Broken Opportunity

[GloamingMerle]

I can't remember the exact name of the Opportunity, but it's the one for cooking from the school. It tells you to prepare two group meals of cookies then bring them to the school for the bake sale. Every time I tried to put the cookies in my sims' inventory, they'd vanish.. After making 3 or 4 plates of cookies I gave up and decided it was completely borked.

I had the same problem with that opportunity, I thought it must have been my sim that was glitched.

I discovered that if I kept the sim's inventory on screen the cookies didn't vanish, but as soon as I clicked away from her inventory the cookies vanished.  In my case the sim lived across the road from the school, so I was able to finish the opportunity without having to click on the map screen.  You could try sending the sim to stand outside the school before dragging the cookie platters to their inventory, so that you don't need to click away from the inventory screen once the cookies are in inventory.

Well.. first, I dragged the plates onto her icon on the side, which is a quick way to drop things into the inventory.. I didn't navigate into her inventory at all until I clicked on the school and realized that the deliver cookies option was greyed out. If you hover over it a moment, it tells you why it's greyed out. It said that I didn't have the meals in my inventory. I looked, and sure enough, it was empty. So, I made another plate and dragged it directly into her inventory window, and it vanished before my eyes within a couple seconds. At that point, I said "fuck this" and canceled the opportunity.

I think this may be the Robotic Hand of God being overzealous. Try turning it off using setconfig and see if the problem continues. THis will probably be fixed in the next version, I rewrote parts of it in the present testbuild.

Okay.. I generated a new config with the robotic hand disabled. I used the same sim, and same food. I dropped it into her inventory and left it for a few game hours.. It's safe and sound, so it would appear that the overzealous hand is the cause.

Baaaa for this.  I had the same problem with delivering a platter of grilled salmon - twice.
