Fridge Inventory Bug?
Hi. I realised fridges in my game do not really share inventory. For eg : I have 3 fridges. 1 is in black colour, the other 2 whites. If I cooked a family dish, and placed it into the Black fridge,...
@PugLove888Hello. I tried with new Save Game, newly created Sim in a new house on a different lot. I also uninstall my entire Sims 4 game, re-download everything fresh. Still can't solve the problem.
But I noticed that :
1) It won't happen if I put in a "Single serving" dish. The Sim will happily grab leftover if I put "Single" dish in the fridges. The glitch will only happen if I use "Family size" / "Party size" dish.
2) Surprisingly, after I left the lot (as you suggested) and traveled and came home, it fixes the glitch. It somehow resets the inventory or something like that. (which is good news to me!) BUT...
if I pulled out the dish, and re-insert it back into the fridge, that glitch is back again! LOL. Meaning, the problem will only happen with "newly" stored dishes.
Anyway, I really think this glitch has nothing to do with my existing Sims, or save game or lots that I created, or even any Mod/CC. How could it happen even with a freshly installed game with no Mods or old save game etc...
I guess I would have to just leave my lot and then back to the lot in order to fix the problem temporarily.
But hey, thanks for your help!
@Simbeanothanks for the update! 😇
I didn't even try it with the single serving leftovers, but I didn't try it with the Party serving leftovers either. I had a family of 3 that I tested with so I only made Family servings! Granted the glitch happens in your game does happen with the Family size servings, but you do bring up a good point that different serving sizes don't all act the same! 💡
Yes, for some reason traveling with your Sims and back often resets everything! Not exactly a preventative measure, but it is a good workaround! I recommend doing this any time your Sims act funny. It doesn't take much time or effort and it can't hurt! 🙌
This does sound more like a bug since it keeps happening over and over after each time you clear it.🤔 The only way I know of things still messing up from Mods and CC is if you fail to delete the localthumbcache.package file , since leaving it can often mean you are leaving corrupted data behind. But since you did that then that clearly isn't happening here! 🙌
I couldn't' find any existing Bug Reports on this problem (there could be one, but I didn't find it!). You can make a Bug Report on this is you think it is bothersome enough 😉 https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs
In the meantime, Happy Simming! 🥳
