[LD] Cemetery Lot: No Call To Meal option during events

Nov 25, 2025 Leading a funeral. Multiple issues.  I reported the "white/no pic" memorial pic in a separate bug report.  

  1. Trying to serve food.  No option to call to meal on the table.  Invited guests can't take a serving autonomously.  Tried clicking on individual meals but still no call to meal option.  Clicking on Funeral doesn't give me any call to meal type options.  

Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title, added pack tag. Please read this thread on how to find a good title that reflects your issue: [PLEASE READ] Information/Questions about the bug forum | EA Forums - 11850203

  • Hi TA1111​ 

    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.
    • Do you have the issue only at funerals or generally ?
    • I assume you holding the funeral at a funeral venue ? If so, if you do another type of party there, do you also have the option missing ?

    No mods. No cc. Turned off in gameplay. 

    • Do you have the issue only at funerals or generally ?

    First time to have this problem using this game item - I forget the table's name.  I've used the same item before, mostly at weddings. 

    • I assume you holding the funeral at a funeral venue ? If so, if you do another type of party there, do you also have the option missing ?

    The lot where I had the funeral is a Cemetery venue.  
    Nov 27, I just created an event to answer your question - Friend Hangout, at the same cemetery.  Served All Food. Clicking on the table gives me 2 options - Magic and Serve Food.   Clicking on one of the meals gives several options but no Call to Meal.  I clicked Grab Serving Together and the guest picked up a plate.  I don't think this would work for an event with more guests, like the funeral.  

    While the Host and Guest ate, a cemetery visitor picked up a plate and ate it at the table. 

  • So I did some testing and found something interesting.

    Bought a banquet table, served food there - no interaction to call to meal

    Cooked some food, the option appeared on all food, even on the served one so it seems you need to cook something before the option appears.

    Yes, I've used all the banquet tables many times.  You can cook food at a stove and place it on the table.  OR, you can click the table, select Serve Assortment, Serve All or Serve Food.. to choose individual meals to appear instantly on the table.  It is great.  At weddings I have called all the guests to the meal using these tables.  Call To Meal is normally an option on BOTH the Serve Food items and food a sim cooks at a stove.  I used Serve Food... butter chicken on a banquet table and yes, Call to Meal was an option.  Tested and Retested.  This is functioning. 

    This bug report -- At my Funeral Event I clicked the banquet table and Serve All to generate food.  I then tried to click on a dish but Call To Meal was not an option as normal.  Then, I created a second event at the same venue as you asked and again failed to call to meal by clicking on a meal.   

    I held another funeral with serving food as one of the activities.  When I clicked on the banquet table, Serve All the event checked off the serving food activity as completed.  Still, there was no UI to call all of the funeral guests to eat.  Again, I am reporting on Funeral UI and trying to call funeral guests eat together at the event.

    Didn't you say it was also happening for other events on that cemetery lot ?

    Titles should be as descriptive as possible with necessary pack tags so if it's the cemetery lot that's causing issues, that should be in the title (added that)

    You asked me to test another event (other than funeral) at that cemetery lot and I replied with the result.  

    I endeavor to comply in the most descriptive and informative way.    

    Add pack tags. Leave them off if it’s more than 3 different ones. Don’t add a tag for Base Game. Most is base game.
