When my Zoi sat down to eat, I switched to another Zoi through SPACE, then came back. My Zoi is eating, but the animation is not playing. An animation is played that she is just sitting on a chair with a fork in her hands.

I think I’ve encountered this glitchy animation / bug in my game once or twice too 🤔 Only happens when switching between Zois or even households while the eating animation is performed though.

I don’t know about switching households, I only have one adult Zoi and one small one. 🤔 Try it, maybe it will work.
