Obsession with white cake

Same here, it's annoying. Pls fix

OMG finally there's someone else with this problem. I built a house for my sim family of 8 people and so it has a massive kitchen with a lot of counter space. I took one of my adult sims to go to the house of another sim and when I came back, all of my sims (apart from one toddler sim and one child sim) had filled up all of my counters AND THE FLOOR with White Cake or ingredients for white cake and instantly I was like WHAT and I stopped them all from doing that and I made them do other things around the house. However, about 30 seconds later, they had all self-cancelled that and were back to obsessively making white cake. Not joking, it made me want to burst into tears! Heheh :)

My working theory is that sims heard the song "Still Alive" and figured that if you never run out of cake, you'll always have a reason to keep on trying. The science never seems to get done, though.

I haven't had this issue with white cakes. However, since the latest patch has come out, the fires that I have randomly keep setting fires to my Sims/living rooms. Has anyone else had this issue? My Sims are always saved but it's still irritating having it happen. They never used to.

@lexiiiiplayssims it is probably the Foodies Unite N. A. P.
You can either have your sim repeal the NAP in-game, or you can disable NAPs altogether if you don't like them.
(Some people have reported issues with disabling NAP effects, maybe do some googling or look at the Answers HQ site if you have those issues.)

You can toggle NAPs in settings so that only the ones you vote for take place.

I was THIS close to buying Eco Lifestyle, because I think it's a cool concept and I'm getting closer to having a full TS4 collection. Then I saw this thread had been updated with more reports of excessive white cake baking, so I pressed "pause."

If you don't cancel out Foodies Unite, are you going to get obsessive baking?

And how do these poor, beleaguered Sims decide which of their obsessions to indulge? Do they bake white cake, grill other meals, drink water, use a computer, dance, do pushups, or mess around with their phones? :)

There's a lot to be said in favor of just disabling NAPs entirely, because it's not like the overall enjoyment value of the pack suffers without them. Kind of like lifestyles (which came with the free patch at the time) and Snowy Escape. There aren't a lot of packs that didn't bring an annoyance along with the good—those that succeeded on that front are beloved for good reason...

Just disable the NAPs in settings. This EP in particular does offer some nice advantages, such as bringing your bills down to zip. And if you disable NAPs but, say, want only a few certain NAPs active, you can do that. The NAPs that pass are the ones only you vote for.

@Gamer_34567544 Thanks for the information! I'm glad I can disable some/all of the NAPs, because the forum seems to be full of stories about how some of them wacked out people's saves in various ways.
