So apparently at present, there are certain foods that toddlers will eat and others that they will not. So I want to make a list of foods that are safe to feed toddlers until this problem is fixed. This is NOT an error thread so please Go Here to Add Your Me Too. Toddlers WILL eat:Vegetable DumplingsRoast ChickenMac and CheeseButternut GnocchiBLT Sandwichpancakesomeletssconesbreadbagelsfruit saladgrand breakfastfish tacosgrilled cornCioppino (spelling?)Spinach Frittata Breakfast ScrambleToddlers WILL NOT eat:Herb-Crusted SalmonSpicy food from like the stallsBombadier cricket stir fryfrog hotpotoff the grid stew one (anyone know what it's called?)Garlic Noodlesvegetable tempuraBlackened BassChicken Stir Fryfish grand mealPan Fried TilapiaSome Toddlers WILL eat:Taco CasserolePhoRamenSeaweed RamenMiso RamenEgg RamenSome Toddlers WILL NOT eat: I'll add more as they're discovered and I know I have more that they can't eat but have to wait until I can feed them again before I can figure out which ones there are.EDIT: I forgot to ask that you add any foods that you find your toddlers will or will not eat so I can add them to the list. Also, these foods aren't guaranteed to work or not work so if you try one that's listed that they will eat and it doesn't work, post in the comments and I'll change its list. If no foods work for your toddler that may be a different issues all together.

There’s a similar bug thread here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Toddlers-missing-option-to-eat-some-foods/m-p/9304430#M148022Toddlers won’t eat handheld foods that don’t have a plate, like cupcakes, muffins or siaopo. There are a few more I can’t think of. My current toddlers will eat pancakes, omelets, scones, bread (though it’s not very filling), bagels, fruit salad, grand breakfast and much more off the top of my head. I did notice they won’t eat herb-encrusted salmon as you noted, and I’m sure there have been others I am not thinking of right now. ETA: Shish kabobs

They won’t eat any spicy food from like the stalls where the spice festival’s are.

Mine would not eat the fish grand meal. Also whatever I tried to feed her previously, which has a high probability of having been fried fish (Sulani household with mom in the Angler Ace aspiration) but I don't actually remember because it was yesterday.She did eat the meal before that, but I don't remember what that was.I repaired the game in between the two meals she didn't eat and it didn't help. It seems (visually) like as soon as she starts the reaching for her plate interaction she resets to an idle animation instead.

Yeah, just noticed this - toddlers won't eat hardly any meals made with fish (they will eat fish tacos, but not an other fish meals my sims made) - bit of a problem when living off the grid and cooking fish a lot!

I just added Garlic Noodles to the list as well however I was sure that earlier they would eat them. Can someone confirm whether their toddlers can eat Garlic Noodles please? Thanks. We'll get this all sorted together!

Though maybe some toddlers are just picky and won't eat certain food and thats just a thing the game does.. Not all toddlers in IRL like everything they are given.

No this seems different. They seem to reset when they are supposed to be taking a bite. There are no negative reactions or anything like you'd expect if the game meant for them not to want to eat it.

But to say they won't eat fish mine do I am pretty sure I have given them the herb salmon before to. I mean they eat the grand meal fish. So I am just saying maybe some of them are just picky the only thing I know they won't eat is any of the spicy food from San Myshuno.

Good info. Would you be willing to try to feed them herb salmon. You said you're pretty sure but we need a definite please. Also, you're sure about the grand fish meal? If so, I'll move them both to another list.

Edit: The reason I ask about the herb salmon is because I've got 5 toddlers and absolutely everyone of them just sit holding the plate. They are all extremely angry from hunger but yet won't eat it. As well as the other foods on the list. If it was just some toddlers don't like it, then at least 1 or 2 in my family of 5 toddlers would eat at least 1 of those foods.

This is new in my game. I had two bugs with my Winterfest fish grand meal - the toddler didn't eat any of it despite holding it in her lap as though she wanted to, and no one got credit for the grand meal holiday tradition for eating it. Both show up in the Bug reports in the help section. This is all since the December patch for sure, I don't think I played any toddlers between the November and December patches to compare, but I have never had this problem with any dish with toddlers before.
