Unable to put harvested items in fridge

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.146.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When you harvest a fruit for vegetable and try to put it in the fridge.
What happens when the bug occurs? The items refuse to go into the fridge
What do you expect to see? When I drag anything that is a food item and generally would go in the fridge, to go in the fridge.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After I downloaded cottage living.

I'm unsure if it is a bug or if it is something I have enabled/disabled but anytime I try to put a fruit or vegetable (any non-perishable item) in the fridge it doesn't go in. I've tried:

  1. dragging the stack.
  2. Doing one at a time out of the stack.
  3. Opening the fridge to drag it.
  4. Just dragging the stack to the fridge like you would dragging something to a sims inventory

I've also tried turning off all my mods and tried, I've disabled CC, Uninstalled and re-installed, repaired and it doesn't seem to work. I do have the simple living lot challenge turned on, however, I went to a different family where I don't have that trait turned on and it is the same thing. I've switched fridges etc..

  • @Obnoxious_Mo Did you try renaming the user folder and deleting the localthumbcache file ? User files are usually not touched when uninstalling
  • @crinrict I don't actually have a file named localthumbcache. I have a file for online. I do have quite a bit of lastCleanException.txt files.
  • @crinrict I can try but the file says its just for an onlinethumbnailcache. should I create a folder for local or change the name for the online?

    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 and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • 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.

  • @crinrict So as it turns out the bug wasn't as intense as originally thought. Apparently my game had a glitch with my sims inventory where anything and everything in it I couldn't place in the world, I couldn't use and I couldn't sell. I basically ended up selling everything off in the inventory and starting over and now it's letting me move the items in and out of the inventory.

    I do want to thank you for taking the time to help me out with everything and trying to figure it out!
