Family is not able to clean up food anymore
MissDoh:
This is the 1st time it happened to me in a full year of playing. After a few trips on downtown lots, I played with a family that I did not for awhile which is in a custom neighborhood I made. I resetted my game after I install Nightlife so that family was created after Nightlife was installed in case it matters.
When I arrived on the lot, my 2 sims were in bed (I tend to save my lots when my Sims are in bed). There was a serve bowl of pastdue mac and cheese on the counter and one little bowl on the table.
When my Sims woke-up I wanted them to clean that mess with no luck, the option to clean-up was not there anymore, there was only the "call family to dinner" or grab a bowl options. Neither of my 2 Sims were able to clean it up. When the maid came she was able to clean it up no problem, so I said to myself "Maybe this lot has become corrupted for some unknown reason" so I decided to move them into a new house. They were not able to clean-up in that new house either ... :o The other families did not have that problem only that one.
So far, I have no custom stuff at all in my game so it is not a mod or hack that is causing this. I was wondering if this ever happened to others and if there is something I can do so it won't happen again.
Luckily, I made a back-up before this happened and place it back and that family was ok but I want to avoid it happens again.
thanks for your help :)

I've had something similar happen since installing Nightlife. I reset my game after installing NL, deleting all of the premade neighborhoods, and only have my one custom neighborhood in the game. I had just installed Inge's hack to refill the fridge automatically. The first house I went in to play had just a single Sim, and I was no longer able to direct him to clean up dirty dishes. Like you said, I had to let them sit until the maid came in. I exited the game, removed the fridge hack, but could still not get that Sim to clean up the dishes. During that play session, I had him invite his girlfriend, a downtownie, to move in, and I could get her to clean up the dishes. I've since moved them into another lot back in the main neighborhood, and can now get him to clean up dishes.
After reading your post, I am thinking it wasn't the fridge hack, but I don't know what else may have caused it.

I had this happen last night, if you use the 'testingcheats' and 'force error' on the sim then hit reset things should return to normal again.

Are you sure it won't create other problems, I am always afraid to hit the "force error" button on my Sims and mess it up.
With 2 others that have the same problem I am starting to wonder if this is not a new bug that came with Nightlife. I am trying to remember if I used boolprop to make them found a job or not since I did do it with other Sims family in that neighborhood, but still it has nothing to do with the ability to clean-up food.

In truth Missdoh I'm not aware of any problems using the 'force error/reset' on a sim as yet, but I'm not too bright either and know little of how things work :D I have used it on a number of problem sims though with no noticeable side-effects, it's rather handy when you get a frozen sim on a community lot blocking your sims exit from a toilet, but I don't use it lightly. As long as when the options come up, you don't hit delete (especially for carpools/objects) it should be okay.
