[PLEASE POST HERE] Sims can’t cook anymore
Problem
When I tell my Sim to cook something, they refuse to do it. Either they just stand around or they wave as if they can't get to something.
Cause
There are several causes to this...
Forum Discussion
I've been having a problem where my Sim cannot cook. Every time I try to, she starts cooking but then stops halfway. I click to resume cooking, and she acts as if there is something blocking her way. I've tried moving the stove to even the middle of the floor, but she still won't. I've tried reinstalling my game, deleting Origin data folders, repairing the game thru Origin, restarting, and I've been through 3 EA tech support chats, but they couldn't fix it and reffered me here. Please help, my Sim can't live off chips and oatmeal for long 😢

There can be some food left inside the oven. Replace this stove with another one.
Something can block the table on which she prepares food.
Another reason may be that you have CC that has broken this interaction in the game. If you have any mods or CC move mods folder to the desktop and try without it.
I don't work for EA
I don't have any mods or CCs. My game is vanilla, except for 1 free Holiday DLC. I tried replacing the oven, but it didn't help. She still acts like there's something blocking her path.
@ElliePlexi
Did you try to travel with this sim to find if she will have this issue in another house too?
Save your current game using the option "save as" and start a new game with the same sim and some random sim.
You can put in the empty lot only fridge, table and stove to see how it will be work on another lot and in the new save. You can quit this test game without savingUpdate: i just started a new game using my character, it worked
i started a new game, created a random character, built an empty lot and just put a fridge, stove, and counter. that seemed to work for him. now how do i get it to work with my main character? do i need to move to a new lot? or start a new game with her saved character?

I am having the same issue. Not using any cheats, no pets, no counter clutter, nothing. Sometimes it works putting the stove in the middle of the floor, but most times it doesn't work. It happened on two different lots in two different locations.
