Sim eating too fast

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.75.125.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Expansion Packs: Seasons, Get Together, City Living, Cats and Dogs, Discover University, Get Famous, Island Living Game Packs: Dine Out, Parenthood, Vampires Stuff Packs: Tiny Living
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I tell my sim to go eat (fridge, grill, cafe, restaurant, anywhere)
What happens when the bug occurs? Hunger bar increases dramatically or barely ( I tested with quick meals and regular meals you can cook ).
What do you expect to see? When I tell any sim to go eat, they will eat in exactly 2 or 3 bites which fills the hunger bar all the way or just very little. The food also disappears in 2-3 bites which I know isn't normal because sims eat a lot slower.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I have removed all the custom content I installed to check if the issue would stop, but it seems like the mods (Script and CC) weren't the case.

Before this, I recently bought Get Together, Parenthood, and Tiny Living as a pack to save money, but I didn't play the Sims 4 on my PC ever before. I made a sim and had her eat some food from the fridge and I saw that her food on the plate disappeared in 2 bites as well as her hunger bar increasing dramatically. I've played the sims before on my Mac and I know for a fact that sims do not eat that fast even if they aren't talking or doing another activity in the process. I went to a cafe which was newly added on to my gameplay from Get Together and saw the issue was still occurring. I tested with quick meals and regular meals, but nothing made a difference. Only sometimes does a regular meal barely increase the hunger bar, hence my sim eating another meal which is seriously annoying. 

My last resort was repairing the game from Origin and the issue still didn't disappear.

    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All but the throwback fit kit
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Sims eat way to fast only three or less bites, they don't have enought time to talk with family and enjoy eating with family because it's over after three bites Also no pause to talk when eating either 
    What happens when the bug occurs? No eating at dining parties, dates, or just family sitting together at a table to eat it's awful
    What do you expect to see? that doesn't happen to my toddlers but to my normal sims
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
    Please describe the patch or change you made. I don't remember the date but it wasn't always like this please jelp my sims be a family again when eating they need more time together

    Sims eat way to fast only three or less bites, they don't have enought time to talk with family and enjoy eating with family because it's over after three bites

    @Kiyshuni I'm merging this with the feedback thread as this was changed on purpose a few patches ago.

    I'm honestly surprised that people don't like the faster eating. 

    Okay, family meals with full autonomy are.... impossible.  Literally, grand meals at holidays I have one Sim cook (I'm going to change that to the whole family cooking now that this exists!) and micromanage all the other Sims rushing to the fridge to get Quick Meals while the chef cooks a Harvestfest Turkey.  ("No!  Go play video games! Dinner isn't ready!"   "NO! your sister is cooking, go... go... go run on the treadmill."  "Oh for crying out loud, your daughter is cooking, will you just... Go up four flights of stairs and then read a book, thanks.")  I can see how if you actually manage family meals you might like the slower pace, but...

    ...but for a single Sim raiding the fridge for leftovers before work, it's like.... you have TWENTY MINUTES can you just EAT IT don't just take a single bite and then stare into space for ten minutes!  EAT IT EAT IT OMG EAT IT!!! okay you're late to work now just go.  For crying out loud!

    I particularly hated the "scrape the fork across the plate in slow motion... exclaim about what a wonderful cook you are! stare into space for ten minutes... scrape the fork across the plate in slow motion... exclaim about what a wonderful cook you are again!" thing, ARGH!  No "Pan a dyola!"  No "Moh le bye!"  Just EAT IT.  EAT IT EAT IT EAT IT EAT IT EAT IT EAT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    But again, if your Sims are actually capable of family meals despite their goldfish with ADHD attention span... you might have liked the pace. 

    I don't know if they can do different eating paces based on context (family meals vs. single sim eating).  I honestly don't know how much coding would be involved in that.
