My sims won't finish cooking
When I try to get my sims to cook they begin cooking but stop and won't finish cooking, even when I order them to do so they won't finish cooking. Is this a location problem or the type of oven I hav...

@BrockehPotato, a few questions first:
1) Do you play with Mods or Custom Content (CC)? 🤔 Outdated Mods/CC can cause a lot of problems in your game even if your Mod/CC doesn't seem to be related to your problem! 🤨
2) Does this happen with all the Sims in the household that are old enough to cook?
3) Does this happen in other households (either within the same Save Game or in a different Save Game?)
4) Is something perhaps blocking your oven or counter? Be sure to check walls and windows if they are above or near the stove/counters. This often happens if items were placed using the move objects cheat.
Also, sometime Sims can get temporarily glitched. Often a quick trip to a different lot (friend's house, park, nightclub, etc.) and then back home can fix this. :eahigh_file: For more drastic measures you can also move the family out and then move them back in.
Also, If you use Mods or CC I can help you try to see if an outdated/broken Mod or item of CC is causing the problem, but I will wait to see if you even use them first. 😉
Please update us ! 😇 Best of luck!
@PugLove888, I have no mods or custom content installed. All sims in my household are old enough to cook and won't continue cooking no matter which one it is. This only happens on one of my saved games and on both saved games, nothing at all is in the way of the oven. No lights or anything are on the roof in front of the oven and nothing is on the wall except for the oven hood, which is basically on the roof but shouldn't obstruct the oven at all. I tried moving my sims and bringing them back and it didn't work either. I haven't used any cheats in either of my saved games either.
@BrockehPotato, you could try to move your oven to the middle of the room or into another room to test if that fixes it. There could be something invisible blocking it.🤨 You can also try a new stove, but I don't think that is as likely to work.
I'm checking with some other helpers, and if they can think of anything I haven't already thought of, I will let you know! 😉
@PugLove888, I already tried moving it to the middle and getting a new oven but that didn't work either.
@BrockehPotato, maybe if you can describe exactly what happens. For example does the cooking action stop once they reach the stove or does the action stop while they are still prepping on the counter?
One helper reported to me that one time their Sims couldn't cook because the ceilings were too low! 🤨 I've never heard that one before! 😃 Another person said that they had problems with a light above the stove or counter (I don't remember which). Another person had problems with canceling an action at the stove (their Sim was brewing an herbal remedy) and later no other Sim could cook and they didn't find out why until they zoomed in on the stove and found the herbal remedy!
