After 11/04/2014 update I can't put any stack of fruits or vegetables in my sim's inventory directly to the fridge. My only solution is to place the item in the room (only one piece), then I can move it into the refrigerator, which I obviously won't be doing for 100 apples in my sim's inventory. :/
Are you using mods in your game ? Did you try a new save game for testing purposes to see if you have the same issue ?
I noticed they've changed where to click on the fruits to drag, have you tried dragging on the main icon area since the update? It used to be the small upper right corner you had to drag with.
@Capajebo: Thanks. This solves my problem 🙂
@mysticalmaid: Dragging from the icon didn't work for me.
@crinrict: I'm using a couple mods for clothing. But since Capajebo's solution helped, I won't be removing them.
Thank you all.
Great to hear that this helped
It is so hard to do that IMO this should be fixed. First of all, it is impossible to drag harvested items directly to the fridge. What you can do is to drag them one by one from the family inventory and place them onto different surfaces. Imagine doing that with a stack of 99+ items 🙂. You cannot drag the whole stack. Event if you place the item on the surface, sometimes it becomes invisible (undo/redo in the builder fixes that though). Do not place items on the ground, because you cannot put them into the sim's inventory, you can only eat or plant them. So, say I place the item on the floor at each grid intersection and hope to place it to the sim's inventory. After you go to the live mode some items can be grabbed and some not. The ones which could be grabbed they could be placed to the inventory. With the rest you are unlucky... You have to put them back to the family inventory. Was that a lucky grid intersection which allowed me to grab the item from and other intersections are different? No. Even if you place another item at the same grid intersection you cannot grab it afterwards. So, basically, moving items is a matter of success.
Anyway, once you succeed to put items into sim's inventory, then you can move them to the fridge. But... well, if you succeed.
Actually, I don't understand the solution. Capajebo's solution is to use "open" interaction on the fridge. But it is unavailable in the build mode where's the family inventory is located!
I will try to reproduce, although it is not easy. First, items must appear in the family inventory. However, in my described case I moved my sim to other lot by asking other sim to allow him to move and chose not to sell furniture. Items in the fridge appeared in the family inventory. In contrary, if I move a sim from the Manage Worlds and choose Keep furniture, all items are sold and appeared in my family inventory but without items from the fridge. So, there are inconsistencies and the second one even contradicts the description. I will try to reproduce whenever I do in the same way. I suppose, there is a difference between collected wild harvest and planted in your own lot. Not sure which ones could not be moved into the fridge.
I think there's also an issue with produce your Sims buy on retail lots. They are always bugged out for me and appear in inactives inventory (which they shouldn't).
Also there's a thread for not able to move stack of items to other Sims so it might all be connected
Yours might be slightly different though since it's family inventory.
Only solution that comes to mind is to move everything to inventory before moving.
Well, reproduced it. However, this time I could grab none of the items from the floor. Maybe, because I had them few. Collected 10 of each wild plant: carrots, strawberries, mushrooms and onions. Planted by 1 and waited for the first harvest. 2 mushrooms collected. Thus, I had 9 carrots, 9 strawberries, 11 mushrooms and 9 onions before asking to move to a new lot. Family inventory have lost some of my harvested items, probably the game uses some ratio of compensation. There were 2 carrots, 2 strawberries, 4 mushrooms and 2 onions in the family inventory. Which were none movable, and I tried to drag them both to the sim inventory and to the opened fridge. There was no mouse hand cursor, simply the screen moved out of the sight when I tried to drag.
