@cet49s91tx9h From your screenshot it appears that, as @GiardiniDiMarzo mentioned, you do onto have a counter the Sim can prepare the food on. I know this can be confusing as it was not what I expected when I began on Sims, but I thought it may be of use to note, that a Sim will not prepare food on a dining table surface or any other surface aside from a full-sized/full width (not an end piece/half-width counter), or an inner-corner countertop - or on the side of a island section that has no stool in front of it ind is a full-width island section (not an end section). Furthermore, if that full-sized/full width countertop (or inner-corner countertop - or the side of a island section that has no stool in front of it ind is a full-width island section) has anything that blocks access to the main area of space on it that's needed for the preparation animation/interaction, the Sim will see it as a blocked path. I would recommend removing the items on your countertops and seeing if the Sim will use them, and if she won't, try putting a full width countertop in the middle room, not using MOO or alt-placement, and making sure everything around the countertop is far enough away from it to test that nothing is interfering with the path to using it.
Yeah. That worked. Thanks for responding!
