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...

@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!
@BrockehPotato, 2 more things: check to see if there is something left in your Sim's oven.🤨 People have reported that this happened to them and that there Sim wasn't able to cook! 😃 Probably isn't your problem since you tried a new stove, but it can't hurt to check! 😉
I also know that you tried your stove in the middle of the room, but did you try your new stove in the middle of the room?
If these don't work , then you can try to delete you local thumb cache & repair your game in Origin.
Go into the Game Folder. Delete the localthumbcache.package file int the game folder .
Log in to Origin. Click on "My Game Library". Then Right-click on The Sims 4. Then choose "Repair" from the list. Wait until all of your packs are fixed (not just the base game).
I know you don't play with Mods/CC now, but if you ever did, it could be a bit of leftover code that is causing the problem. In that case you would need to remove your Mods folder (delete it) and restart the game so it can create a new, empty one. Then delete your localthumbcache.package file and repair you game in Origin as explained above. 😉
Please update me if any of these work or not! Best of luck! 🤞
- Do you have a door way so they can go into the kitchen?
