Re: [FIXED] Sims can't cook/can't use fridge

Happened with me as well. I don't have any mod installed, just a fresh install. I did however added the extra content from holiday celebration pack but i already had all other available dlc except for the unlaunched one. 

  • Are you using a laptop or a dekstop computer ?
    • Laptop
  • What are your basic specs (Processor, Graphics Card, RAM, Operating System, Free disc space) ?
    • I7 3610QM, GTX660M 2GB GDDR5, 16GB RAM corsair vengeance, WIN7 professional, 20GB free of 240GB SSD Crucial M500
  • Do you have any files called lastexception.txt (in the folder: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\) with a date that close to the first occurrence of the bug ? (if so, please upload the file to some file sharing site and include the link in your post).
    • http://pastebin.com/SW0K7x2D ->Shows multiple(3~6) retries of trying to grab plate from it; also contains retries of trying to make food with fridge(2~5)
  • Do any of the above workaround work for you and if so, which one ?
    • Repair game
  • Does the issue reoccur after a while ?
    • The bug is new to me, happened today; but i started re-playing only recently; found someone else having the same issue in another thread and the solution of repairing in that same thread; of curiosity after playing went to search more about the bug and found this thread
  • Are you using custom content or mods in your game ?
    • only official DLC
  • At what point did you give the command when you first encountered the issue (ex.: Sims was sleeping and cooking was queued, Sim was doing nothing and just sent to cook) ?
    • At multiple cases:
      • -sim was in bathroom, had him to use the pc to play game, then i issued cook; the taskbar emptied and used the $
      • -direct send usage of the fridge
      • -any other task that was doing that i send him to the fridge makes him reset his position and taskbar
  • Are all the Sims in your household affected or only certain ones ?
    • I only have one Sim, did not tried others, sorry
  • What happen if you switch active households ? Do they have the bug as well ? 
    • I only have one Sim, did not tried others, sorry
  • If you then switch back, do the existing Sims still have the issue ?
    • I only have one Sim, did not tried others, sorry
  • What career does the Sim have that first made the bug occur ?
    • Programmer, he was at the last tier, at startup genius
  • Anything else you think important ?
    • Happened after i loaded my game

EDIT: Forgot to mention that he was able to get quick food(tried only once), but he grabbed from the middle of the living room.
