[FIXED] [DO] Food placed by customers in Restaurants

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.54.120.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats and Dogs, Get To Work, Jungle Adventure, Dine Out, Romantic Garden Stuff, Holiday, Grim Ghoulish
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to a restaurant (any) and go dine out there (or work there if you own a restaurant), after a while you will notice something strange
What happens when the bug occurs? Multiple hamburgers are placed by a random sim.
What do you expect to see? Expect to not see other people (or my own, cant confirm this yet)'s food on the table when you go out to dine at a restaurant.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. It happened after the recent patch; which had the issue with other customers eating other people's meals at a Restaurant.

So after a while, I cannot remember if it happens to your own sim as well, but I noticed some Sims will put their own food on the table, particularly hamburgers. It's not just a single hamburger but also multiple hamburgers on the table, enough to fill the table as well as other table (other customer's).

As the screenshot shown, the customer (guy with a mustache) placed several hamburgers on his own table as well as other people's. I have checked the burger's status it is owned by him.

I have also experienced certain cases where the food are rotten (green scent coming out) while the time i own a restaurant and was working there.

This also forced the Dine Out experience to be very displeasing (to me personally) and when owning a restaurant the waiting staff (and the owner) takes forever to clear out every dishes and after a while more are spawned again. The burger might not be hamburger (but vegetarian variation i cannot remember as i type this but i can sure i can replicate this problem again if i go out to dine again)


  • Random NPCs will not leave Hamburgers on tables at restaurants anymore. As much as we like to receive free food, we don’t think it is proper to get them randomly from a stranger.


    Fixed in Patch 1.63.133/ Console 1.25

  • Customers bringing food to restaurant only happen to me once so far, since I rarely play restaurant lately due to customers won't eat bug.
    Mine didn't as annoying as what others describe. It's just a single plate and I removed it.
    If it happen to me again, I'll share the save file.
    By the way, is it just my feeling or TS4 team really engage more lately?
    Thank you anyway for putting more attention on bugs especially it piled up this much.
  • @SimGuruNickHere is my save file, saved right when customer placed hot dog and hamburger on the tables, wait a little longer and that person keep placing spoiled grilled food on the tables.

    If you need any details, please let me know. I hope these Dine Out bugs get fixed asap. My favorite game pack right now.

    Oh, another issue you can find on that save file is Anaya Jang is on queue line while his husband Baako Jang and their child is eating on a table. This is not supposed to happen.

    After her husband and child finished eating, they will eat again with Anaya Jang. I know it's double profit but I don't want bug.

    What is your current game version number? Current
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Monchismo and My First Pet
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not overly sure, I suppose one way would be to go to a restaurant or a festival and see NPC sims pulling spoiled food out of their inventories.
    What happens when the bug occurs? Spoiled food appears on the lot making sims react negatively and causes clutter on tables or on the ground. Sometimes NPC's will eat the food.
    What do you expect to see? No spoiled food.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

    I'm not overly sure if this is a new issue or one related to sims randomly finding spoiled food and eating it. Anyway, so I noticed when I took my sim family to Chez Llama that one of the NPC's at the table next to them had a hotdog, normally I wouldn't bat an eye, but like I said the sims were at Chez Llama and their food isn't exactly standard. If the hotdog wasn't bad enough, it was spoiled. So I directed on of my sims (who had finished eating) to tidy up the rotten food, but no sooner had I done this, the NPC in question pulled two more plates out of hammerspace and plopped them down on the table. Once my family was done eating I directed them to pay for their meal and head home. The next sim day I had my family go to the flea market to find some cheap stuff, and low and behold the same NPC was there littering the tables with his rancid hotdogs, only to be joined by another sim who was pulling out spoiled frank n' beans out of hammerspace. 

    Two incidences have to be more than coincidence, I'm not overly sure how to classify this bug and if anyone else has had it happen. Any advice would be greatly welcomed.

    Thanks.

    Anyone still seeing this after today's patch ?

    EDIT: Since there haven't been any new reports since Nov that had a fix for a possibly related issue, I'm marking this as fixed
