Sim won't cook

Every time I try to cook something, they'll pay for it, take it out of the fridge, then walk to each counter before finally giving up and putting down the try to prepare. I've tried every counter spa...

    Took a lot of digging, but it was the "No auto food grab after cooking" mod by LittleMsSam that was causing the problems.

Ran Sims 4 Studio batch fixes for all CC, still didn't work. Removed all custom beds, sofas, benches, chairs, counters, and fridges. Still doesn't work.

Any other suggestions?

Hi @iowaloha

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
