I had the same issue, so I tried removing mods and CC but that didn't fix it. Apparently, the game was labelling flour, sugar and other ingredients as debug. Repairing my game did the trick 🙂

I have had no problems using the Simple Living lot challenge with the new stand mixer as you can see from this screenshot. I did remove all my mods before I installed both the update and the pack and I also made sure to delete my localthumbcache file and repair my game after both. However, I've never used any big cooking overhaul mods which I've heard may still cause issues if they aren't removed properly. Have any of you ( @kjenkers @Misere67 @webblesemamwe ) used any cooking overhaul mods?
I play on PC, game version 1.101.290.1030, have all the packs except the Modern Menswear kit and am currently playing mod and cc free.
Best regards,
Jennifer
