THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Yes,  I can use APO to deny disruptive and keep them out of the kitchen, but that leaves the problem of the nanny being unable to get bottles for babies or toddlers.

I often have nurseries upstairs in the "barracks" section of the house, and have a separate fridge up there so that nannies/parents can get bottles without wasting time walking halfway across God's green Earth and back again.  The down side is that parents getting up and wanting breakfast tend to grab the pancake fixin's as they pass the bathroom on the way to the kitchen, rather than using the actual kitchen fridge, but this is a minor and somewhat amusing issue.

Didn't Surelyfunke Ellatrue [Edit: thanks, alter-ego] do a bottles only fridge or something for that purpose?  Must look.

For those of you who just absolutely insist on letting your sims run around on their own, the upcoming FOOD EATS YOU will resolve all of your food-related annoyances. Much like Bathroom Uses You, it will detect when a sim is trying to eat, and then redirect this request to a properly macro-calculated food routine. No more Lobster Thermidor or Stuff-Face.

I know you hate this but this will really solve my problem and let me play like I like to play soooooooo.....baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I just use Inge's bottle. I get the random sim very rarely getting a new bottle from the fridge (typically if it is a multiple baby/toddler household and only one bottle is on the lot), but it zaps those eventually. I used to grab tons of them from the fridge and keep them in the toddler's inventory.

Oooooh! A new shiny coming soon. Can't wait!

I have neverending issues with sims abusing the fridge and wasting food.

My long-standing solution to this is to turn the fridge to face the wall when sims are in the kitchen unsupervised and especially when nannies are on the lot at home alone with the kids.  They can whine all they want to.  On other occasions, like others, I'd stuff anything made and not eaten either back in the fridge or, favourite for business sims going to work at their shop lot, in their inventories by way of packed lunch.

I think I figured out the eating problem with Freetime, at least for my game.

I created a new family yesterday from CAS and moved them into a previously unused house.

I noticed that as soon as the hunger dropped down to about halfway the son, who I had given random skills to and who had a high cooking skills, went to the kitchen and prepared Pescado's favorite, Lobster Thermidor!!

I was amazed.  No one had cooked in my game without me telling them to since installing Freetime.  I watched everyone eat and then they put the leftovers in the fridge.

No more cooking after that.

So I had them take all the leftovers out of the fridge and throw them away.

Sure enough the mom this time prepared food all by herself and put the leftovers away and no more cooking.

Everytime I removed the leftovers they would cook on their own again.

So I removed all my hacks from dizzy concerning putting away leftovers, but I have not had a chance to test since doing that but it seems reasonable that if I don't have the hacks for putting leftovers away and take a leftover it should work, but as soon as I test again I will post, if anyone is interested.

Isn't that to do with the hack for not making fresh food when there are still leftovers to eat?  The only problem is they can't autonomously get the leftovers out.

Well Dizzy has a hack for taking a leftover instead of preparing a new meal and I had that one in too, which I have removed, when I get home from work tonight I will test it with both out and then with put leftovers away back in, but I'm betting this has been my problem.

I have Dizzy's "have-a-leftover1c-serve" in my game. It replaces all autonomous food preparation with "get leftovers," as long as there are leftovers in the fridge. Then it'll automatically pick either the first or last leftover available. If there are no leftovers, then it changes the queue to 'serve' the meal instead of only preparing one portion.

So, it's the expected result that they aren't cooking when there are leftovers in the fridge. You might have something conflicting with it that is not allowing them to get those leftovers, and/or cook when there aren't available leftovers. Have you already run HCDU and checked to make sure you have the current version of the hack?

Yes that is the first thing I did to test to see if I had conflicting hacks and it reported none.  Also I checked to make sure I had the latest versions, but it does seem to be causing a problem in my game.  I only use a few non-awesome hacks but I always check them for conflicts.  I also removed all custom food from my downloads thinking it might be that but it wasn't.

I really like the idea behind that hack and I do have a few other hacks concerning food but again no reported conflicts so I might just remove anything food related and then replace them one at a time to see which one is causing the problem.

Well here are the results of my testing.

First I took out all food related hacks.  They went back to the stuff face habit instead of eating.  They just want to stuff face.

Second I added hack for stuff face but no others.  They now prepare food as they use to then leave it sit until it goes bad or dispose of it but at least they eat.

Third I put in dizzys hack for auto store food and have a leftover.  They cook as usual but as soon as they put any food in the fridge as a leftover they will not cook or eat again, they will die first.

Fourth, I removed all hacks, forced them to cook and then put in as leftovers.  They would not cook again.

Tried some other variations but it all came down to leftovers.  As soon as a leftover was put in the fridge they would no longer eat.

This has only been since Freetime.

Have you tried the "all food hacks except the stuff face hack" variation? I have the leftover and auto-store hacks, too, and as long as there are leftovers in the fridge, I have neither face stuffing nor starving sims.

No I haven't because I think Dizzy's hacks are working for others.  I have read some posts on other boards that people are having problems with Sims eating since Freetime but it only seems to be effecting some people and I seem to be one of them.

I think I did, I have tried so many variations but I'll give it another shot tonight when I get home from work.  Thanks for the help.

I've just remembered something: Do you happen to have twojeffs' "food already available" fix? If so, you must get the NL version of this hack, or it will stop autonomous fridge use completely if there are leftovers (except for the stuff face, which you stomped with another hack). See this thread over at simbology for more details.
