No option to cook/bake a cake?

The baking a cake option doesn't come up in my game for the Sims 4.

I don't know why. I can cook everything else fine but when I try to make a cake ,there is no cake available to bake. Please help if you know why. Or do I just need a much higher cooking level to bake one?

My sim has level 5 cooking and level 3 gourmet cooking yet still no cake. I don't know if a mod would be doing this or if it's just something I don't know.

    Do you have any Mods or CC? If so move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game.

  • Found the problem it wasn't a mod at all. Its certain stoves that don't work, it wont allow you to make food it states no stove available. Must be an issue with the patch. I deleted that stove bought the same stove and didn't work. Then bought another stove that was different and that one worked. Tried other stoves as well and some worked and some did not. For clarification the stoves I am talking about are not custom content but came with the game.

    @SirHeavyRice Ooh, I would be very careful when replying to old threads. There's a word for replying to threads that are more than a month old, and that is Necroposting. Moderators hate that, so..... yeah. Keep that in mind.

    @Thekey2244 I can tell you were desperate. Not a good idea to post out of desperation. (Trust me. I've done that before, and more often than not, I would get ignored immediately.)

    Also, did you take your mods folder out and test it without CC? Sometimes even that can be the case, even if it's just a default object having issues. 

    If certain stoves still don't work even after mods have been taken out and the cache has been cleared, then it's either SUPPOSED to work like that, or it's just another bug..... disguised as a restriction. 😉 (Just a thought lol)

  • Um... so I was having a similar issue, except in my case, the options to bake a cake DO show up, but they are greyed out because "There is no available oven" (what it says in the tool tip when you hover over the greyed out cakes).

    I am already doing a half-&-half test myself to find the culprit. (I prefer calling it half-&-half instead of 50-50, cause half-&-half sounds WAY easier to me even though they literally mean the same thing) I'll update when I find the culprit. Stay tuned.

    Edit: .....and done! It looks like WhosAsking's 'Already Upgraded' mod is the culprit here.

    And it doesn't look like it's officially updated yet, so that's out of commission for now.

  • @Epierc32 Post out of desperation? I shouldn’t even respond to this but maybe people don’t respond to you b/c of the way you talk to them. I’ve played sims since 2000 I know about all the tips to try and find the culprit I did those before seeking outside assistance. Glad you found what was occurring in your game. Happy simming
