I was like, "OH HEY, did I write this post? I don't remember doing it but ME, TOO!"
Yeah, always with the bread and cheese. ALWAYS. Lobster thermidor? bah! Butternut gnocchi? pah! Omelets? Eggs and Toast? phooey! Blackened Bass? Are you trying to POISON me???
BREAD. PLAIN BREAD. THAT'S THE GOOD STUFF! PLAIN BREAD FOR EVERY MEAL WOOHOO YEAH!!!!!!!!! They don't even make a sandwich, or put butter or jam (we have jam!) on it. Just... a naked slice of bread. PLAIN NAKED BREAD. EVERY MEAL. Unless it's cheese, which is marginally acceptable if we're out of PLAIN BREAD.
(Those of you who live in non-US countries, you have no idea how BAD plain bread is in the US. Just sayin'. I used to live in Germany, and... trust me. It comes in super convenient shapes to use as an ingredient and is 100% certified flavor free, and also has zero fiber so it can gum up your digestive tract better. I get that Henford-on-Bagley is the UK, but I also know y'all don't eat nothing but plain bread with no butter or jam on it for every single meal!)
What the heck, guys? Is this a "Hey, they want added challenge and difficulty so let's set it so Sims only want to eat ingredients and ignore all other foods if the lot has Simple Living, making it impossible to keep ingredients in the house"?

It drives me nuts too. It can’t be that hard to fix. Sims don’t help themselves to tomatoes or meat instead of leftovers so somewhere along the development line someone has omitted to make them ingredients instead of meals, Presumably someone who lives on bread and cheese.

im still having this problem with them eating bread and cheese. I noticed how this post says it's {FIXED} but I am still having the same problems. Even if there are leftovers in the fridge, they will go for the ingredients. I do have mods installed, I am not sure if that is the issue but my game is updated to the most recent version. Is there anything that I can do to fix it?

Yes, there are things you can do. Stop putting food items in the refrigerator if you don't want them to be leftovers.
If you want to limit the bread and cheese to use as ingredients, then don't make them ahead of time. Wait until you are about to use them, and then make as many meals as necessary to use them up. If you do have some left over, throw it away to make sure nobody eats it!
Or, put the leftover ingredients in household inventory (Buy mode). I don't think food spoils while it's in household inventory, so that's actually better than the refrigerator for storage. That should prevent Sims from eating the ingredients.

@vioIetwraith if I have ingredients in the fridge I just choose the leftovers I want them to eat by using Open instead of Get Leftovers. Then I choose their meal.
Or if there are a few Sims getting leftovers, say at breakfast I drag the plate out to the bench and get them to take a serving from the plate instead of the fridge.
It also stops the annoying Sims standing around the fridge problem.

That's how I usually handle things, too, but I mostly play one Sim households so it's easy for me to keep track of what the Sim is trying to do. Micromanagement gets a lot harder when there are two or more Sims to handle.

First of all, this is an old bug, and EA still have not fixed it. Second of all, the bug got much worse after that Lovestruck pack. Before that my sims would grab prepped veggies/ butter/bread whatever from the fridge from time to time. Now if left to their own accord, they ALWAYS grab prepped ingredients. Every fricking time. This is why I do not buy EA packs/kits etc anymore. I have already paid like 500 pounds for SIMS4, and EA delivered a faulty product. I am not buying anything untill you guys fix the game. And would you please stop advising to repair game or delete localthumbcache! It does not work. I uninstalled the game. I wiped it off my computer and installed it again. And it's stilly buggy as hell.The product you are selling is faulty and you should be ashamed of yourself.
