Sim Can't Cook

lxsrenick

Right before going to cook my Sim will act like she can't get to either the stove or the counter. I've taken out all custom content and it still isn't working. Any suggestions?

Hello
Try having her travel to another lot and back, then test to see if the issue remains.
Test by removing the overhead pots item and see if that may help. Move the meal bowl away also.

Move your whole mods folder to the desktop. Delete the cache files. Then test to see if the issue is still there

If the issues still remain, repairing the game may help. To do that, go to games library in Origin, right click on the sims 4 picture and click repair

I just tried all of those things and am still having the issue @rosemow

Try moving the dishwasher so that there is a kitchen counter on both sides of the stove. Then see if that helps.

If the issue remains, try having the sim move to another home. Test to see if she can cook meals there. Then have her move back to the original home and see if the issues remain.

I had the household move to a new home, they could cook on the new lot. I had them move back and now they can't cook.

Try moving the island a bit further down towards where your sim is standing. If that doesn't work try selling the counters and the stove and repurchasing them.

@3KNPen I tried both of those things and it still isn't working unfortunately.

I know you said you removed your CC have you pulled the folder completely from your game and tried that? It might be something lingering.
Kind of extreme but maybe try saving your lot to the gallery bulldozing it and replacing it with the copy? Maybe try placing it on another lot first to see if you can cook in the house then maybe we can try to see if it's the house or the lot itself that's glitched.

Otherwise you might just have to move your family.

Try removing the island counter and see if that helps.

May I ask what lot is it on?

I am having the same problem. I have no CC. The only items in the kitchen area are a stove, fridge and 1 counter. No decorations. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello @Gelati24
Try adding more counters to the kitchen. There may not be enough free space counters.
Try selling the stove and fridge and buying them again, then see if the issue remains.

@paradiseplanet It is on the 50x40 lot in Newcrest

Bulldozing the lot and replacing it seems to have fixed the issue for now.

It is good that bulldozing and replacing the lot has helped with the issue.
