CC issues causing interactions to be cancelled with Fridge and/or stove

So I'm not sure which one of these is the culprit, but since the release of the latest patch (1/13/15) and Outdoor Retreat, whenever I put new CC in my game, my Sims can't do anything with the fridge except have a quick meal. When I pull that CC out, all functions with the fridge and stove return to normal. The CC I use isn't from just some random creator, I have those that I trust and tend not to download CC from those that I'm not familiar with.

I haven't seen anyone else posting this in the Official forum in the tech thread, maybe I should, but really EA/Maxis may not do anything about it because they don't support third party content.

Should I waste my time in posting this issue in there?

I had the same issue, I followed this tutorial HERE and so far it I have had no more problems

If this doesnt work then yes I would post it everywhere I could think of to see if anyone has figured out how to fix it.

Crapanoodles Now my game is doing the same thing, no cooking, no quick meals, no nothing urgghhhh
They are all going to starve

another tip to try is Right click the Sims4 Icon in Origin and choose "repair game". This will delete a broken file in your cache folder.

Let me know how you get on

I did do the repair game via Origin and it didn't fix the problem. I did that first before deleting all new CC I had put in.


Edit: I went over the official forum and someone had already reported this issue in Crinrict's post here. There is also a compiled list he has started at HQ of issues that can be found here. Crinrict posted in a reply that the issue has been reported.

So I guess until then, I don't add any new CC.

I popped the question on my tumblr, and got a reply saying it is CC, but not all cc is a problem, I have taken ALL my cc out and am not placing it back in a folder at a time, I have all mine in creator folders, so far my own cc, newsea, the lighting mod, cas background color, are all fine, next on my list is nightcrawler, yours, tacha and alesso.

I will keep going until I find the culprit haha

The ones that I had to take out are these ones: NyGirl Large pocket jeans, simsoerchen shabby chic picture set on TSR and the newest one which really really surprised me is from Mutske Wicklow windows part 1 on TSR.

I'm really bummed about them causing my game to go all flooey, I have NyGirls CC and mutske's and have never had a problem with any of their stuff before. Simsoertchen I've never heard of her before.

I haven't taken out my mods folder and haven't encountered anymore problems since removing those pieces of CC.

I have put most of mine back in, hmmm I think I had NY Girl Jeans too, not put them back in yet, will leave them till the very end and see what happens. If it is those then we should contact her to let her know.

I agree. I was thinking of letting mutske know too by posting a private message to her on TSR.

I agree with you, I do think they need to know so they can fix it, I know I would want to know if it was my creation.

Hi gals.....I am just beginning to be tempted by all the CC out there for Sims 4.



All I have so far are your spooky tights Ina, auntielynd's two types of hose and they contacts you put on Gracie King. ( and the one pose I made) No problems so far. Thanks for the info.

Your welcome Buttons! If you have any questions just fire away!

I also sent a private message to mutske on TSR, hopefully she will respond.

everything is working perfectly now, the only CC I didnt pop back in were the jeans from NY Girl and plants from mutske sooo it had to be one of them that played havoc haha, strange though that is was the last update that screwed it all up.

I heard back from mutske, she said she also feels it was the patch that caused this freakish thing to happen because the windows shouldn't have had anything to do with any interactions for the sims. She also asked if I had tried them as CC only. I'm a bit confused as to what she meant. Do you think she meant having only those in my mods folder?

I just had a thought, I wonder if I pulled my mods folder out if the game would create a new one? That way I could put just mutske's windows back in and see if it was actually those or not.

Edit: I went through my mods folder and noticed that I had a CAS background color changer, so I pulled it out, put mutske's windows back in and went in game. Now I don't know if taking that background color changer out had anything to do with anything, or if it was the moving my household into their new digs, but the windows are not affecting any interactions that my sims have with the fridge or stove as far interactions to cook anything disappearing out of the cue. I didn't pull my mods folder out to see if the game generated a new one, but when I get to go in game again I'll be keeping an eye on this. At that point I may want to consider the idea of pulling the mods folder out and going from there.

Just gotta love the quirkiness of this game, as it constantly keeps you on your toes. Things that make you go

I was thinking, maybe there is a limit to what we can have cc wise in our game? I downloaded 1 hair yesterday, and when I went in game everything was fine, then I popped in my vests I made and pfft they wouldnt cook again, so I took out the hair and voila everything worked.

To see if the hair was causing a rift I then put in the hair and took out leggings, and yep the game worked. So I tried putting everything back in and nope it borked again....soooo the leggings stayed out after that.

Interesting.... Maybe I'll pop something in the officials on Crinricts post and see if I get a response sometime today, babysitting right now and I have to do my internet stuff in very short bursts as I never know how long lil mr. man will me. LOL

oh the joys of babysitting, I love watching the wee man haha. Give him tons of cuddles from me wont you MJ and tell him someday he will meet his auntie from across the sea.

I sure will Ina!

I was able to put in a thread this morning just before Emmett woke up. LOL. So far no real good answers. Here's the thread. http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/811040/is-there-a-limit-for-cc#latest

So I'm beginning to think that you may be right Ina. Yesterday I downloaded mutske's part 2 wicklow window set and I have already downloaded your tops. I put them in my mods folder, went in game and what do ya know, issues with that dang fridge again. So I backed out and commenced to removing CC. Before I started removing, I hovered over my mods folder and it had 496MB in it. After I removed some items (mostly seasonal) I'm now down to having 440MB in there. Wasn't able to test out my game last night after removing CC, but hopefully I will be able to test it out today.

Here's hoping they fix it soon, I am in need of more CC haha and I dont want to keep taking things out to make room.

I agree, this is getting a bit too ridonkulous.
