    Hi all,

    This is currently as designed- having more than 2 fridges on your lot will not allow you to cook.

    If you're seeing this error, you'll need to remove some of the fridges on your lot.

EA_Solaire​ I'm a bit perplexed by a refrigerator limit of 2. I can think of four examples of times I may add more than two refrigerators on a lot...

  1. I occasionally add two refrigerators in the kitchen in a household with serious cookers (especially if one or more is currently working on an aspiration where they cycle through a lot of cooking in queue), as this can help prevent either the cooker or another household member (or the ranch hand or butler - or even some non-household sims who access the refrigerator) from blocking each other's actions, which sometimes leads to chaos or problems... Plus if they have a basement or other area on the lot where they entertain I sometimes add a mini-fridge there. So, in this case that would be 3 refrigerators. Do you mean they will now not be able to cook on the lot?
  2. I am currently working on a lot that will have three small homes on the same lot. I was figuring it would work for use as rental units, cabins (for a large household's vacation rental), or to play a household with the goal of including a roommate in one home or merged family members who have shared areas with separate housing for their own kitchen/small living room/bedroom. In this case each of the three small homes has it's own kitchen - and I may even want a mini-fridge in a backyard 'covered area with a table and grill' for common use. So, can I assume this lot will not be functional now to cook in?
  3. I have several homes with a home business on the lot where they sell cooked/baked goods. In this type of home I will frequently add two refrigerators in the home's main kitchen(for the reasons stated in #1), plus I may add a basement kitchen room under the business/store room where employees can also cook/bake items for the home business.
  4. Can I assume that rental property is not affected by this restraint? For instance, I previously made a townhouse with three units on it. Would cooking still work in that case?

I'm very glad I saw this post, as I would have been tearing my hair out trying to figure out what's going on.
