    Sims won't eat

    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    Ever since the patch I've been having problems with my Sims eating. I tell them to grab a serving and they snap back and the plate is on the floor. I select eat and they just stand there...I select cleanup and they finally grab it and start walking to the garbage so I cancel that and they snap back again and the plate is on the floor.
    I've tried restarting the game and everything. I've tried testingcheats on and reset the Sim, the food, the fridge, the stove, the microwave...everything and still it keeps happening...After closing the game and restarting several times it finally clears up. I am so afraid my legacy Sims are all going to starve to death.

      This game is so bad that the Sims themselves want to die to keep from being in it. I feel for them..... :'(

      The poor things have probably noticed how easy it is to gain weight in this game.

      Just let them get to the point of starving to death and see if they will actually eat then!

      They are much better at taking care of themselves in this game, LOL

      That's the thing they are starving to death but it's a bug that won't let them eat because the food snaps to the ground by their feet and they are just standing there.

      Have you tried taking them to the park (yeah, hotdogs) or the venue (chips) or does it still happen?

      Did you go to Origin and click to repair game?

      No I will try that. Thank you!

      I sporadically play my game anyways but this bug makes me not want to play at all...very sad. Hope it gets fixed!

      someone said re-installing game might wipe the bug out.

      If you uninstall and reinstall you wont loose anything. It will all be there.

      If you did the repair on origin and it didn't work, I would just uninstall and reinstall while there, and hope its fixed.

      Usually works for me anyway :p

      I had this happen to my sims on a much smaller and intermittent scale. I just sent them to another neighborhood to gather scavenge trashcans, get plant cuttings, and dig nodes. Once I got them back home they didn't have the problem anymore. But I also do the update and repair option on Origin before I run the game... so that may have eventually fixed it.

      The original topic's bug was fixed quite a while ago.

      What's happening exactly for you? Have you tried things like resetting the Sims, replacing the furniture, travelling to a different lot and back, and pulling out your mods?

      I also recommend this gameplay-folder reset as an often-useful glitch-remover:
      1. Move (not copy) Saves, Tray, Mods, Screenshots, and Custom Music folders and the Options.ini file to your desktop. Delete the Scratch subfolder from inside Saves.
      2. Delete the rest of the The Sims 4 folder from your Documents > Electronic Arts folder.
      3. Start the game, and exit the game. Now you have a fresh Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 folder.
      4. Copy all the folders and the file back and start the game again.

      Hi, it seems to be one main sim.. the others eat etc.. I also have an annoying issue whereby the careers.promote for doctor is not working.. I am right now trying to fix it :/ The last time I removed all my cc, & started my game, I had to re do all my sims in the game over again as they became bald etc and lost all the cc, I never want to do it again... lol. I am just going back into the game to check a few things, (& to travel her to a different lot like you suggested) and I've tried a few ideas from Carls Guide just now too.. (strange maybe, but for a while now there's been nothing in my Cache file to delete.. is that weird..?) Thanks for your help.

      The move objects on mod broke several patches ago when the developers added the cheat officially.

      By the feel of it: suggestions, I'll keep checking things out myself, and have also posted the question at sims online and will probably try a few others too.... also: I'll just have to delete mods one by one now (I don't trust many of them now).

      Hello @Sashasonic. Sometimes after game patch updates, mods conflict with the patches/game . It would be good to go back to the sites where you downloaded the mods from and see if updated versions have been released or if other simmers are having issues with the mods that you have in your game.
