gourmet menu blank

I went to make a cake from the gourmet menu but it's empty of everything except for one salad, my Sim has gourmet cooking level 10 and has made cakes before but now it's gone. I tried right clicking on sims 4 from origin menu and hitting repair, yet still nothing.

  • @kiradarkstar Hi There 😊 Ok so I haven't experienced this before but I do think u need try this first. Before u launch the origin client (the launcher) do the following.
    1.click start button on ur desk top (depending on what windows u use this may vary)
    Click ur (documents) file. U will then see a file that says (Electronic Arts) once u see this file : 2. Double click on the (Electronic Arts) file and open it u will then see a file that's says (THE SIMS4) 3. Once u have found this file u then do the following:

    A: Right click on the file and click copy. Then go to ur Desktop any where and Right Click On the desktop and then Click PASTE. (RENAME that file TO THIS (copy The sims 4).

    B: Go back to THE SIMS 4 FILE Under (Electronic Arts FILE)that u have just copied and pasted on ur desktop and RIGHT CLICK And delete it. (Note: only delete the sims 4 folder once u have alrdy copied it to ur desktop ) other wise u might lose all ur info and savings .

    C: once u are certain that u have done these steps propley u may empty ur trash bin. (Recommend before following my next steps)

    D: Go to the (Copy The Sims4 ) File on ur desktop and right click it and copy it again. Go Back to Documents and double click and open The Electronic Arts FILE. u will notice u don't have a sims 4 file . u now,do the following:

    E:Right Click there and click PASTE. THEN RENAME THAT File to The Sims 4.

    4. Lastly now close ur files and launch ur origin launcher and go to ur library and click the sims 4 game and then click the Gear/settings littl button (where u can repair ,update etc . U THEN CLICK REPAIR AND WAIT TIL ORIGIN HAS,DONE ITS JOB THEN. GO TO UR DESKTOP AND RENAME UR COPY THE SIMS 4 AND ADD THE DATE U DID THIS. THEN I SUGGEST SHUTDOWN UR PC AND TURN IT ON. AND Lunch the game let me know if it works.

    All these steps is to help stop bugs. And help woth gliches etc.Hope this helps u. 🐎😎🌻🦋🍀

    Getting this too with one specific lot/household. Other lots/households work fine, and this one used to work too. Not quite sure what happenned. It's not CC related as it still happens with no CC, and other lot/household are unaffected. My only hunch is a platter of sushimi that went missing. It was on one of those asian style table that's close to the floor, and the floor was on a patform. I did a 'flatten terrain' and things got moved arround and some kicked to inventory. Not sure if any of this is related to the glitch but it felt like I was asking the game a little too much.

    I'll try moving out and back in to see if it fixes the issue. I don't want to bulldoze my hard work. 

  • I was just having this same issue. And when you mentioned bills not being paid, I checked to see if my sims bills were paid. Turns out they weren’t. Thankfully the menu popped up right away after paying the bills. And this is with having simple living on.
