Hello @toramonger ,
I've heard that this is by design. The kotatsu table do not support restaurants.
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
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? 1.89.214.1230
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try adding a Low Table to a restaurant that you are building per the 'Dine Out' pack's requirements for the lot type/restaurant.
What happens when the bug occurs? I just did an experiment, and I removed all of the dining tables and dining chairs for one of my restaurants until it registered as "0" in the seating requirement. Then I added an Asian style dining table (low table) - which comes by default with seating for four (see first screenshot). The game did not acknowledge these four places to sit and dine as seating for the restaurant. It looks like it's because you don't use chairs for low tables. I say this because I then tried to add a different dining table and as soon as I added a couple of dining chairs to the table the restaurant saw those as seating. However, if I placed two more dining chairs near the table but not snapped into place at the table, the game did not see those as seating for the restaurant. (See second screenshot.)
What do you expect to see? I expect the Asian style dining table (low table) - which comes by default with seating for four - to be seen as four seats that are useable to customers when I place this table in my game to make a restaurant when I own the 'Dine Out' pack.
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
