Re: [OPEN] [CoL] Simple Living: Gourmet Servings don't show required ingredients

@SheriGRThe recipe shown for each Gourmet dish is not good for three different size. It's only good for single server. Take Monte Cristo Sandwich for example, you could try to have only one meat, one bread in your personal inventory or refrigerator and takes out all the cheese to counter or  other places (just don't leave it in the refrigerator or personal inventory.) In this situation, I believe the family and party sizes are greyed out.

Anyway, this might be an 'oversight', but it actually existed from the very beginning of game. We don't care too much about it because we money can solve it.

I am compiling a list of Gourmet Meal recipes. I also don't expect the EA will do anything on this issue if I create a new thread, because they are too busy. There are many more higher priority bugs they have to deal with. I still have to say thank you one more time for your time to help me work on this issue.

    I just wanted to add, and maybe you have seen this already that when you try and cook a Gourmet Meal > Caesar Salad in a large format, let's say Family or Party Servings, there is no option to do so. It doesn't matter if you have lots of lettuce/lemon it doesn't register it. So it either has a hidden ingredient that I don't have at the moment in the fridge, or its a bug. The gourmet meal option is good game play for Snobby sims/Rich Sims, and because I'm currently playing both, it's just a drag on the game immersion. You would want all options to be clear from the get go. Should I not do the "Simple living" trait lot option in this case? No. All my playable lots have this trait because it's realistic. Ingredients don't just pop out of nowhere. Shame.. I mean a real shame.

    @animatedoodle I just entered the same lot that I tested with earlier in the thread (please reference some of the background/info in my previous posts here). I checked and in their refrigerator (so that all have access to them) they have 2 lettuce, and obviously a lemon and a tomato (see screenshots). The Sim was able to make both a Caprese Salad and a Caesar Salad, if the required ingredients are available to the Sim (Lettuce+Tomato for Caprese; Lettuce+Lemon for Caesar). Also, if one of each of those ingredients is owned the Sim was had the option of making a Single serving, Family Size, or Party Size:


     

    Do you have Mods/CC? If you do, it's possible that one of them is affecting your choices. It does not need to be a Mod/CC that would seem like it would conflict. If you have Mods/CC you can test as follows:

    Spoiler
    Try moving the Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4] to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder. Then check in a new game save to see if this issue is still occurring. You can test without saving in order to identify which CC/Mods are causing the issue, then remove or add updated version(s) of the Mod/CC causing the issue.

    @BLsWnd Do you have Mods/CC? Can you cook in another, new save? Is it all households that you cannot cook in or just this one household?

    @BLsWnd Could you describe what happens in more details ? Any mods/cc in your game ? Do you have Horse Ranch ? If so, what lot are you playing ?
