I have already mentioned in the first post that I do not have any mods installed.
Oh I'm sorry, didn't re-read your first message.
Do you have this with every meal? Could you try placing an empty counter right next to the stove?
I have been cooking multiple types of meals but only so far as Level 2. Grilled Cheese, Mac'n'Cheese and Eggs on Toast.
I have also tried cooking a Protein Meal when my Sim was having an Energised Moodlet, but she just plopped it on the ground after having the same "Cannot Path" Thought Bubble.
So far I've been using a Microwave and Coffee Maker without any issues.
I've tried different Stoves (The latest I've tried was the Black Cast-Iron Wood Burning Stove, though it caught fire the first time I used it. "Reliability 8 My *..." I still need to test if this works or not.)
The first two beginner stoves have the same problem I listed above.
I've been trying new refrigerators since the cooking mechanic seems linked to the stove, but nothing seems to shed any light on the issue thus far. Still the same issue regardless of the combination.
EDIT: I've re-read Phantomlover's previous post and tried a solution she offered. I set up a blank counter next to the stove to see if that would work and yes, it works. The Sim cooks the meal and then walks to the adjacent counter to plate the meal before eating.
I will keep testing to verify by adding "clutter" to various nearby counters to see what works and what isnt, but so far, a blank countertop next to the stove indeed works!
If it keeps working I owe you a brew Phantom!
@Sunday-smile01 Sims need some space sometimes to put stuff on. They sometimes think clutter is way bigger than it really is. Happy to hear this is working, hopefully it keep working for you!
