Yep, this is one of those "that's not a bug, that's a feature" things.
Well, that's just plain lame! I was thinking one of my sims had gone grocery shopping on a Downtown lot but couldn't remember for sure (none of them live Downtown) then I noticed it wasn't working so was blaming it on one of the mods I have in my game.
I guess Sims don't pack coolers in their car like I do when I do grocery shopping during the summer months.

I'm glad someone asked this question because I was wondering if I was somehow retarded not being able to figure this out. I have never had a sim actually go grocery shopping because pre-NL the community lots took forever to load so I always had them delievered. The downtown lots load much more quickly so the other day I decided to send a sim grocery shopping and could not for the life me figure out why I couldn't click on anything to buy; he ended up going back home and ordering groceries after all. I guess it's nice to know I'm not retarded and that it's not a "bug", it's a "feature". ::)

It always seemed like such a waste of time to go to a community lot just to buy groceries since it took forever to load one, and there wasn't anything else really to do once you got there. I thought maybe now my sims could pick up groceries while they are out and about downtown since I'm having to wait for those lots to load anyway, it wouldn't be very much extra waiting. I am rather disappointed to find out that this will not work. I'll just keep doing what I've been doing, using Inge's permafridge hack and dizzy2's hack that makes them bring home groceries or pizza on return from work. Maybe some good modder will fix this bug/feature.

I usually just have them go to a lot with groceries in their main town before returning home after a downtown outing. It really doesn't take that long to load anymore and you can go straight there without having to go to the neighborhood screen first so it's not really that bad. Also, I do have some sims living downtown now so they can shop downtown. :-\

Slaps forehead !
I wouldn't want to make a trip to only buy food but it really would be a no brainer to stop on the way back from a date or outing.
I don't know why I didn't think of that. Well, I found the pre-NL community lots boring so the ONLY time I went there was when my sim was soooo broke they couldn't afford the $50 food delivery charge or they went to satisfy a public woo-hoo want. The only time I visited a community lot in the home neighborhood since installing NL was check and see if I could buy food at that lot after finding that I couldn't buy foor at the NL community lot.
