Can't drag food into the fridge anymore

Hello everyone, 

while I'm happy that I can drag things out of the fridge and into the bin again, I'm a little bit surprised that I can't drag food into the fridge. 

It doesn't matter which fridge I am placing down. It doesn't matter which Sim is selected. It doesn't matter which household I'm playing. 

It just doesn't work for me. 

Right after the latest bug fix it worked. But all of the sudden it doesn't. 

I'm playing on PlayStation. I have restarted the game. It's been happening for the last few days.

  • I cannot drag food to fridge. i can drag trash, food, or dishes to the dishwasher, sink, and trash. but i cant drag a meal my sims cooked to the fridge. tested on a vanilla game already.

    pretty straightforward issue. cannot drag food to fridge but it can be dragged to trash, dishwasher and sink.

  • I can no longer drag food into the refrigerator. Even using the “open” function, nothing can be placed in the refrigerator's inventory. Dragging out meals that are stored there works. However, only my Sims can put food back in. Dragging dishes to the sink, trash can, or dishwasher works perfectly. Dragging books to bookshelves also works.

  • I am having this issue too (with/without mods).
    I have a mod for claiming ownership of items, and when I use it to claim ownership of meals, I can then drag them to the fridge. The food was in a university dorm, and it had been brought in by NPC roommates. 

    The second time, it was at my sim's parents' house while my played sim was visiting. This time, my player sim made the food at their house, but I still needed to "claim" the food to move it to their fridge. 

    So it seems to have to do with ownership of objects for the player sim, possibly on certain lots. I was thinking it might have something to do with previous fixes for public areas accumulating trash.

  • I have been having the same issue for the last 2 weeks. My sim won’t cook or put trash away/clean dishes. Just waves hand or doesn’t do it. Cannot drag anything.

    I have a household that shares a space with their extended family on a rental lot. After cooking, it will not let me drag food into the fridge. I have to click "put away" every time. This is fine but I'm so used to cleaning up after my sims that this gets annoying that the fridge doesn't light up when I'm trying to drag food. Also, I have tried opening the fridge and putting in there that way but it will not let you do that either--only in the sim's inventory. I have tried it with and without mods/cc and the issue is still there.

    I can’t say I noticed this issue two months ago, but since the 150 fixes update, I cannot drag food into the fridge anymore.

    Happened to me in rotational gameplay, coming back to a house where a cook made food that cannot be dragged into the fridge. This bug was supposed to be fixed some times ago. Apparently it was not.
