[HCHSP] [BH] Unable to collect prepped ingredients (Skill Mastery Perk)

Hi swhite17​ 

• Did you test this on multiple households/Sims ?
• What platform are you playing on ?

• 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 having the same problem, ive removed all of my mods and still get the exception, I'm playing on windows PC.

Here is my lastException file:

Hi EnderCookie01​ 

is this any household you try it with ? Does your Sim have any mastery perks ?

I only play with two households and the other is living off the grid, so only one. My sim that i attempt this action with does have mastery perks

Could you test with another household (just create a new save game for testing) for a Sim without the trait to see if it works there.

Alright I tried on a new save with a sim that has no mastery perks and it allowed me to collect the ingredients no error.

Thanks for confirming.

I'll keep it separate for now but it might be merged with the main thread.

I have this issue with the mixer, pizza oven and waffle maker, but the Skill Mastery Perk makes no difference. The glitch also applies to those without a perk.

The appliances were for sale in a GTW retail store and sold/restocked in that condition. But when I set "not for sale" and request "collect ingredients/waffles/pizza" the action is instantly dropped.

Edit: I also get this when nobody's using the mixer and it's empty - the light turns on but you can't "Collect Prepped Ingredients" as there's nothing in there. This mixer was just upgraded and set for sale/sold/restocked; the light shouldn't be on anyway. Not sure if that's a different bug.
