Re: [FIXED] Sims cook but don't autonomously eat/ cook more/ eat quick meal instead

Replacing the brand/type of fridge seemed to work for me - for a little while.  I saved my game, and when I returned to this save the same behavior returned.  Sims are cooking, but not eating what they cook.  As I noted, one workaround I found, is to remove the fridge altogether and replace it with a cooler.  The sims will eat quick meals out of a cooler, and they won't starve to death.  A side effect of this workaround, is the sims will keep trash in their inventory - they'll need to be told to throw the trash away and clean up after themselves.

    I was hopeful the second patch was a fix but it seems after playing longer, my Sims have slowly reverted back. 😞

    I was still noticing food laying around in the game I was playing, so I did a test game.  New sim, moved into the Cabana in Willow Creek, hands off, full triple speed and watched.  As soon as hunger struck he made mac&cheese, left it on the counter to make a salad, left it on the counter to cook something else which started a fire.  After the fire, he picked up his salad and ate it.  I only have "Get to Work" and "Moschino Stuff" on the base.
