"Instant Meal" bug?
Kitiara:
The only non-Maxis kitchen appliances I have are Inge's apartment stuff, which I no longer use. The apartment doors and tokens made the the appliances pretty much obsolete. I almost never use custom walls or floors. My game drags with too much cc, so I limit it to the essential stuff.
After hearing of problems with diagonal doors, I checked all of my houses and straightened out all of the doors.
Still, sometimes I have problems in the kitchen. It seems, the have meal and serve meal options will disappear. Everything else will work fine. Then it will come back. Later. For no apparent reason.
I don't get it.
I blame it on EA.
I've started using christianlov's all-in-one npc in most houses because it reduces the irritations of contrary refridgerators, and also gardens, repairs, etc.
Lazy - maybe.
Convenient - YES!

It does seem to me that you have something getting in the way of your fridges. Does the same thing apply if you click on the stove instead?
Kitiara:
Sometimes clicking on the stove works, sometimes it does not. Sometimes using a different sim works. Sometimes it does not. Sometimes going into the kitchen, as close to the refridgerator as possible clears it up. Sometimes it does not. I have a hypothesis that none of these things ever really fix the problem, rather that what I am doing when it goes away is coincidence. However, I can't prove that; I don't even know how to test it.
BlueSoup:
I get this happening all the time in my Legacy lot.
If my Sims are in another room when I try to queue them to make a meal, it will sometimes only come up with the Instant Meal option. As soon as they are in the same room, I can click on the fridge again and it's fine. I can also have them check the food levels first, and then click on the fridge again and all the options are there.
A lot of the time they are in one of the bathrooms, which both have diagonal doors, so I tested that and moved them to the bedroom which has straight doors, and I have the same problem.
I don't know what the deal is, I only know it's yet another bug for Maxis to fix.
ZephyrZodiac:
It always happens in my bathrooms with diagonal doors, but never when the doors are normal. Are the doors concerned by any chance new meshes?
