Modded vending machines?

I normally use this mod so my bakery looks pretty when my sims visit but normally my sims cannot sit and eat the purchased product on the same lot? which is why I often have a uni barista object on the same lot or a food register to combat this so would I be able to use the cupcake mod so my sims could actually buy and eat baked goods on the bakery shop premises? If so could you please let me know how I can do this.. I have wanted my sims to be able to do this for so long..

I have used the bistro mod and the eat outside mod which is great because i like groups to eat together as much as possible but never dare try the buffet tables mod in case it conflicted with the buffet tables in my resorts.. can that buffet mod be placed anywhere on community lots and if so do they have to be owned by a sim who gets paid or does it not matter?

When the actively controlled sim purchases a single serving ("Buy Food" I think it is), not a group platter, it goes into their personal inventory and they may then sit down and eat it. When an inactive does so, they may sit down and eat it of their own accord. But the latest version, v6, of the Cupcake mod is required to get these features. It was in beta testing for a while, then fully released in July 2016 summer so that was around two years ago.

On the IP buffet table mod, its behavior is different depending upon whether the buffet is on a resort or a regular community lot and who owns it. This isn't one of ours, but icarus explains the community lot thing near the end of the mod's description page under "Bonus Features." An additional add-on file is provided and required for community lots. I've never had a minute's worth of trouble with it on any kind of lot.

I did experience some initial confusion when I originally had a different, older buffet table mod from Simlogical in play that I believe had nothing to do with IP, but I since removed that one.

Oh and slightly off topic I spent ages removing all the fridges (including any outdoor types) from all my homes in IP that I am redesigning and then placed the 4 inhabitants the game had created into a house together and put back the fridge in that one and an hour later got a message stating these 4 named sims had moved out and into another lot that i know for sure had no fridges so can you possibly tell me why that happened when there were no fridges present on that lot?

Afraid I don't have the slightest idea how that could have happened, sorry.

Thanks @igazor

I downloaded all my nrass mods again recently when I went to the disc version of the game so i will check if my sims can buy and eat as they have never been able to before and even if I drag whatever they bought out of their inventories they would not eat it either so i stopped trying a long time ago.

After I add all my other mods back and test I may try the buffet mod I have most his other Mods so i am sure that one will not be a problem I will just have to learn the differences between the resort tables and the ones on community lots and so on..

I will report back when I test the bakery and no I have no idea how they all managed to move without fridges I hope it does not happen again :)

If this still seems to be a barrier, it's probably because the community lot you are on is not letting you drag the food to a surface. Try clicking on the single sized portion of food while it's still in inventory, there ought to be a command to eat it which should prompt the sim to find a place to sit down if they can, and in front of a table, if one is available.

Thank you @igazor and @SPARKY1922 :)
I'll be fine in a few days ( I hope ) my kids are sick too, so I'm just hoping we're not going to keep passing it around :s

Thanks for the help!

Oh wow, I do have that mod infact, but I never really touched upon that bakery set because it didn't suit my needs.

So I can place a bakery display (any kind?) and stock it with any food available (will it show the food in the display?), and sims (mainly my own) can purchase and eat the goods without any staff? That would be really great if so.

I poorly painted a vending machine. Does anyone have contacts for a real modder? I want to make sure they don't get food from it anymore. https://twitter.com/Yagwit/status/1028019059617480704
