Leftovers disappearing
madamejeanie:
I've got a problem with leftovers disappearing. When a sim goes to the fridge to get a leftover, they remove it and it disappears from their hand as they shut the door. I've only recently installed Free Time and took out all my hacks. I've only put back hacks updated for FT. I also did a few searches here to see if this topic had been discussed somewhere already and couldn't find anything. Forgive me if I've missed it. I have all EPs and none of the stuff packs. I'm using Maxis fridges. At first I thought I just had a borked lot, but it's happening on all the lots now. Any ideas?

Were the leftovers put into the fridge prior to you installing Freetime? This sounds like something that would occur with a new EP's "reset".
madamejeanie:
No, this is happening in a brand new neighborhood I've created since installing FT. I don't have any custom foods and am using Maxis fridges. The only food related hack I have is havealeftover (can't remember who created that right now) but that's not it because I tried it with that hack removed and it still did it. I can put the leftovers into the fridge, and "Get Leftovers" is still a choice on the fridge menu, but when the sim removes the plate or platter, it disappears. I've also tried sticking the platter into inventory (which I used to do before Seasons let us have leftovers) and when I take it out, the only choices available are "Continue Cooking," "Call to Meal..." and "Clean Up." Calling to meal has no affect. Nothing happens and no one can grab a plate. Did Free Time do something to the food?

Your food was shot to hell. This happens every time the game resets, like installing a new EP or a new patch. Some hacks also reset the game. You can't resume cooking, despite what the pie menu says. You have to get rid of all affected dishes.

If you take it out, your food will be shot. If you have no food that you are worried about shooting, then you do not need it at this time. Food is frequently shot when you install a new expansion or patch, resulting in all food stored as shop inventory, live on counters, or in character inventory being shot. Remember, don't shoot food!
Get dontshootfood included in FT Director's Cut. I always keep this hack in my downloads folder to prevent ruined food.

I don't know that that will work, since this is new food the OP is talking about, not food that's been around since before the new EP.
