    Sims will now use the dining table to eat again. Sometimes if I’m in a hurry, I grab a meal on the go and don’t sit down to eat, but sometimes you need to sit down and enjoy a nice meal, you know?

    Fixed in Patch 1.67.45/ 1.32

    If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

    Please give details what you're eating if it's still happening and post a picture of your setup.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Português
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.62.67.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All. (January 2020).
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Ask your sim to buy food from a food stall, and watch uncontrolled Sims do the same. You will see that they all stand close to each other and do not use public tables to eat.
What happens when the bug occurs? Basically, when Sims buy food from food stalls, they ALWAYS remain standing. This is something that happens 99% of the time. It is EXTREMELY rare to see Sims going to sit down to eat at a public table after buying things at the stall. The result of this is a cluster of Sims next to each other, all standing, close to the food stall. For me, this is something that breaks the immersion of the game a lot, it gets weird.
What do you expect to see? I hope that Sims will use public tables more often after buying food at food stalls, which is not happening right now.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

It's been a long time since I've noticed this bug in my game, and I took pictures of it on several different occasions.

The bug is very simple to understand.

Basically, when Sims buy food from food stalls, they ALWAYS remain standing. This is something that happens 99% of the time. It is EXTREMELY rare to see Sims going to sit down to eat at a public table after buying things at the stall.

The result of this is a cluster of Sims next to each other, all standing, close to the food stall. For me, this is something that breaks the immersion of the game a lot, it gets weird.

Currently my game is in the most recent version, but as I said, this problem is something that I have been observing for some time, some several months.

@SimsTime Great work capturing these images I didn't even think about public venues. I know it happens in my Sims homes from time to time and I cannot fathom why. It doesn't matter where the dining room is either.

    I find that if I have a kitchen island with seating or a bar with seating, they are more likely to be dumb and stand while eating. That being said, it's always a crapshoot with my sims on whether or not they sit at the dining room table or not while eating. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Sometimes when they don't they chose another logical place to sit, like at the kitchen island. Usually though, they just stand in front of the stove, chowing down on whatever they just cooked. They never sit to eat at food stalls, unless they start a conversation with another sim and that sim is seated. Or they luck out during the musical chairs they play while conversing.

    Since I offered it in another thread, here is my latest save file. Maybe it will help, maybe not.
