Re: [FIXED] [DO] Can't request table in restaurant on a date/Hang-out

I'm experiencing the same issue. Can't request a table on a date or when requested in a date. I play on Xbox. No mods or cheats. When I logged on the game did a update. Now It's not working!!

    After the update it still didn’t work for me. 😭 The option to request a table showed up but the host/hostess never seated them.

    @Syxarp 

    I moved this to the bug forum.

    Could you please edit your post and add the following info to your post.

    Product: The Sims 4
    Platform:
    Which language are you playing the game in? 
    How often does the bug occur? 
    What is your current game version number? 
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? 
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 
    What happens when the bug occurs? 
    What do you expect to see? 
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? 

    There is this older bug which I'm unsure if it's still happening but that was more that the tasks didn't complete and only if you owned the restaurant. Linking it anyways.

    We need an immediate fix/patch for this because it makes the dating/event system basically pointless. There are ways to work around it for now however that is the point of the love struck pack. I have this same issue, made a post about it as well.

    I play on console and having the same issue. Restaurants that I have been using successfully now cannot request table. 

    I have been trying to dine out on a date, haven't tried dining alone yet.

    Last used the restaurants a week ago with no problem.

    I play on Xbox, all packs and expansions. This was working fine until the most recent update. I can request a table solo, but not on a date.

    I’m having the same issue since the last update. Have had this problem at two restaurants now. Other Sims get seated  but not mine. They walk up to Host Station and then nothing happens.

    Product: The Sims 4
    Platform: Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1
    Which language are you playing the game in? English
    How often does the bug occur? Every time I want to go on a date with a Sim
    What is your current game version number? Version 1.109.185.1230
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have your Sim use their phone to ask another Sim out on a date and go to any restaurant. When you arrive at the restaurant, go to the host podium, and request a table. 
    What happens when the bug occurs? The host pushes buttons on the tablet (or whatever it is) on the host podium, and then shrugs.
    What do you expect to see? The host giving my Sim and their date a table
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, but I noticed several people who are playing the game withOUT mods and cc having this problem.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? I'm not sure, as I haven't had a Sim go out on a date since before the nursery and artist kits came out.

    Restaurant dates are an important aspect to my Sims game. It's easier than going to any other venue for me. What is going on with this game here?

    EDIT: Also, my Sims do not own the restaurant any of the restaurants in my game. This has happened so far with two restaurants. When they are NOT on a date, I can get a table. When they are on a date, the host will not give them a table.
