No Auto Food Grab after Cooking

This mod prevents sims from taking a plate right after cooking. Optionally it will also stop sims from cooking or taking a quick meal, when a sim is currently preparing a meal. 

How this mod works:

This mod adds a custom hidden buff to your sim while cooking. This buff has a duration of 120min.

The buff prevents the sim to autonomously take a plate, grab a snack from the fridge/cooler, or cook as long as the buff is active. (Be aware clicking auto fill/auto solve is autonomously behaviour too!)

The “Call to Meal” interactions will remove the buff and your sim/sims called to meal will eat. You can also take a single dish via “Take a Meal” which will delete the buff of the active actor.

This mod is compatible with my “Choose who you Call to Meal” mod!

***

Optional Addons

Household
This addon adds the buff to all your sims in the household when someone cooks. 

24 hrs Buff
Instead of 2 hrs sim(s) won’t cook/grab food for 24 hrs unless the buff gets removed when they get called to meal etc.

NPCs No Food Grab
Disables NPCs from auto grabbing food. I recommend my "Choose who you Call to Meal" mod to be able to invite them to grab a plate.
