Maid, Pizza and Zoomers not working

Since the last update non of the above services work. Zoomers stands for hours by your door with no animation of delivering food. Food is also not in the sims inventory. Hiring a maid, maid never shows up. Ordering pizza, you get charged for it, with a notification that you took too long and it was left. Pizza is nowhere to be found, plus no pizza delivery person even showed up. The only working service now is the repair man. Not sure about the gardening service (ps4)

    @Simmer_Debbie82 , when the game first launched in late 2014, I always had the pizza delivery act like that!  🤨  So, for years I never ordered pizza in the game!  I finally just tried it again last night, ironically, and for the first time in the game my Sim was able to actually receive and eat a pizza! 😅

    I have not tried Zoomers yet, but I did try the new grocery delivery... but, in a different house I didn't realize the side door to my detached garage was set as the front door.  So when I went to greet the delivery guy, there was no table in the garage for him to place the groceries on so he acted like he set them down in the flower bed, but they just disappeared!  So I set the proper door as the front door, called the grocery delivery again and he went inside and sat the grocery bag down on the table and my Sim was able to get her grocery delivery! 🙌

    While I'm sure you have the correct door marked as your front door, I'm mentioning this because it might be that there isn't a place near the front door that the game recognizes as a suitable place to put down your pizza or Zoomers meals. 🤔

    Not sure about the maid since I don't use the maid in most of my households. 

  • Grocery delivery? Which pack is that?

    Only have a front door and a back door, both with a porch, front door set as front door. But like i said no Pizza to be found.

    @Simmer_Debbie82 , I thought the grocery delivery came with the latest update, but it probably came with the Cottage Living EP.  Both the patch and the EP came out in the same week.  Sorry about any confusion.  But I think if you have the Zoomers meal delivery, then you should have the grocery delivery service. 🤔

    I only mentioned the doors to explain what happened in my game... my point was really to show that if there isn't a nearby surface the game recognizes as a suitable place to put the delivery down, the delivery might disappear.  I mentioned the doors because one of mine was accidentally set to the garage where I didn't have any tables to put the delivery on, so the delivery guy motioned like he was placing it on the ground , but it disappeared.  When I fixed the door to the right one, he went to that door, so there was a place nearby for him to place the delivery on , and there was no problem! 

    About the pizza, what happened to you used to happen to me all the time when the game first was released back in 2014!  This was the first time I was actually able to get my pizza.  So it is still possible to get pizza, but there does seem to be a bug that prevents it from always working. 😥 

    Did you see the links to the Bug Reports in  @puzzlezaddict 's post above? 🤔 There is one for the pizza issue and one for the Zoomers issue.
