The food on the plate suddenly disappeared. :grin:

Yes, I have this problem too. I have a zoi family of two, and this behaviour occurs when: The zois finish eating, the food suddenly disappears. Before 0.9.0, I can store the leftovers in the fridge and eat it for subsequent meals. This also happens for “Set table for an event” and I have six meal…

i noticed this happens when the Zoi performs Tidy Up after finishing eating. As if the Zoi is tidying up the untouched ‘yet to be eaten’ plates alongside with the dirty dishes :thinking: as a workaround i make sure to Store in Fridge for the excess plates and then let the Zoi to eat :sweat_smile:

The problem still persists doesn’t it?

I had this happen yesterday with a new save. My new couple just moved in and the table auto set with 4 plates, only one Zoi ate and as soon as he finished - all the plates disappeared from the table. He took his own plate and washed it though.

I am also having this issue when I “Portion and Serve”. Out of 6 household members, only 3 get to eat before the other plates disappear. I think the first zoi to eat triggers it when they automatically clean up their plate. It’s like they grab ALL the plates.

Update on experience, with more specific details: The behaviour that the food disappears apparently affects ALL food (that is not being interacted with, regardless of whether it’s the same type or not), once a zoi finishes eating and cleans up their plate. I had three zois, two of which are eatin…

Does it really affected all foods? :open_mouth: Is it the same in children too?

My current game has 2 young adult zois (Zoi 1 was their friend/visitor), I don’t have a game with child zois yet. Will try again at a later game if I can replicate that behaviour by scattering food around the house and see if they disappear when a zoi finishes eating and cleaning up.

I had this issue too today. My Zoi baked a plate of pastries. He ate one and when I returned later, the left overs just disappeared. I controlled the Zoi the whole time so he didn’t trash them. They just disappeared while my Zoi took a shower. They were placed on the kitchen counter.
