Bought Cottage Living What Happen Serve meal option?

@PreFireTheDaBest Sorry for your frustration. If you don't mind I will show what I see in my game for a few of the cooking directional steps to see if this is what you see. My options may or may not have additional choices since I own all packs:

• If I click on the grill first I see this set of options:
  
  
  
• If I click 'Grill' (above), I then get two layers of options:
  
  
  
  
  
• If I click the stove I see these options:
  
  
  And if I click 'Cook' (above) I see these options (and more as you scroll down):
  

Is this what you see in your game? I just wondered since I don't see it as a 'big box UI', so I wondered if yours is showing the same thing. Could you share a screenshot of what you see? 

I do see what you mean about some of the cooking menus being layers deep and sometimes a bit overwhelming. I think it would be nice if there was an option of selecting which dishes you do or do not want to show on your pie menu, as I usually fix the same group of meals - in game and in real life. That way if players wanted a custom selection of options for certain menu items they could choose them (maybe in gameplay options or something - with boxes to tick next to what you want to show, so you could change it later if you like?)

Anyway, if your options are coming up in a different UI, do you have Mods/CC? If so perhaps something in them is causing a conflict since CL (Cottage Living)? Since this occurred after installing CL you may also want to try a couple of things:

1. Do a game repair (directions in spoiler tag):

   How to run a game repair:
   
   • Open Origin, click ‘Game Library’ then right-click Sims 4 > Repair Game
   • Let it run until it has completed all repairs (it will do the base game first, then run through each of your DLCs (Expansion Packs, Game Packs, Stuff Packs and Kits).
2. If you have Mods/CC, and the above does not address the issue, you could try removing them and the cache file to see if this fixes it (directions in spoiler tag):

   Move the Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4] to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder. Then check in a new game save to see if this issue is still occurring.
