Re: No option to cook/bake a cake?

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

    @SirHeavyRice  Here is the method on Sims Wiki, which I hope is in accordance with this forum's age appropriateness:

    It sounds more complicated than it is, as it is just a matter of exclusion in steps.

    Edit: The reference was to Mod The Sims and about linking to it, which is inappropriate as I have been told.

  • 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)

  • @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
