It's the Allow Stoves mod!
I found the mod that causes the problem for me. Yes, it was a mod that allows stoves - it came as part of a bundle of mods and I'd not thought to check that bundle. Could have saved myself a lot of time if I had.
Ah well. That's life. Hakuna Matata.
As for my rather angry rant: I apologise for the tone. And for the fact that it didn't convey what I wanted it to.
So. Take 2.
I love the flexibility this game usually has. Want to have a male character who can be pregnant? Sure! Want a mage to attack an alien? No problem. Want to control every action your character makes? Easy. Want to set up a situation and then have the characters deal with it while you're completely hands-off? Go right ahead.
But if I want to change the rules of dorm living to allow them to cook properly, I can't.
Why on earth not?
(PS: Culinary Arts is a degree. How are they supposed to practice?)
