Please fix the fruit cake bug! «12...Next Go

alanmichael1

Much has been said about Sims disliking all food after eating bad fruit cake. But now this bug also works in the other direction - if they like the cake, they praise all food for the rest of their life which is likewise annoying. Please fix this bug permanently!

Hello
Does this occur with each of your sims? Do they have the foodie trait?

alanmichael1

It happens with my couple who both ate cake and liked it. I must look, I dont think they have the foodie trait. I didnt remark this before the recent patch.

rosemow

Hello
Has it only occurred since the latest patch? How do they praise all the food? Could you please explain it s a little bit more?

alanmichael1

After every bite they wave with their arm and say hmm! But the food quality is just normal.

Hello
Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or " options " file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder.

Hello @alanmichael1

If you still have save files with this issue, would you be willing to share them with me?

alanmichael1

Hello @SimQARobo
Thanks for your help! Can I send it to you without a file sharing service?

rosemow

Helllo
I think that you will need to use a file sharing service. But SimQARobo may have his own file staring account that yiu can upload the file to,

@alanmichael1

If the file is small enough, you may be able to attach it directly to this thread, or in a private message to me. Otherwise you will have to use a file sharing service.

Thank you again for your help !

Unfortunately I see no way to attach a file on this board (the save is 9 MB big) and I don't want to use a file sharing service.
I managed however to take a screenshot of the constant enthusiasm my Sims show while eating. Both ate the welcome fruitcake and liked it.

Maybe you can upload the Sims to the Gallery so that we can take a look? Is it only these two Sims that have this issue for you?

Most all of my Sims react with (hmm) to most every food since the latest update, and they did not eat any fruitcake,
but if that is a new bug I can live with it I rather have my sims like the food than the crossed out reaction.
Must say though that most all of my Sims cook with perfect ingredients.

Interesting, I must test the new hmmm when I'm back at my PC tomorrow .

Hello
Is it only these two sims that do this ?

alanmichael1

I haven't played any other in the past few days. I will test the issue further tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure that it's not only the two Sims he mentioned. As posted above I also have this with most all of my Sims that I played with so far.
I remember 4-5 patches back that it was like this all the time. Someone (I can't remember who) created a mod to stop them doing this. But then as patches arrived it had stopped without the mod. Looks like it is back now.

Thankyou for the feedback on what is occurring in your game.

I have two Sims in separate households who are doing this after eating that darn fruitcake. Minor, I know, but still irritating. I have already repaired the game and done the thing wherein you make a new EA folder and drag back the saves and tray. No mods, vanilla game.

LuvMySimz

Cook a Gourmet Fruitcake and let your Sims eat it. This will cure the bug.

Hello
Is it only those two sims who have eaten the fruit cake that are praising every food that they are eating?

PEP1053

Sorry, let me clarify. Those two Sims are giving the 'disgusted' response every time they eat food, even if it is 'excellent.'

LuvMySimz

Yes the workaround is to let them eat GOURMET fruitcake cooked by your sim. Make sure they eat it all. Sounds crazy but in the end it will fix them. Trust me.

Here is my post from the Bug Thread. Lots of people have this problem, but the Goumet Fruitcake will solv it.

http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/WORKAROUND-Sim-grossed-out-while-eating-good-food/td-p/4624898/page/11

It has to be the GOURMET Fruitcake in order to really get rid of the grossed out behavior. At least in my game it had to be the gourmet and not the regular one. Make your Sim eat the whole gourmet fruitcake. He will not like it as he/she eats but after he/she finished it should be gone. To test it let the Sim eat regular food after. If he/she still does it feed another gourmet fruitcake.

Next time make sure to avoid the welcome wagon fruitcake. Don't let your Sims eat that BAD cake!

I am sorry if this is off-topic, I don't know if new members such as myself can start a thread (?). I haven't seen a thread addressing this. To what extent can cheats disrupt the game? Can they cause lag or minor bugs such as this? I generally just use the cas.fulledit mode, bb.showhiddenobjects, and the cheat that allows you to buy items that are career entitlements. I have seen some people say that you need to careful with cheats...

Sorry again, please let me know if there is a way I can start my own thread, I hope i am not disrupting this one. Again, I'm new to the forums!

Hello @PEP1053
Welcome to the forums
The cheats that you are using don't cause the issue with the fruit cake, making sims niot like their food. It is an issue that many simmers have experienced. You need to have your sims eat some gourmet fruitcake, then after that they should not have this issue.

There is usually a blue new discussion button at the top right hand side of the screen in the forum sections. But new discussion threads have been restricted for new members. You are unable to start a new thread until you become a full member, even if previously you were able to start a new thread . This has been brought in as a result of spambots.
You need to have 50 points and 30 posts before you can become a full member and can then post pictures, have a signature, edit posts ,start new threads, post links and change your profile picture.This thread explains about it.

You are very welcome to post on the threads that other simmers have started, until you become a full member and can open your own thread.
