[NEEDS INPUT] [DO] [GF] Can't Set Fame Requirement on VIP Doors in Restaurants

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.48.94.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except My First Pet Stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have your Sims travel to a Restaurant venue that has a VIP door from Get Famous on it. Click on the VIP door.
What happens when the bug occurs? The option to hire a bouncer appears instead of the option to set the door's fame level requirement.
What do you expect to see? It makes sense for Sims to be able to hire bouncers for VIP doors in restaurants that they own. However, the player should be able to set the fame requirement for VIP doors regardless of what type of venue the VIP doors are in.
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 

I haven't tested this yet, but the fact that a Sim has to hire bouncers at restaurant venues, even if the Sim in question doesn't actually own the restaurant, might also mean that a Sim visiting a restaurant would have to spend 100 Simoleons hiring a bouncer just to make a VIP area of that restaurant accessible.

A possible workaround for the problem of not being able to change fame requirements on VIP doors at restaurants might be to go into Build/Buy mode, change the venue type, go back into Live Mode and change the fame requirements on the VIP doors, and then go back into Build/Buy mode and change the venue type back to Restaurant. However, that still leaves the problem of Sims visiting a restaurant possibly having to spend 100 Simoleons in order to hire a bouncer and make the VIP section of that restaurant accessible.

Also, if I remember correctly, Get Famous might have been supposed to add caviar as a new food in the game, but caviar doesn't seem to be appearing as an option to add to a restaurant menu.

    I'm having the same issue. No mods. Can't seem to set the fame level at all. No matter what I do.

  • I was having this issue too, however, there is an easy fix. Buy the restaurant in question and then you can set the fame level. Seriously, just hop on your phone, chose buy a restaurant from the household menu, then pick whatever restaurant you wish to own/modify. I wanted to set a fame level for a restaurant because there is a current bug that has sims eating other sims food, so I figured it would be easier to dine out if I could limit the amount of sims in a restaurant. It's not perfect but it definitely helps. Happy simming!
