Cafes And Lots

I find it weird that if I make a museum and I put a café in it I have to hire a barista every time. I think anytime you have a café station on a non-residential lot a worker should appear without me having the hirer them.

    @LonelyFew, I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it was intended. 🤔 I'm thinking it was intended, but who knows!?!   If it happens to be a bug, then it has a chance of getting fixed anytime there is a new update/patch to the game.  The next patch is due in a few days on Nov. 13th! 

    But if it isn't a bug, and is working as the developers planned, then perhaps there is a Mod out there (if you play on a PC or Mac and  don't mind playing with Mods! 😉 )  Just keep in mind that with Mods and Custom Content (CC) that every time EA updates the game with a patch, many Mods will be broken until if and when the Mods creators fix them.  Therefore you would have to temporarily remove your Mods folder until the creators fix them .  Also, since the patch coming out in a few days is going to have some major changes, Mods creators have been warned that a lot of their Mods won't work. 🤨  It will take the creators some time to update their Mods/CC to work with the changes to the game!   

  • @LonelyFew I agree. I think that if we make a lot and it is not owned by a sim the game should send employees to run it, including a bartender or a barista as appropriate. It seems to me that the restaurants I place, do have their bars 'manned' by the game sometime (not sure if it's always) in the ones my sims own during times that other families I'm playing visit the restaurant and my sim family is not running it that day, but I haven't noticed if not happening with a barista.  It is interesting that if the game is running the same restaurant with a bar it will place a bartender, but I can only hire one for the job per day and cannot make money from the drinks. I can see how this could gum up the process of ordering food and drinks when you are running the restaurant since they are part of the menu/order. But that drink could be separate. As I said, it works when the game's running it. Anyway, both of those features getting a little tweak would be nice. And fixing the waiters who leave for a jog. I'm looking forward to that fix.

    @PugLove888 it will be exciting to see what changes are coming for sure, though I'd better look up a list so I'm not caught off-guard if there's a lot. Guess this is a moment that I'm thankful I don't use Mods and CC. One less thing. 🙂
