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 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! 🤞
@PugLove888 @V8CuckooFlower, no matter where any sim in my household is (Even right next to or in front of the oven) it won't continue cooking. The is a doorway into the kitchen and nothing is obstructing the way into the kitchen and to the oven. When my sim is cooking, they stop either half way done or almost done and show a bubble over their head with footsteps leading to a red X. Then no matter where, when or who tries to continue they will make that bubble appear over their head. And nothing is in the oven I am currently using. The sims even cancel everything they are doing to continue cooking but then reveal that the cannot. Every time a sim fails to continue cooking I tell them to clean up and they are able to do that but not able to continue cooking. Then I try to cook something else or the same thing but the whole process loops again. Also I only recently downloaded the Sims 4 and don't even know how to add mods to the game.
@PugLove888, deleting localthumbcache.package and repairing did not work and nothing has changed.
