No, they'll completely just pick the closest room just to eat.

Micromanage your Sims! I always have my sims sit at sofa and watch cooking channel.

So grab a meal then have them sit where you want them too!

if they go to closet room and over ride your choice you might have a glitch

    @grungy-salt With the micromanaging they still go somewhere to sit down before going where I want them to sit. If I queue grabbing food and sitting in the sofa and watching TV my sim will grab the food, go sit down somewhere where I didn't tell them to sit, get up, go where I told them to sit.

    @Amondra That's something I saw a lot when I played the BFF household. They ALWAYS went to sit outdoors, even if there was a storm going on, instead of sitting in the kitchen. I ended up selling the outdoor table. -.-

      @SqueamishNerd ^ THIS (the first point). It's so frustrating that when I want them to sit somewhere specific and have that queued after grabbing the meal, the sims will still go and sit somewhere else before sitting where I want them to sit. Like if I want my sims to have a conversation while they eat it's sometimes impossible because the first sim has already started their meal and will finish it by the time the second sim is done walking around choosing chairs. The worst is with drinking coffee/tea with a meal. I queue interactions for grabbing a drink and grabbing a plate but unless I stop them, they will get the drink, go sit somewhere, finish the drink and put the cup in their inventory and Then go grab a plate. This whole eating/drinking multitasking is so broken in this game. >:/

        @siirysiir What I sometimes do is to have them put the servings in their inventory (I think it's called "take a plate" or "take a serving" or something like that), then I can drag the serving from their inventory to place on the table. It's harder with drinks since the action must be cancelled (except for the drink trays from Spa Day and Backyard Stuff) if I want to place out the drinks. When I've placed all plates and drinks I turn off autonomy and have my sims sit down at the table, and when everyone is sitting down I tell them to eat and drink. This is if I really want all my sims to eat together, for holidays and such.
