IL.
