My sims won’t eat! At least my household in San Myshuno. There is nothing blocking them, does anyone else have this issue?

Is it just that one household, and do you have mods/cc? I was having the same issue and had to go through my mods folder to find out what was causing the issue. It ended up being three files called banc.package, banc2.package, banc3.package. I have no idea what they are, but that solved the issue for me. Hopefully this helps someone else, because it took me forever to figure out the problem lol

cc counters? lol. I was playing last night and my sim couldn't eat either. Nothing. She'd reset and the food would be on the floor. I figure just about everything was broken by the C&D patch. I had to replace everything in the kitchen.

Yeah. I've removed my bedroom, living room, bathroom, and kitchen cc folders for now until S4S gets a batch fix for them because after I play, I always get a last exception error because of the cc.

Yes I don’t understand why, I’m getting the same error. Maybe if both of us could figure out what object is doing this? From what I've been reading on the forums, it's just about every bit of cc objects. Counters, fridges, toilets, sofas, beds, etc. Anything that a pet can interact with. For me, all I'm going to do is wait for the batch fixes on S4S. There's no point in trying to go through each piece because there's just too many that are broken.

Good Heavens! This has elements of the post patch bugs plaguing Vampires. All seem to revolve around Basic Needs: eating and sleeping for "normal sims;" and for the Undead, unexplained loss of experience points and traits resulting in rapid energy depletion, loss of Odorless Ability (don't ask. lol), and numerous Deaths by Sun Exposure. There are other issues with Vampires but these seem to overlap slightly those in this thread, since Eating and the Sun Immunity Skill have life and death consequences if suddenly lost. And also, as I have read in the posts above, the problems are not limited to players using mods and ccs.

All of this suggests some large underlying problem in the game's primary code that affects every player differently depending on what content they have installed. Vampire issues seem to be rapidly mutating almost like a virus IRL. It's creepy. One day Vampires can no longer crush crystals to extract minerals and elements. The next, garlic no longer protects mortal Sims from attacks. But not every player experiences these things.

Keep a close watch on your Sims' behavior. Make lists of glitches and hiccups to report to the gurus. I haven't purchased the Pets EP yet, and so far, my game is running well. Only NPC and Townie Sims appear to having trouble. Especially the Vampires. But if everybody pulls together and sends technical reports to the Devs, these problems will get fixed much faster than if we suffer in silence.

Good luck and happy Simming :D

After installing cats and dogs my sims have this issue. They take food from the fridge, cook it and when they try to take a portion they drop the food on the floor and stand in a T-position for a second. What I do to keep my sims alive is I take them to a nearby park to grill and eat. Tough times... :D Another problem came along with the expansion and that is that I can't order service anywhere else but in Brindleton Bay. In other places same T-position happens. It's frustrating to get disappointed every single time new pack gets released and they're always somehow broken.

Hello @Angrybird
There has been a lot of cc furniture items broken as a result of the recent patches and new ep pack. These items have been causing the eating issue. Sims 4 Studio has released a new updated version with batch fixes for the cc beds, cc sofas/love seats and cc outdoor benches (2 and 3 seaters), and 6-seat dining tables.

I did everything this way, and still my sims don't eat or sleep and my toddler can't go to a restaurant to eat all the time. Should we wait for another update?

Hello
With your sims not sleeping, it may be caused by pets that you have in the home making noises whilst the sims are trying to sleep. Lecturing the pets has helped other simmers with this issue .
With your sims not eating, try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and test to see if that helps the issues.

I have been playing with that sim family for a while, they don't have pets, but the glitches started when I downloaded the Dogs and Cats pack. I also cleaned the mods folder with the s4s app and still don't want to eat

Hello @tellmeastory95
If you haven’t already done this , try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and test to see if that helps the issues.
Mods may still be causing issues.

If the issues still remain, repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair
Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or " options " file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder.

I), but i don't have any of those type of files in my mods folder, so i am not sure what the problem is, i on;y had this problem when i downloaded cats & dogs,so it is frustrating.

Hello
This can be caused by cc futniture that were broken by the recent game patches.

Sims 4 Studio tool has now updated its program, and has a batch fix that includes fixing the cc items broken by the last patch
http://sims4studio.com/board/6/download-sims-studio-open-version
It would be good to download the latest version and run the batch fix.

Hello @perfectvelvets

Try rearranging the furniture around in your kitchen and see if that helps. Make sure that there is free counter space. Remove any hanging overhead items that may be causing issues in the room,

I tried doing everything you said and it didn't do the trick, but it turns out that the MCC had stopped them from eating so I redownloaded that and it's working perfectly fine now! Thanks for the the advice, I'll use it whenever a future issue comes up.

Hi everyone,

I'm glad I came across this discussion, because I just purchased and downloaded Cats & Dogs and encountered the same issue initially. After backing up my mods and removing the cc sofas, most everything appears to be normal again. Will have to look out for future patches and make sure they don't mess up my cc though.

Posting to say a HUGE 'thank you' for this! I've been playing without my mods and cc ever since Cats & Dogs came out and I've been missing the sims in my cc game so much, but they were going to starve to death if I kept playing with them, lol. S4S worked perfectly (I've never used it before but it was so easy!) and I found some other cool stuff over there, too. Thanks @rosemow ! :)
