More Awesome Than You!

So I have to bribe a lady with food in Egypt. I have the food but I am unable to drag it to my inventory - the hand option never appears over the plate, only the cog with the usual options. I tried putting the plate into the fridge so I could move it to the inventory from there, but since it is a community lot it wont let me. I've made sure there are no queued actions that may be affecting the plate, but no dice. Am I missing something incredibly obvious here? I recall being able to drag plates into the inventory in the home hood.

I'm patched up to 2.2, and AM is my only mod.

I concur with you Papercut on that issue. I've had exactly the same one in egypt and in France.
My guess is that the "drag food plate to inventory" feature is disabled in foreign neighborhoods. So it's probably an EA bug/wonky feature.

I fulfilled the adventure in Egypt ("bring a shawarma plate to sim X") by :
1. sending my Sim back home (main hood) (Tip : don't accept such an adventure on your first day of vacation if you don't already have the required dish in your inventory :-)
2. just before leaving again for a new trip to Egypt, he took a shawarma plate with him (so the feature DOES work, but only in main hood)
3. he could deliver it properly in Egypt.

what I've not tested is :
Is it possible to drag a plate of food to inventory if a Sim owns a home in the foreign hood?
Is it possible to fulfill this kind of quest by buying the food at the local food store (in my "Egypt game", the food store is borked and perma closed, and in the French quest, the dishes had to satisfy some quality standard and store food is normal).

You do not have to end your vacation for that. Stick the plate in the fridge and then open it again and press take all. The dish will be in your sims inventory.

Should be fixed now.

Tested, and plate-dragulation is now functional. THANKS, THIS IS GREAT!
