Bagged Lunch Bug still in game?

I’m still having this issue too. It’s not your game.

This makes me extremely disappointed in Maxis... I can't believe they are dropping the ball like that. Thanks for confirming it's not my game though I appreciate that.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what was the point of bagged lunches to begin with when sims always eat at work anyway, whether they have something in their inventory or not? The Sims team is probably thinking the same thing, which is why fixing that is so low on their list of priorities. Not that that excuses giving us more and more broken content for an already broken game, however.

If you bag a high quality meal, when they eat at lunch they get the moodlet for eating the higher quality meal right? That was always my understanding of the bagged lunches was so you can give them that extra buff while at work or school.

Also they don't eat at work or school, at least my sims don't. I've noticed that (when it was working) bagged lunches would be used up by noon or so but only if my sims didn't have a full breakfast. It was a great way to get them out the door without having to check off their hungry need. I agree with OP I know a lot of simmers are excited about IL but it's kind of silly to introduce new content to a game that's having issues. I know the issue will be fixed eventually but this just adds to the long list of persistent bugs that go ignored.

I might be naive to say this, but I think most game companies at least make an effort to clear up bugs in their game before releasing new content. I can honestly say I haven't seen much of an effort at all on Maxis's part to clean up their game before asking us to buy their latest DLC, that's REALLY close to a deal breaker for me. I'm hooked on the sims though so I guess I have to live with the incompetence. It's either that or they just don't care about the quality of their game as long as the money is still rolling in, I'm not sure which is worse. Some may think I'm being dramatic, but I'm paying good money for a game that has persistent bugs that seem to be ignored, I think it's fair to demand a little more, I understand that Maxis occasionally fixes a bug in their game, but for every bug that gets fixed there seems to be 2 or 3 that are ignored.

Here's to hoping that someone gets a boot shoved into a very uncomfortable place so they get off their butts and fix their game, and if your listening then fix the action queues so I don't have to repeatedly queue an action before my sim actually does it, yet another bug that has been around forever without getting addressed properly.

They did fix a lot of issues, but they also created a whole heap of new ones lol

That's game development though...fix one thing, break 100. I haven't had too many issues with bagged lunches, just a LE once in a while, but I haven't tried since the patch cause they are pretty much useless in my game, as my sims eat at work/school. *shrug* Might be more useful if my celebrity sims with the food quirk got a bad moodlet from eating nonexcellent food, but none have.

See when you say "That's game development though" you are implying that every game has bugs like the Sims 4. That's simply not true, every other game I've ever played has the "occasional" bug, but they are rare. With other games you may get a bug every few hours for a badly developed game, to every couple of days or so on a well developed game. I'm getting weird bugs in the Sims about every 5 to 15 minutes, that's unacceptable. The pathing system is horrid, the queuing system is horrid, the game simply needs to be fixed, and releasing new content while the game is in the state that it is in is an insult to their customers.

Now I'm starting to rant, I'm going to step away from the forums for awhile to cool off.

Thanks for the replies :smiley:

Sometimes my sims don't have time to eat breakfast so I quickly get them to pack lunch and it will help the hunger bar a lot.
Sure, it kinda does that too even if you don't have a bagged lunch but like sometimes it's just fun to use a feature that's in the game, you know? ?

Also, a lot of the bugs they're fixing are sometimes not that huge or game breaking either. Sometimes it's bugs that I didn't even know is in the game cuz not a lot of people are complaining about it. ?‍♀️
