[BH] Sims pay for one food serving instead of full price

I do not know if this is a bug or an intended feature, but if it is the latter it renders all food-focused businesses in the newest pack completely unviable. 

In attempting to create a bakery today I constantly lost money as the price of producing any baked goods was higher than I could possibly sell them for, even at the highest markup. The issue seems to be that when purchasing from the refrigerated displays the sims purchase all servings of a food item, but only pay the price for one serving. I tested this with several different dishes, from baked goods to BLTs, and found that it was always the same: The sims would purchase all 8 servings at once and pay only for one. I then tested it with the new Candy that was added by the pack, and it had the same issue: I paid 49 simoleons to make a party serving of candy and that whole party serving sold all at once for a fraction of that, despite being excellent quality. 

 I then tested selling those same items on the Home Chef Hustle table, and they worked appropriately: The price of the goods was the same, but sims only took one serving when they paid for only one serving. I imagine this is how the new pack was meant to behave as well, but it is simply not the case.

    As soon I started to get this bug I thought to try this mod. Doesn't seem to work for me, or at least not for the candy machine until there is an update.

    Just commenting to boost. Started a new save 9/mar/25 after purchasing the pack. Made a retail shop, sold things no issue, started another new save trying to make a cafe & customers would purchase all 8 servings for the price of 1. I was expecting bugs with this pack but not this - a system that works and has worked for years. Will have to try a new new save and test out the other small business activities. No mods & mods

    Yes I noticed that too and this mod doesn't work on ice cream, cupcakes neither. But still, we have no other better options for now😭 

  • Same problem for me too. Whether intentional or a bug, this renders food based small businesses highly dysfunctional. The cold food displays - all of them, from B&H, the bonus item one, and GtW - need updated to work like the Home Chef Hustle table.
