Meals Missing!

Hi I've noticed meals are missing from the options on the Fridge and Stove. (Maybe Microwave too I didnt see Ramen in the list)

- Grand Meals are completely blank

- there are no level 5,6,8 or 10 items in cook

-a handful of other level items are also missing (cant list exactly what)

-also items from gourmet menu are missing too.

I tried repairing my game, resetting sims and checking my CC.

If anyone has any ideas or are suffering the same problems PLEASE let me know its driving me crazy.

    Hi @PixieNyx92 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    I've noticed this too recently.

    I think it's most likely a mod for me.

    When I started a new game the grand meal options were there (with the other higher skilled meals) but with my mods in its not.

    Does anyone know a quicker way to test which mod(s) is/are problematic OR does anyone know which mod(s) could be causing this issue?

    Thanks!

    UPDATE

    Did it the good old fashioned way.

    It's a LittleMsSam mod, specifically More serving Options mod
