Sims no longer eat leftovers?

My sims seem to eat them, but I haven't noticed that some leftovers aren't spoiling. Specifically Mac & Cheese when cooked in a cauldron will never expire and it seems most food cooked on the BBQ won't expire either. Not sure if it's just this save, I haven't played others in awhile to check, this is in an older save though.

The constant cooking:

& leftovers not expiring are current bugs:

I watched one of the sims in a family I was playing - she was in the red on hunger and made 6 meals, but did not eat any of them and there were also leftovers in the fridge. If I had not finally made her eat - she likely would have died of hunger!

After surviving the dreaded white cake debaucle, I took my 2 bffs on vacation to the mountain. They rented the house in the lower neighborhood, and the very first thing one of my sims did was to start cooking food, one dish after another...after he made the third dish I sent him home. This just started, and I don't like it.

Thank you. I've clicked "Me Too" on both. These are super annoying. Especially constant control of hungry sims to redirect them to leftovers.

Mine don't anymore either. One guy prepared four things in a row on his grill until I finally made him sit down to eat. His hunger was red lining.

That’s exactly what my sim does. I play a married couple and the husband doesn’t do this at all. But the wife does this all of the time.

Weird. This has happened in my game as well.

It's been driving me crazy. So much so that I'm taking another break from the Sims 4 and I'm playing my Sims 3 game again. The endless cooking and sims constantly dropping actions. I just can't take it anymore.

My sims are also cooking food leaving it on counters then cooking more food straight after and also getting distracted while cooking, walking away and leaving half cooked food on counters. It's quite frustrating.

Hopefully the next patch will fix these issues.

Yeah I'm having this problem as well. And in my legacy family with around 4 adults at a time it's constant cooking and starving themselves. Randomly they will eat what they make but the fridge is so stocked (makes having a toddler easy) and the counters are full of food. They all are high in cooking skill because of it. I try to get ahead of them to eat leftovers but sometimes I'm too late and they pull out the cutting board thing. Since I cancelled it they walk into the entryway and put the board on the coat rack.
Super annoying.
