Refrigerator restocking bug

Well, you can cancel the put-away action and they'll leave the basket somewhere decorative.
I did that by accident some time ages ago, probably in the base game. They put the basket down some place silly where I couldn't see it, and the refrigerator stayed constantly almost empty and any attempts I made at ordering new groceries were borked by the grocery bar showing that the fridge was almost full already. I think even re-buying the fridge didn't work. It took me ages to find out what the problem was.
Maybe that's why they've changed the code.

Perhaps this got fixed with Pets?
I checked, and Darren Dreamer does indeed have a basket of groceries from a recent trip to a community lot still sitting in his inventory.
He made no attempts to put them away autonomously. Orrr, maybe this only works with free will off?

Nah, I've got free will on and my Sims are pretty happy to let groceries sit in inventory. Sometime they'll put a basket in after coming home from work or a community lot, but mostly they just hang on to it until groceries get low and I tell 'em to put groceries away. And even then they're content to just put one basket in the fridge.

well that would be good news! downright amazing, but good news!
Previous thread on exactly this point is here http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,5607.0.html
In case you hadn't noticed, they buy an entire large fridge worth of food, even if they have a half-full SMALL fridge at home. Double jeopardy! This really ticks me off as I use small community lots quite a bit for multi-purpose trips.
My current workaround? I have my sims go shopping for several baskets of about 100 each and stack the extra's round the side of the house
I wrote it up on the Sims2 board in case any maxoids read posts - feel free to add your mite...

I think Pescado worked out that using Wornable fridges, and selling and re-buying when they became empty, was cheaper than buying groceries anyway, and therefore fixing this bug was low priority.
