Coffeemaker Pie Menu Missing 'Grab A Drink' Option

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.71.86.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Seasons, Cats & Dogs, Get To Work, Discover University, Get Together, Island Living, City Living, Get Famous, Snowy Escape, Parenthood, Dine Out, StrangerVille, Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Realm Of Magic, Vampires, Toddler Stuff, Laundry Day, Luxury Party Stuff, Vintage Glamour Stuff, Movie Hangout Stuff, Tiny Living Stuff, Backyard Stuff, Spooky Stuff, Nifty Knitting Stuff, Cool Kitchen Stuff, Paranormal Stuff, Bust the Dust Kit
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Buy a Coffeemaker and make Coffee then try to use the Coffeemaker as usual; taking cups of coffee and drinking them. Then fully upgrade the Coffeemaker and try again; have sim make a pot of coffee and see if they can 'grab drinks' from the coffeemaker. For me, the issue happens on BOTH Fully Upgraded and Non-Upgraded Coffeemakers. The only way I've found to work around this issue, after testing numerous Coffeemakers both Fully Upgraded and Non-Upgraded, is to put the Coffeemaker into the Household Inventory, then switch back to Live Mode and then go back into the Household Inventory and put the Coffeemaker back into the world. After doing this, the 'Grab A Drink' option is restored in the Coffeemaker Pie Menu and my Sims can drink coffee.
What happens when the bug occurs? When the bug occurs the Sim will just stand there after the Pot of Coffee is finished brewing and not automatically pour a cup when the brewing is finished as they usually would. Clicking on the Coffeemaker shows that the option to 'Grab a Drink' is missing from the Coffeemaker's Pie Menu and the only options in the Pie Menu are: Empty and Upgrade, no 'Grab A Drink'. No other sims can 'grab a drink' either.
What do you expect to see? I expect that after brewing Coffee in the Coffeemaker, sims will be able to actually 'grab a drink' of coffee from the coffeemaker and drink it.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Updated to Patch: 1.71.86.1020

   

  • @WvMISKAvW Tested this. Made 5 badges of coffee and each time the option was there.

    Could you test a fresh save (with no mods) to see if the same happens there ?

    @WvMISKAvW   What solved it was to sell the coffee maker and buy a new one. When that one was upgraded the problem did not resurface. Since it was in my play save I did not test it further, and so I don't know why the issue occurred in the first placed, except that objects sometimes get defunct like this, no matter it being a cooffee maker, or upgraded etc. So mentioning the shelves was only trying to map the things that could interfer; not specifically blame them. 🙂

    Hello Again Crinrict, 🙂

    Well, I don't think sending you my Save file will be necessary at this point. I decided to Uninstall then Reinstall the game. Since my last post, I purchased the Fitness Stuff and the Throwback Fit Kit and noticed some aspects of those two new packs were missing completely, so I thought it would be best to just Uninstall/Reinstall and that seems to have fixed those issues and the Coffeemaker troubles too. After 8 months of playing, it was probably time for that type of overhaul/refresh anyway. 🙂

    Many Thanks for All your Help through this problem, it's appreciated. 😉

    Regards,

    ~Miska
