Issue Description:
When "Have Breakfast," "Have Lunch," or "Have Dinner" are assigned as activities on a Getaway, NPC Sims will not use the stand mixer to prepare meals. The in-game tooltip for these activities indicates that Sims will use the stand mixer and other small appliances to complete these tasks, but in practice, they ignore the stand mixer entirely. Sims may still complete the eating activities using other methods, but the intended small appliance behavior does not function.
Expected Behavior:
According to the Getaway system's tooltip, when "Have Breakfast," "Have Lunch," or "Have Dinner" activities are active, NPC Sims should autonomously use small appliances including the stand mixer to prepare meals. The stand mixer should be recognized as a valid object for fulfilling these meal activities, providing variety in how Sims complete their assigned tasks.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Plan a Getaway using the Getaway Planner.
- Add "Have Breakfast," "Have Lunch," or "Have Dinner" as an activity in the schedule.
- Place a stand mixer on the Getaway lot.
- Start the Getaway and observe NPC Sim behavior during meal times.
- Note whether any Sims approach or use the stand mixer.
Actual Result:
- NPC Sims do not use the stand mixer to prepare meals.
- The stand mixer remains untouched throughout the Getaway.
- Sims may complete meal activities using other means, but the small appliance functionality described in the tooltip does not work.
- The tooltip explicitly mentions small appliances like the stand mixer, creating a mismatch between documentation and actual behavior.
Affected Activities:
| Activity | Stand Mixer Usage |
|---|---|
| Have Breakfast | ❌ Not used |
| Have Lunch | ❌ Not used |
| Have Dinner | ❌ Not used |
Additional Notes:
- This appears to be an autonomy failure where NPC Sims are not correctly recognizing the stand mixer as a valid object for completing meal activities during Getaways.
Impact:
Low to Moderate. While meal activities can still be completed through other means, the bug undermines the Getaway system's promised functionality and creates a mismatch between documentation and actual gameplay. Players who specifically set up their Getaway lots with stand mixers expecting them to be used will be disappointed when they observe Sims ignoring them entirely.
