Too many Fridges

Unable to cook/cook actions greyed out with message "too many fridges" when there is only 1 fridge on lot

New Update installed
2024 Imac Apple M4
No Mods or CC

  • 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.

    could you test a new save if the same occurs there (on these lots) ?

    Do you have any minifridges or anything else that could count as a fridge ?

    Removed them before update prior to this one. So far, it is on two residential lots in Windenburg and Brindleton Bay, both are big lots 

  • Mfander91​ Did you remove your mods or never have any ?

    DynamicBookworm​ Do you also play without them ? How many fridges do you have ? Does it make a difference if you remove some ?

    What lot type do you both play on ? Does this matter ? Does the same happen in all households/in a new save ?

  • Has anyone else gotten a pop-up saying “This lot has too many fridges for Sims to cook on this stove. Having 2 or fewer fridges on the lot will allow them to cook on stoves and ovens again!”? I think it only appears on the stoves and not the fridges


    I love playing with a household of eight Sims, having at least six human or occult Sims. I enjoy playing with multi-generational households, where each “family” lives in a different section of the house. I often build multiple kitchens with one per “family”. Besides that, I also have a business on the current lot I’m playing with that includes a break room with a fridge.
