I was just wondering if it's possible to make a cat cafe in the game. I love the one that's local to me and haven't been able to go for a while, for obvious reasons. However, I don't currently own Dine Out because it's said to be so buggy, and I know that when I made a bakery I couldn't get sims to eat the products whilst in store. :( I own all EPs except Eco-Living and all GPs except for Dine Out, plus a few stuff packs.

You could make a cafe that welcomes cats, with lot type cafe and cats welcome trait.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking. It wouldn't be the same but it seems like the best option.

Cafe lot type is from Get Together, I believe. And Restaurants can't be Cat Hangouts anyway (I remember trying to change the one bar in Brindleton Bay to a restaurant and I had to pull that lot trait.)

Yeah, I love Get Together and couldn't play without it now. I was just wondering if Dine Out's restaurants had functions that the cafes didn't. Hmm, I wonder if I could make a cafe with an apartment on top so a human could live there with their cats. I suppose they couldn't run it as a business though.

You couldn't get customers. I wonder if you did that though and was able to hire a barista from the coffee bar and invited bunch sims over?

I just added the cat friendly and cat hangout lot traits to a cafe and it worked great. Lots of cute cats showed up, some of them took a nap on the table or jumped on the counters. It was pretty cute! But yes some of them were sick so i am gonna try and see if a mod solves this.

I decided to try that but I couldn't find a way for the pet cats to live in the apartment above the cafe once I locked the doors to keep visitors out.

Cat's can use those "dog doors" too can't they? Instead of the people doors.

(I made this as a funny caption, but the "dog door" is behind the cat.)

I don't do it that way. eg: Father Winter has bought many get well treats from the Vets and gives them to any sick cats & dogs that visit his lot in Windenberg. He fills food bowls in an open shelter, rather like a bus shelter, on the corner in front of his garden. Sometimes he gives them treats to befriend them. It seems to work.

I've locked the garden gates and doors though so they don't come inside his garden!

I completely forgot that those doors exist. Oops! Now I feel silly because my back door has had a cat flap for 14 years...

Such a lovely idea and good suggestions! I have to try to make one in my game too :smile: I might go with a sim who has cats and has their home as a club hangout.

I'm playing a different household in the save I placed the cafe in. I'll have to send a sim and see what happens, whether I can interact with any cats.

Update - I sent my sim there on a date with his mistress (he also has a wife!) and some cats did show up at the cafe!
