Hi I’m having a issue where not only will my sims not use the sink or dishwasher to wash dishes they only use the big trash can to throw out the food …but the only way I can get them to eat is if I tell the to “pick up serving” there is no option to call or meal or grab a serving and there is no outdated mods or anything that I can think of I just wanna know if this is fixable?
@haleystinnett Breaking of Mods and CC is not necessarily fixed by them all being updated. It's possible that there was a game update/patch that caused the issue with one of the Mods/CC, and the maker has not put out an update that addressed it. The way to find out if this is the case is to move your Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4] to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder. Then check in a new game save to see if this issue is still occurring. You can test without saving.
And if that was the issue how would I be able to locate which mod would be causing that issues or is that kinda a guessing game type thing? Sorry it took me so long to reply i appreciate you for taking time to try and help
@haleystinnett Following are directions for troubleshooting which Mod(s) or CC are causing the issue:
Exit your game.
Move your Mods folder to your desktop. (Do not delete it – save this for later.)
Restart the game so that it will recreate a new, fresh Mods folder. Do not re-add your Mods/CC, but instead enter the game and begin a new, vanilla (no Mods/CC) game. Enter that new, vanilla game to confirm if the issues are gone. Now exit your game.
If that fixed the issue, now you need to troubleshoot your Mods/CC to find which Mods/CC are causing the issue.
You can test without saving in order to identify which Mods/CC are causing the issue. This can be done by re-adding the Mods one at a time and testing if the issue re-appears... if you only have a small number of Mods/CC.
If you have a large number of Mods/CC, you can use the 50/50 method...
Divide your Mods/CC from the folder on your desktop in half.
Add one of the halves back into the game’s Mods folder. Now re-start the game and see if the issue is still gone in the vanilla/new game-save you made.
If the issue did not re-appear with those added Mods/CC you can try adding the 2nd half from the desktop. If the issues did re-appear, try only adding half of those mods and see if the issue is present in the game…
Continue in this pattern dividing the folders’ contents in half then half again as needed to eliminate in groupings which Mods/CC are causing the issue.
Once you find the Mod/CC(s) that’s causing the issues, check with the Mod/CC creators for updates that may fix the issues.
