Re: [ARCHIVED] [DO] Restaurant Problems

Hello, I recently purchased this Expansion pack and all the customers inside my restaurant constantly sit down and get back up. Iv had several that sit down, Then get up to talk and stay up, Their food then gets delivered to their table but they never go back to it and then start to complain about how long the food is taking. This is not unique to me. From what ive heard through gaming forums these are common bugs. When will this be fixed? Restaurants are basically unplayable with this bug.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.
