[BY DESIGN] Sims invited to restaurant are unable to sit at requested tables

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.109.185.1030 DX11
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all packs except Batuu and a lot of stuff packs.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Send two Sims to a restaurant and request a table. Once the table has been assigned, try to have the Sim that didn't request the table sit at the table.
What happens when the bug occurs? When I send multiple Sims to a restaurant, only the Sim that requests the table can sit there.
What do you expect to see? I expect all Sims invited to a restaurant to be able to sit at the table when it's requested.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

I have all updates/patches installed. The game worked fine until the reaper's rewards started. The rewards panel showed up then it started showing up without the tasks. When I send multiple Sims to a restaurant only the Sim that requests the table can sit at the table. Other Sims the "sit" button is greyed out and it says "Sims can not sit at tables that aren't assigned to them".

  • So, I found the problem

    Seems like when you travel with other sim it doesn't create an automatic group anymore (this still happens when you ask a date for example but not when normal traveling) so when you get to the restaurant there's no group formed and when you request a table, it will only count you. So to fix this for now you should manualy create a group with every sim you want to eat in a restaurant. (Exactly how it worked in The Sims 2)

  • I am also having this issue. Took group of four sims to restaurant (all active household), had one request table, only that sim was able to be seated. All other sims had the "sit" option greyed out, saying they can't sit at a table that's not theirs. All sims were inside the restaurant, and the issue still occurred when I gave up the table and had another sim request it again. 

    I am also having the date glitch, where the table can't be requested at all on dates.

    I use a few basic mods (MC Command Center, etc.) and have about half of the packs. Dine Out hasn't really been that buggy for me up until this recent patch/Reaper's Rewards.

    This is correct. If you request a table but the sims are not in a group, they will perform the action separately.
