@Sefdancer4life No. It seems like most of the non food inventory items don't go bad. You can still stock your refrigerator with fish and veggies. Like I mentioned in the original problem post for some reason the refrigerator works off the grid. Off the grid shuts down all the appliances. You can still make quick snacks. But, even if you stock take out it might go bad faster. I assume.
If I am not confused more right now. And I don't have time to test. It might be that you actually order medicine by clicking the front door. As you can definitely designate a front door and lock any combination of doors. But, there is a catch to the medicine ordering at the front door. You must be very good friends with the maid. And the maid must come around often. I think that's what might have happened to my Sims.
