Certain Sims can lose ability to eat

Good afternoon! I have an uncommon (but common enough to destroy several families) problem with sims losing the ability to eat. They pick up food, do not eat it, then put it back down. The common w...

    @thoughtfix Will try on your set of packs. I don't think the issue is a pack you have but one you don't have that's why I needed the packs you own.

    EDIT: I can duplicate it on your set of packs so now to narrow down which missing pack is causing issues).

    EDIT EDIT: Enabling Jungle Adventure fixes it (this is not a recommendation to buy the pack). Wonder if some mod added something to your Sim that was related to the pack and now fails because the pack isn't present.

    When I have the pack enabled the Sim gets a moodlet from the pack, It's called overwhelming Flavor and it says that the Sim can't eat the whole meal. My guess is that this is what's causing the issue.

    You created the Sim from scratch right ? Have you also been using mods or just CC ? I don't think cc would add this moodlet but maybe it was some mod that had a component for JA.

I made sure all custom content was off and uploaded her to the gallery. Her name is Ravenous Cravensfood and the family name is Cravensfood Bugged.

I started a new game on the Zephyrus PC and downloaded her from my Gallery. She bought a lot in Newcrest, dropped a table and a chair, in Build Mode, and made salad with Delicioso. I set the salad on the table and told her to eat it. She sat down in front of it and ... drum roll ... cancelled the action and decided to play on her phone. Could not get her to eat.

I am convinced that the character is bugged. I think I've done everything to prove that it is not related to custom content. IT IS POSSIBLE that custom content set a flag in this sim that permanently broke it and somehow the flag is carried to new saves, Gallery uploads, etc. but it's worth some developer time to fire up a debug mode and see exactly why that flag is being set.

I hope we find it! Maybe this will permanently fix the problems others have with sims losing the ability to eat when they use custom content. Usually they delete cc beds and it's fixed, but that's not the case with this sim. I don't even think I've ever had any cc beds.
