Cannot eat in a restaurant (The Sims 2)

My Sims cannot eat in a restaurant when he or she is out for holiday in The Sims 2. When he or she orders a food, he or she did not start to eat, and someone just picked up the food! Is it a bug?

  • It's a bug that has been in the game since Nightlife that they never fixed. Between when your Sim gets the food and when they start eating it, there's a moment when the game considers the food unused and other Sims can take it. There is a mod that prevents other Sims from snatching your food or drink during that moment on Mod the Sims called RestaurantFoodBarDrinkFix.

    Oh, thank you! I thought it was my problem only, and I feel very frustrated

    Unfortunately there are a lot of problems that they never patched out, I assume because they had no choice but to move on to Sims 3. On Mod the Sims site there's a master list of mods that they put up for Legacy, some which are just helpful, others which are pretty much necessary. It's worth checking out. It's also the site I send people to whenever they are having a problem that I know there's a mod for. I've been a member for 17 years. There's a lot of useful stuff there.
