- Choosing the option to Disallow New Customers will now disallow new customers from arriving to your restaurant.
Fixed in Patch 1.25.135
For me there were like 5 more guests coming, then it stopped.
Are you using any kinds of mods ?
Adding a "me too" to this post. Here are my observations
I don't play with mods or CC. Crinrict, this is the same restaurant I uploaded to the gallery for you earlier today. If you need a save game, let me know.
Save would be great as I don't think it's related to the restaurant as such.
Here is the save: https://www.dropbox.com/s/30p7dg5dsv91tyr/Dine%20Out.zip?dl=0
At this point in the game, I disallowed new customers at 10 PM. A couple of strays whose parties were already dining showed up. And then around 11 or 11:30, Aleah Jennings and Tina Fournier showed up. I originally thought they were one party, but they were seated separately and then around midnight their partymates showed up. But they should not have spawned after disallowing new customers since none of the other party members were at the restaurant or even in the general vicinity (I watched them materialize from thin air).
Side note: I think this may be a separate bug, or perhaps as designed, but the disallow new customers setting apparently does not save with the game. So if I disallow customers, save my game, exit, and then reload, I have to disallow new customers again.... So when you load my game, you will have to click the podium and select "disallow new customers" for that setting to take effect again.
I've tested your save and although there's guests coming after disallowing it, for your save also, it does die down after a while for me. I had like 3 more parties coming and then no more. It's like it takes a while for it to be 'known' to everyone.
You're right, it does die down. But if for some reason(usually slowly seated sims or sims who insist on walking around before ordering) I have the restaurant open for 5-6 hours after disallowing customers, I will suddenly get a rush of new ones (usually at 4-5 AM!). At that point I usually throw my hands in the air and just close the restaurant.
I kept it open for like 12 hours afterwards and had 2 guests never leave but no new ones.
Interesting. So I don't know what's going on then... I guess I just have to "disallow customers" after 2-3 hours and hope for the best.
Question: Should the "Disallow New Customers" setting be saved with the game? Because as I mentioned before, I am not seeing it save. Since door locking is a similar functionality, I tested that and locking doors does save with the game.
