Sharing Prepared Meals in the Gallery?

I have an old retail lot. I made it to sell groceries way back when GTW first came out. It had many of the more difficult meals in the game prepared with the best quality. I am currently making another grocery store and I didn't want to go through the hassle of having to cook individual meals and wait until I get that perfect quality. So I decided to save the room with the food in it from the other grocery store into my library and then move the display cases into the new grocery store. Then I would only have to make the missing meals from other packs.

The problem is that it didn't save the food. It only saved one meal, the ambrosia...thank goodness because that one is a pain in the rear. But does anyone know if there is a collection of prepared meals or if I'm doing something wrong saving the room? I know I've shared houses with prepared meals on the table before and the food is still there when you download it. The food is in the lot after I downloaded it, but when I save it as a room, only the ambrosia is there.

  • You could either buy the food and then put it in the fridge on the other lot you want to make a grocery store. Or just plop a copy of the lot and then build the new lot over it while you keep the stoked fridges. I wasn't aware there is a bug with food in rooms, I downloaded quite a lot of baked dishes and ambrosia that way.
  • I didn't realise you could *ever* get dishes from saved rooms and assumed that was deliberate.
  • @simsoon - I think it's a bug because fully prepared meals do get shared if you upload a whole house. And every single time I tried to save the prepared food in a room, the ambrosia meal was the only one that stayed. That tells me that food should be able to stay and it's disabled for whatever reason, except the ambrosia.
