RE Help Child Sims bug where Child sims won't eat meals or food and go hungry

Product: The EA app
Platform:PC
Error Report ID (learn how to create an Error Report ID in the sticky post)
Which client functionality are you experiencing this bug with? Other (Please Describe)
Please describe Sims 4 Gameplay problem possibly a bug after installation of new game pack purchase
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 09.02.2024
Summarize your bug After installing Sims 4 Growing together game pack. I notice child sims are starving because when they grab a serving of food or a quick meal out of fridge. They sit but don't eat. When player clicks on meal, it says "clean up" or grab serving but still do not eat. They just sit looking around. I have no mods or cc.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go into Sims 4, click on a household with a child (aged 5 to 12) and try getting them to eat a meal or anything.
What happens when the bug occurs? The child starves and becomes unable to do anything. Just a distraction. Window constantly comes up describing the child will be taken away.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see child sim sit and eat the meal in front of him and hunger level resolved. Also, noticed all sims in the household getting tired constantly.

‌

After purchasing and downloading Sims 4 Expansion pack "Growing Together", I clicked on a new household that came with that pack and noticed the Child sims no longer eat anything causing the sim to starve and window coming up threatening to be taken away from family if they are not able to eat. Never had this problem before until now after installing this yesterday.

    @Zmias1 Did you test multipe saves/househoulds ?

    Did you try deleting all the existing food you have and cooking new ones ?

    Hi 

    Thanks for promptly replying.

    The problem happened with a household that came with the Growing Together pack.

    Yesterday, I checked another household in another world and in another game save and everything seems fine with the child in that household.

    So, now in process of checking Growing Together household in another game save as well and then, re-check problematic household today.

    Btw, deleting and cooking meals didn't help when I initially tried it before posting here.

    @Zmias1 Maybe it's something about the lot then. Try moving stuff around a bit. There have been other similar report like yours

    Update. Upon re-entering the game yesterday. The problem appears to be gone. The household still seems a little buggy in that one of the adult sims (only in that household in one game save) appear to need sleep all the time. Maybe, that will stop too. 

    Also, in regard to the lot. I did adjust the sims in CAS and their residential lot in build before playing that household. But I've done that with all the sims that come with the packs and never encountered an issue. But maybe, in this case, something had to adjust and did so, after I re-started the game or checked other worlds. Idk, lol. 

    Hope it keeps working okay,

    Thanks again!
