When a Sim is on the phone, the game internally considers that Sim to be 'Talking' to the other Sim, even though the other Sim cannot be seen. This can also apply if a occupied house is moved directly to the family bin. Deleting a sim directly this way only deletes the main Sim files, and leaves behind any memories, friends, and wants/fears that Sim has and corrupts them. The only known way to fix it apart from deleting all custom foods is to use a mod that hides all custom foods in food contests.ĭeleting a Sim directly from the family bin can corrupt the neighborhood, due to it not deleting all files related to that family. In all versions, Custom Food uses an invalid ID when it is used in cooking contests.
