[BH] Can't grab food after use Secret Spice perk

Could you please provide the following information

• Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
• Is this the only Sim you're having issues with ?
• Do you have any LastException files in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 ?
  • Delete the ones you have
  • Trigger the error again
  • Check if new ones are created
  • If that is the case, please copy/paste the content here. You can open the file with any text editor.

Deleting the file won't fix your issue. Posting the info is meant for troubleshooting. 

I'm also getting this when using the Secret Spice mastery perk on Excellent!! quality baked goods to make them Impeccable quality. Here's the last exception file:

Playing on Mac, neverCC. This has happened with a Baked Alaska and a regular chocolate cake. But the sim has been able to make other foods with the Secret Spice mastery perk and not have trouble eating it, such as omelets.

True! I discovered it yesterday when my Sim get 10 in Cooking skill. 

I'm playing the Norwegian version of Sims 4. When I use the Mystery Perk - Secret spice, the sim refuse to eat the food. I don't know if other has the same problem. 

I never use mods or cc. I have tried moving the food to multiple surfaces, surfaces that have nothing else on them. It was working for weeks in the save I'm currently playing, nothing was changed to the lot / house / sim, I didn't switch saves or anything, then suddenly today my sim wasn't able to pick up or grab a serving anymore. I tried resetting my sim, when that didn't work I restarted the game, not sure what else to try.

Wanted to add sim also cant pack into a lunch either. The sim walks towards the food, gets into position as if grabbing then the action just cancels and no serving is taken. No error, no waving sim with thought bubble that they cant reach it or anything like that.

Hi Sinafey​ 

Does your Sim have the secret spice perk ?

Hi Crinrict

Yes my sim does have the spice perk, but I was able to pick up slices when she had it before, just not now. The only thing that I can think of that has changed is that she achieved her first level of souls journey. It wasn't something I was working on or know much about, it just happened in the background.

I tried not using secret spice and I can pick up servings again. I can use secret spice on a single serving but then I have to wait to do it again. Not ideal when I'm trying to sell servings. Sad I can't use that perk. Thank you for the help though Crinrict.
