[FIXED] Bartenders not serving drinks

I have this issue too. When my sims goes to order a drink, it just keeps charging her over and over again but the bartender never makes a drink. Not using mods.

The same problem

One person reported that this -- Put your Saves, Tray and Mod folders and Option.ini file on your desktop. Delete the rest of the The Sims 4 folder from your Documents > Electronic Arts folder. Then start the game, exit the game, and put your moved items back. Delete the Scratch subfolder from inside Saves. Then start the game again. -- fixed the problem if *one* Sims is ordering a drink, but not if multiple Sims are. 

That was me.  I also have a report on this as well.  I was able to get the drink when only my Sim was at the bar, but when others came it turned into complete chaos.  My Sim stuck around and when all other Sims left the bar, one returned, ordered a drink and got it.  However, 2 more came up and tried ordering and complete and utter chaos again.  Lol, but I am being serious.  Everyone was waving their hands.  I thought we were at a sports event doing the wave or something.

I have this as well, i noticed that when youhave your own sims "tend bar" that they serve drinks to everyone just fine.  I think it's just the NPC Bartenders that are wonky :P

This issue could als be related to the borked lot types.

Could you guys check on your lot types ?

Also try reparing the game on Origin

I did check the lot types on all of my lots, they are the correct ones.  Tried repairing the game and still they are spending simoleons like it's going out of style for invisible drinks..it's quite funny actually to watch.  

Pity.

I think I'll need to give that a try myself.

It's also happening to me in all lots that have a bar. The game lots and the downloaded ones or the ones I made have the same problem. I repaired the game and took out all my mods. But it's still happening, in all situations. Dates or just normal gameplay.

And there's not just the bartender not working, all Sims in the lot just decide to go and ask for a drink. Before this last update, maybe most of them would ask or some of them, but not a bunch of times and not together. They keep waving and asking. 

Sometimes, if my Sim goes there and ask for a drink, he'll receive it, but just him. Most of the time the bartender just wave like there's some problem.

Also if my Sim asks for a drink, the bartender start to make it but if some other Sim comes and ask for a drink too, the bartender stop everything and nobody gets a drink.

And the french fries just appear in the Sim hand when he ask for it, but never the drink. I can normally tender the bar and give people drinks.
