Re: gourmet menu blank
@kiradarkstar I'm really sorry for failing you here. I could not replicate the issue in my game. The only two times my sim could not cook gourmet meals were when electricity was unavailable; power out from unpaid bills, "off the grid" lot. In both cases, I couldn't even open the gourmet cooking menu because that requires electricity. If the issue isn't caused by mods or cc and repairing doesn't help, then I'm really not sure what it could be. The only other thing I can suggest is maybe a full clearing of the cache files. There are several posts / articles about how to do this but I like this one on Carl's Guide.
The Sims 4: Clear Cache, Manage Saves & Fixing Broken Games (carls-sims-4-guide.com)
That one also has links to other potentially useful tips, including how to do the factory reset / reinstall.
