Request: Non-ADD Cooking Hack
IgnorantBliss:
I already posted this request on another forum but it received no interest, so I thought I'd post it here.
I have not seen a hack or a request for this before, so I thought I'd ask if it would be possible to make a hack that prevents sims from forgetting their food into the oven while cooking. My sims seem to get constantly distracted by something else, or even leave for class, and end up burning the food unless I keep an eye on them constantly. You also can't pile up any actions on their queue for after cooking or there'll be a fire.
You're probably busy updating your hacks for Nightlife right now, but if you have time and interest for this in the future, I'd appreciate it.
(And before anyone says the title of this post is politically incorrect and making fun of people with ADD, the title is a reference to my dear ADD husband who cooks just like my sims and will likely burn down our apartment at some point. Unfortunately no sprinklers are available IRL.)

you're not alone there - I'd love a hack that stops them wandering off with pork chops in the oven... it might also make their autonomous choices to cook lobster thermidor a little less dangerous!

Lol, if I don't watch the cooking sim, almost always the food is burned...:).
But I found a tactics: I put my pointer on the stove, and each time the pointer is a "star" (*), I order the sim to "resume cooking", which keeps him occupied with the cooking, without being able to be distracted.
...Although, just today my female sim, even with this tactics, burned the Lobster Termidor 3 times (!), and her husband "staffed face" in the fridge...:). She almost killed them from hunger...:). So, I gave them to eat the burned food, as a lecture...:). Shame on her...:).

my sims always have to eat food that they burn. You burn it, you eat it, is my rule.

I think I'd just pause the game and queue up two or three Resume Cooking actions, then unpause. This should keep the Sim at the stove without extra micromanagement.
