Ideas
My sims refuse to cook or eat in any way at all. The interaction doesn't play at all. Sometimes they T-pose, but often nothing happens at all. The action sometimes queues forever but doesn't pull up. Sometimes it pulls up and then fails instantly.
They won't get a quick meal, they won't cook on the grill, they won't cook with the oven/stove, or a salad (off grid cooking). The most that may happen is on a public grill the food will appear on the grill, but the sim won't move and the cooking animation won't play, the food will never complete cooking, but their skill will increase.
When the queue gets stuck and I have the sim walk to unstick it, sometimes the walking interaction will not end. I have to end it myself for anything else to happen.
I have already tried: completely deleting TS4 game and packs and re-installing, deleting all mods and CC, starting a new save with a totally new Sim, moving all Build/buy objects out of the way in game, trying on a community lot, trying in a non-lot grill in-world. PLEASE DON'T SUGGUEST ANY OF THESE.
I use a PC laptop. (Lenovo something or other).
