[MOD RELATED] Chef Station is Bugged
Every restaurant I have in game (both owned and unowned) has a chef that does not do his or her job. I have finally narrowed it down to the chef station being the culprit. The problem is that once the chef arrives to "set up" his station, it gets stuck. This causes the chef to walk away and revert back into a regular sim. Instead of the "Manage" interaction you are supposed to have with restaurant employees, you end up with the regular social interactions.
I have observed this behavior with and without mods in the game. I have also repaired the game and still have issues.
Needless to say, without the chef, the restaurants are completely non functional. Please fix ASAP!
I actually found the culprit. Scumbumbo's Door Locks mod was causing the glitch. I had it hidden inside my CAS CC sub folder and once I deleted it, the game went back to normal.
