Hello Crinrict, Thanks for getting back to me, it's appreciated. 🙂
I was just able to start a game in a Fresh Save and everything was fine with the Coffeemaker - had my sim make several batches of coffee and all worked as it should. 🙂
I'm guessing the issue in my Old/Original Save must be coming from a CC Toaster I had at one point and recently removed due to 'issues' that started with it not working right. I know that the 'coffee issue' came up after the 1.71.86.1020 patch and when I removed the Toaster in some houses, the coffeemaker worked fine for awhile until it started with the 'issue' it's having now.
I just hope that the issue in my old/original save that I actually play works this issue out and my sims can drink coffee again normally without my having to put the coffeemaker in and out of the Household Inventory so they can. I did make sure to remove the Toaster and (I think) all of its files, but oddly I'm still seeing the toaster in some places and delete those as I find them; I didn't put it in too many places, but don't exactly recall all the places, so when I find them I delete them. I'm guessing that may be the culprit and the reason for this 'coffee issue'.
Hello Crinrict, 🙂
Yes, I've deleted the localthumbscache file; I do that before startup each session as a 'precautionary' step. 😉
You know, the idea of it being the 'area' around the coffeemaker makes sense. I remember early on with this 'toaster / coffee issue thing', that I was shuffling around the kitchen appliances because some appliances, such as the microwave, didn't want to work properly IF it was near that toaster, so I ended up putting the toaster by itself on a counter section across the kitchen! haha
OH MY! I just rechecked my files again to make absolutely SURE I deleted ALL the files and guess what? I missed the ACTUAL Toaster file itself! : O All the files for the toaster (the food files) had the same type of 'file name' and the toaster itself had some obscure file name that didn't match the 'file naming scheme' of the other files, so I completely missed the actual toaster when I deleted the files from the Mods folder. :\
Well, hopefully now all will be rectified and back to normal. My poor sims Need their regular morning coffee to start the day and it's been troubling for them and me! haha
I will test this out when I get a chance and I will report back to let you know if the 'coffee issue' is gone. 🙂
Many Thanks Again, 🙂
