Re: [ARCHIVED] [DO] Restaurant Problems

Are you using mods in your game ?  If so, please remove them

See this for more information: [PLEASE READ] Usage of Mods and Custom Content

Also is this a restaurant you build yourself or a premade ? Are you having the same issue in other restaurants ?

No mods installed, And i am using the Prebuilt restraunt made by Maxis themselves, Le Blanc Restraunt lot by MaxisCreator_01. And yes, Its occuring in other lots. Its also occuring in firends of mines games as well who have the same situation as me. 

Willing to share your save game ?

If so, please zip up this folder: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\saves, upload to mediafire or dropbox and PM me the link.

Sent a dropbox link to you via PM

Thanks. I'll check it out.

Here is a video of the bug in action taken from a youtube video (not mine)

https://youtu.be/O_8YTW4Oglw?t=10m41s

You can see they get up, Sit down, Get up, Sit down. Repeat. Then just stand there ignoring the food. This is similar to what happens to me.

Do you have the food putting down as well ?

I'm not seeing it to extremes in your game but I know what you mean.

I do see that on occasion in mine too

There might even be another thread floating around .. starting to loose track what here and what's on the forums.

It does not happen in my game all the time, but it does happen often. And yes, They will sometimes pick up the food and eat standing up, Sometimes putting the food down on other people tables. It seems to be worse when my restaurant is full. To me it seems like they are attempting to engage in a conversation with another sim, But the game is forcing them to sit back down because they are in the restraunt waiting for/ Eating food. And the result is a loop of them getting up and sitting down. Well thats my guess anyway. Apparently the devs stated before Dine out was released that this bug would be fixed.

Do they ever put the glasses on the floor though like in James' Video ?

Sometimes, sometimes they also put them down on other peoples tables.

Did you ever see a waiter just place the dish on the floor (not the fail animation but take it, then put on floor) ?

No, My waiters always deliver the food to the correct table. Its only the customers bugging out.

OK. Thanks

I'll skim through the threads in a bit and merge if necessary.

Really need to do an adding session :D

So much to do

I've added this now but changed the title a bit

@djbearrrr

I have this bug, but it's not really pronounced in my game. Every so often there's a couple of customers who don't know they have their food & it's right under their noses. My customers do wander a bit & tend to get up when I want to recommend something or check on their table, but it's more of an annoyance than anything. Recently I had a critic that didn't want to leave... Unsure if it's related.

(I have a more annoying bug but it's not related to this at all... gonna peek around to see if anyone else is having the issue. If not I might test a bit & see if I can solve it.)

I'm using the simray with the command 'eat'. This problem just applies to single guests in my game( I bought Dine Out after its first patch). The simray command 'sit' sometimes helps with guests who are standing around and did not speak to the host yet - even though the host is not seating anyone else in that moment.
