Hunger and eating logics need improvement
It's nothing new, sims in ts4 are the worst when it comes to eating activities. In a household they can cook multiple dishes, even if there already is served food to grab. If you enter a house at 3 AM, you can be pretty sure that minimum 1 household member is (randomly) busy preparing a group meal, if there is a bbq on the lot, he or she will even be grilling the food - in the middle of the night. Nobody in the house will be asleep, instead their energy level will be pretty green, while they all might be about to satisfy their hunger. 3 AM...
It also annoys me how sims can start cooking a new meal *next to* another sim who is already busy preparing a group meal. Don't these sims ever talk, or see what the others are up to? There need to be improved programming/coding for this. It should not be very difficult to program a code line hint to other sims to see if hungry, before they even walk up to the fridge.
I just entered a house to age up a child. I directed mom to cook a cake. While she was busy doing this, the child walked up to the fridge grabbing a single dish. The birthday kid should definitely be a bit interested in that cake being prepared for him. And even if he had no idea that he was about to grow up, he should think that - hey, chocolate cake coming up, yummy!
When cake was done, I moved it to their dining table. Mom lit the birthday candles. This should definitely be a hint to everyone that some cake eating is coming up *very* soon. Not so. Older brother walks outside to grill something (it's Winter, snowing and windy...), and mom who just prepared the cake rushes off to the kitchen to prepare a group meal!!!
This is too messy to even be charming. It can't be happening in just my game? Please improve their hunger satisfying routines!
