Title: Where the hell is my sandwich?!
Post by: InQuietNight on 2010 February 04, 18:08:35
Problem: Sims stop cooking in the middle of food preparation [always when whatever food is about to be placed on the stove/in the oven]. When I click "Continue cooking," they pick up the pan, think for a second, and place it back down on the counter. Lather, rinse, repeat.

The sim I initially noticed this with has a level 10 cooking. I tried another sim who has no cooking skill (I don't know, she's been reading so many books about cooking maybe she's sick of it now?) and still, no one can put the damn pan on the stove. This is especially annoying since I have a pregnant sim who keeps rollling food wants.

This does NOT seem to be an AM problem, as the problem continues after removal of said mod. In fact, I have removed ALL of my mods in hopes of finding something corrupt, but no luck. I also have not patched up to 1.9, as I have neither WA nor HELS and thus think its a monstrous waste of time. I even added a faster cooking mod in the hopes that it would override some small error and while it SOUNDED like a good idea at the time (if a desperate one), it has, naturally, failed.

I spent all morning scouring through here, Google, MTS, and anywhere I could think in order to find some way to fix this, but no such luck. Does anyone have ANY idea of how the hell I can fix this [keeping in mind, and I apologize for this, that I am pretty much a shit-for-brains where these computer innards' are concerned]?

Many thanks in advance!

Edit: I'm a dumbass. End.

Have you tried replacing the stove?

I am... baffled, and more than a little humiliated that I did not think of that before. Apparently the stove thought it was being used (for the past 3 days, stove? Rly?). Shift+Click was able to allow me to delete it.

You win an internetz.

Problems and errors similar to yours have been happening with the release of the recent patch. Chairs, stoves and a couple other things are 'useless' unless you sell it and buy a new one. It happens though. I'm glad to see that someone else had a similar problem that wasn't from one of the tardville forums and wasn't prescribed a total reinstallation of the game.

I guess your stove had the "workaholic" trait... ;D

I'm a sandwich.  And I'm here. So... yeah.
