- Table settings will no longer disappear when Sims sit down to eat.
Fixed in Patch 1.47.49
I've seen this in my games as well.
My memory on how it was when placemats were first introduced is foggy at best, but this may possibly be by design. Regardless, the expected results you mention are what I would expect as well. 🙂
Edit: Think I remembered how it worked. The empty dish on top of the placemat disappears when a sim has chosen a spot to eat his meal at and placing his/her full dish on top of the mat.
The mat remains until the meal is finished and the dish is cleared away. It would seem the placemat and the empty dish on top are no longer considered as separate "objects" and when the empty dish is flagged to disappear, the placemat also disappears with it.
