Sims will not put away food items

I can not put items in the fridge using "put away". I can only drag the items into the fridge. 

Important notes:

I can take items out of the fridge and cook fine

There is nothing blocking the fridge

I have no CC or mods

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to a bit

  • HI csnyder13 

    does this occur in multiple saves or just a specific one ? Did you test multiple households ?

    What scenario are you playing ? Does it happen on households without scenario too ?

    I have the same problem. Multiple households, not playing a scenario. Different fridges. Attempted with different sims. They just give you the wavy arm ‘blocked’ signal and put the plate back down. Can use all other elements of fridge without issue.

    It's just the one household. I tried putting the fridge in another location, using a different type, repairing my game. I even completely bulldozed my lot and replaced the house.

    I am not playing with scenarios. I just bought the new EP and made part of my house a small business. The other households I play do not have a small business. 

  • This happened to me last Fall and it was caused by a grocery delivery bag hiding on the lot where I didn't see it. Have y'all had any grocery deliveries where you thought they didn't show up?

    That's what happened to me and then I found the bag hidden behind a shrubbery. Once I found it and unloaded it, everything went back to normal.

    I can't remember where I got the tip about delivery bags bugging out putting things in the fridge, possibly Reddit or from an old bug thread on Answers HQ. 

    One last thing to add: I also tried bulldozing and replacing originally, but that didn't help, because in my case the version of the lot I had saved evidently contained the bugged bag. I even tried putting the lot in a new save, before I figured out what was happening. I haven't had a single problem since with the lot in question.

    It's possible that the same problem might happen just having one of the delivery bags from Debug as a decor object on the lot.

    Update: I did find a debug item on my lot but that wasn't the cause of the issue. I just deleted every item in the kitchen and replace the items and now the interaction no longer fails.
