Household doesn’t have option to cook on stove and menu grayed out

Today when I played the sims I noticed when I clicked on a stove it didn’t have the option to cook. The fridge had all the options but when I clicked “cook”, everything was grayed out except city living food such as curry. My sim is maxed level. I have a Mac and I noticed this only in one household on a different save. Also my sim won’t finish cooking. I’ve repaired the game which repairs really quick and I don’t skip loading screens which I didn’t even know that was a thing. I honestly don’t know how long it’s been going on so I’m not sure if it’s because of the Star Wars update or not. I tried deleting the furniture and putting new ones but it didn’t work

  • @auhsharria If you hover over the greyed out options, does it give you any indication as to why ? Sounds like something is missing.
  • @auhsharria Hello I am currently having this same issue within my game where I can’t cook. I was wondering if you ever figured out how to fix it?

    @Maniiix1_ Are you play with the simple living lot challenge ? If so, then you need the ingredients to cook.
  • I have the same issue. Most meals are greyed out. I have enough room on countertops, i dont have simple living lot trait, i have "use fresh ingredients" turned off, the right levels etc and nothing will work! i dont know what to do
