food items showing up as purple with question mark, no mods.

After the update some recipes in the sims are showing as purple in the selection menu after hitting cook on the fridge/stove, for example the mac and cheese and the garden salad displayed in the photos. this is with no mods installed or even enabled in my game, repairing my game within the EA app, no gshade or reshade.

  • @strawbairie  Please clear the EA App's cache and repair again.

    If that doesn't help, please test in a clean user folder.  Move the entire Sims 4 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, and when you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content.  (Your saves and other content will be intact in the folder you moved but temporarily not read by the game.)  Don't add anything to the new folder yet; just start a new save and see how these foods look.

  • That’s a great discussion about building a food delivery app like UberEats! What makes these apps truly successful isn’t just the tech it’s understanding what users crave. People now expect visual, accurate menus and transparent pricing before they order, which is exactly what platforms like Olive Garden Menu with Prices 2025 focus on. They showcase complete menus with pictures, calories, and catering details, offering inspiration for integrating real-time restaurant data into your app. Features like photo-rich listings and nutrition insights can really elevate user engagement and trust in a food delivery experience.
