Find that group meals suddenly vanish of their own accord?

Sometimes I'll get my Sim to serve it up; he'll put it on the table, and suddenly it'll just vanish into thin air and my Sims don't get anything to eat.

So, I have to go and make more

No but i found that when i make group meals it costs about the same as a generic meal but you need more

Yes... i have found the same problem as you. (person that made the tread) My food vansihed but i still bet it!!

This has happened to me several times. In fact, I caught the culpret in the act. It was on of my roommates who decided she would clean up for me. I had just taken one plate and no one else had any. She then picked it up and threw it away.

Then the maid did the same exact thing the next day. Witch.

It happens to me all the time... Sometimes when I'm done eating they just vanish, or if I set the food on the table or something.

it happens alot to me(mostly b/c i starve my people) and when theres food they go running and it goes be4 i ever get 1 plate...and the maid and others try to clean up after me...EVIL!!!
