[AA] Sims try to cook for themselves in hotels even when a chef is assigned
I built a hotel in the game and assigned a head chef to it. I set it up so the chef should be cooking, and the guests should just eat the meals. The issue is that the three separate interactions — Cook, Serve Food, and Eat — all trigger cooking. Because of this, a crowd gathers in the kitchen, and the chef can’t reach the counters to start cooking. I would like the Eat interaction not to involve cooking. It would also be great if serving food worked more like a service action. Or add a separate interaction for bringing prepared food. I don’t use mods or CC, and I have all the expansion packs installed.Plant Sim: No option to absorb solar energy
I'm trying the plant-a-sim quest for the first time, and my plant Sims (I tried with 2) don't have the option to absorb solar energy from plants. I've tried on many different plants at different times of day, but they don't have the button for the interaction. At first I thought it was the genius trait on the first sim I tried, and that the "collect microscope sample" option was replacing it, but this is not the case, as tested by the other sim. I also tried removing all of my mods, and restarting the game(separately). I'm not sure what's causing the issue but I can't complete the quest without this interaction and can't find any record of anyone else having the same issue online. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title
Stuck In Their Shadow: Promotion skips to Level 6
During this scenario, when you need to be promoted to level 5 of the Tech Guru Career, it automatically skips to level 6. This means you can't complete the scenario step/goal to move forward with the story. I tried to use "testingcheats true" and then "careers.demote TechGuru" but it just automatically fires you, you can't be at level 5, which renders the scenario impossible to complete.

Game freezes when Moving in
After the latest update I have tried multiple times to have my sims marry or move in together and every time they start the interaction then freeze just before the action completes then the whole game needs to be force shut down this happens with and without any mods Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title, merged threads.
Can't travel with more than 1 or 2 Sims
When I select travel on the phone a window pops up so I could select up to 7 sims to travel with. However I can only select one. I am playing the scenario with the Martínez family. There is the optional task of traveling to the park with the kids. I wanted to take both kids to the park with the mother, but I could select only one. It does not matter which parent I am on. I can select only one sim to travel with. The others are not greyed out, they are available for selecting, but I can not select them if I already selected one. I play on windows, I have all packs and almost all kits. ( I do not have the last two). I do not have any mods or cc.

Version 1.113.,291.1020 DX11 I was trying the Unlucky Chef challenge once again, and wasn't seeing any fires (except for one not associated with cooking) after a couple weeks of play. Restarted the scenario in a fresh save with mods disabled, and cooked 3 meals on the stove without fires, which based on previous experience should have been enough time for a fire to have broken out on the stove.

I'm trying to do the parenting predicaments scenario, but for some reason it won't check off that the kids are going to school in a focused mood. I got the tea brewer to make sure they were going to school focused literally every day, but it never checked off the list item. Now both kids are young adults, so they don't go to school anymore and have no way to complete the list item. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work when the kids were going to school, but now there's no way for me to complete the scenario at all. Edit By crinrict: Adjusted Title fit old bug report.
