Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place the Vintage Stove on a lot and chose cooking or baking.
What happens when the bug occurs? Some of the menues are grey out saying "no stove available"
What do you expect to see? to be able to cook all meals again with this stove like before with nothing greyed out.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The stove is party broken since one of the latest two patches. It was still working a month ago when I last played the family with this stove.

‌

All of a sudden all the family members couldn't  cook/bake some meals anymore on the vintage stove. In the menu list it shows several meals greyed out and the baking section is comletly gread out. All these meals been cooked several month ago with nothing greyed out.

When clicking on the greyed out meals, it says that there is no stove available, although there is one.

Partly broken Stove

All members have maximum cooking skills. I then tried different stoves and they all work. I do use CC in my game, but for further tests I removed them and started a brand new game to be extra sure before posting the issue here. Also found that every CC stove that uses these vintage tunings are also affected.

    Feedback:

    So after uninstalling all my S4 games & Origin & removing all leftovers from my comp and re-installing everything from scratch, the stove now works again. Whatever the issue was, I guess we will never know. It's just very bothersome what one has to go through just to fix the game and bugged content. I suppose the thread can be marked as solved.

    @kathryn891No, it's a regular lot with no off the grid trait. This particular stove worked for my Sims all this time and now stopped partly working as I described above. And all the CC stoves whom use this tuning have the same issue.

    @crinrict  yup, I went to an empty lot with one of my Sims, placed that stove, a fridge and a counter for testing purpose and sure enough, food is party greyed out. All other stoves are fine.

    @crinrict Hm, that's a good question I haven't tested. The picture above is the swatch I tested. Must be the first swatch. Will run into game and check the rest of the swatches.

    Ok I tested all 3 swatches and all are the same. If you say that this stove works for you, then I don't understand what else could be the issue. Like I have said, it worked for me the hole time before.

    I have a few CC stoves whom use the same tunings and they have the same issue. For that reason I changed the tunings in one of those CC stoves and the tunging changes fixed it. All food are available again.


    I'm 99% convinced that something is wrong with the tunings from that vintage stove.

    @crinrictdoes it say "there is no stove" when you click on it? 'cause that is the main issue here with mine.

    ETA: will re-install the hole game now since the repair did not help. Maybe that will hopefully fix whatever the issue is here.
