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 have?

Would you be willing to share your save with me ?
If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox,, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.
@BrockehPotato, do you have and changes to what's going on in your game? 🤔 Did you try to have your Sim visit a friend and cook on their stove? Other than that you can
1) attach pictures of your kitchen/stove layout with walls cutaway and walls up , so we can see if we can figure out what is going on.
2) upload your house to the Gallery and inform us, so we can download it and see if we can find anything. Sometimes it is easier to figure something out by taking it apart.😉
3) give your save file to @crinrict to see what she can find. There is a reason @crinrict has the Hero title! :eahigh_file:
4) move your family to a different house. (last measure!)
Hopefully we can figure out what is happening with your game! 🙂🤞
I know that much advice has already been given to you on this issue, but I just wanted to add that sometimes a messy counter, messy oven, lack of counter space, or a kitchen island that is too close can also affect cooking completion.
If if you believe your sims aren’t finishing cooking just because you see no food appear afterwards, then they may be placing it somewhere that you don’t expect, like their inventory or a picnic table. If you believe your sims aren’t finishing because you are actually witnessing them stop, however, then I don’t have much further advice.
I hope you find a way to fix the cooking issue. Good luck!
@PugLove888 @crinrict, I apologize, for I have been rather busy lately. I will try to send you a zipped file on google drive when I am able to as well as try out the tips you gave me.
@MissAmazing903, I see them stop cooking and I get an option to continue cooking
@BrockehPotato, that is understandable! We all get busy. 😃 I just didn't want you to give up if we still had some possibilities as to why this is happening! 😉 You can try the other suggestions, and send Crinrict your file whenever you get the chance. 🙂 Same for uploading your house as a test so some of the helpers who are experienced at building in TS4 can see if they can find anything. (If you do upload the house to the Gallery, be sure to tell us and perhaps include the work "Test" or something like that in the title so unsuspecting people won't accidentally upload it. 😇 )
Take your time, and hopefully we will find out what is going on! 🤞
- It might sound basic but did you try uninstalling the game and reinstalling it, it might be a long process but could work?
@BrockehPotato and @OhRhiannon , if you try uninstalling and reinstalling the game, be sure to back up your Sims 4 folder first!!! This is to make sure you have your saves still intact,.😉 Otherwise, all you hard work could disappear! 😮
@BrockehPotato, I would personally not do this, but if you do, I would only do it if you have tired everything else (like letting @crinrict see your save file) or uploading your house as a test to the Gallery so some of us can find out what is going on). 😇
- Yes I do think uninstalling is a last resort but if it comes down to it it comes down to it.
