"Put leftovers away" option disappeared from food menu
My game was running fine until i downloaded a whole lot of food to be baked in my home business bakery. At some stage after this, when someone cooked something (anything - and not through the make many option, just regular cooking) the option to put leftovers away disappeared, and instead only options available are "call to meal", "clean up", "resume cooking" (meal is cooked and served already) and sometimes "grab a plate". If i select resume cooking, they go to the counter and say "huh?" with the counter in their thought bubble. Also, all plates are unselectable once finished with, cant even delete them in buy mode though sims can autonomously clean up most of them.
I also have an indian restaurant running as a home business in another house in the street. In order to make it a restaurant i had to change it to a community lot, buy the cooking range and podium, and then change it back to residential. It has worked fine (after i deleted the chef and the hostess so my sims could run the place). Dont know if this eventually broke it. i had to move the family out of their home as they were experiencing the above issues too.
Of course i have removed the downloaded food, changed the fridge, removed my hacks, then the whole downloads folder, then tried another house, then another neighbourhood, then a brand new neighbourhood, then a maxis neighbourhood, then removed EA Games folder from my documents and generated a whole new game. Ive removed the cache file and those other files that are generated. NO LUCK. It still happens.
I have all EPs (no stuff packs installed) and game is patched.
What ever have I done? I dont really want to reinstall. Id rather work out what has happened. Thanks for taking a look.
ETA: i was finally able to click on the empty serving plate and got "put away leftovers"???
