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. -.-

This is happening on console too. It's annoying enough with one sim but it's worse with a family as they all huddle round together or they walk across the house and sit or stand near a pet or family member. They also go and sit in the pool, involving an outfit change too obviously. I always have stools at the kitchen counter and usually a dining table close or in the same room.
Grabbing leftovers, they always stand at the fridge door.
They will not eat at the outdoor dining table when food has been cooked on the grill and all trot indoors to the sofa or sometimes even the computer desk. Can't really have a dinner party or BBQ as guests don't sit at the desired place together.
At breakfast when you need them to move quicker, I usually assign stools or chairs to them but typically, that's the one time they do choose a seat themselves... resulting in musical chairs and late departure to work or school.
Sometimes it helps to set the table, but then you have to reset each individual place setting every single time.
Should be a simple thing...sit at the nearest stool or chair.
