I've tried to post in the respective thread at Answer HQ but for some reason it will not let me post there so I have to report this here instead.
My sims will not sit down when eating anymore, instead they stay right next to the fridge or wherever they got the serving from and eat while standing. It happens to me since I installed the toddler stuff pack patch yesterday. They also will not sit down when I direct them to sit on the chair, they just keep standing infront of the fridge or counter without reacting to any of my commands. It's very frustrating!
I swear, the dining room chairs or the couch are much more comfortable than standing in the kitchen yet my sims will not sit down. The only way to get them to sit at the table is by first telling them to sit, then putting the food in their inventory and then directing them to eat it, which is quite annoying if you have more than one sim.
I hope this gets fixed soon.

I am sorry that you are having this issue. It can sometimes help to direct a sim to sit on a chair, then they will eat the food, and other sims will also follow. I am sorry that that this is not helping in your game.
If the fridge is in the corner of the room, try moving it to another position in the room, as that can sometimes help.
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.

I've repaired the game but it didn't change anything, neither did resetting the folder or removing the mods alltogether. It also happens with both the Mahan household and the foster family and they have entirely different kitchens with different fridges so I don't think it depends on the objects. What did work for me is to tell them to grab a serving and before they do so tell them to go sit on the chair. It's still fairly annyoing but a little more bearable.
I think it's just a game bug, though I'm wondering if I'm the only one affected by it right now? I found other threads with the same issue but they were all older so I don't know if the issue was fixed and just reintroduced with the latest patch or something like that.

It is good that you have found a workaround for the issue. You would prefer though not to have to use this workaround . It is helpful to know what works for you.

Asking them to sit doesn't always work, sometimes it causes them to put the food back in the fridge instead of eating it (if they autonomously decided to eat something).
Hello
I am sorry that you are also having this issue There is a large games patch coming soon, so it may help with these issues.
