Dine Out Booth Issues

So idk why but the booth and the table I set with it; together they don't register as a dining spot. I can tell because when the restaurant is open, I can't sit at tables that can be used by customers but with the booths, I can. The only booth that works is one that I bought that already had a table attached but I dont really like that one because its just a tiny square table. Is there like a trick to make them work?
  • That could be a bug in your game bc I've not heard this one before; have you tried repairing your game, and do you have mods/cc?

    TS4 doesn't have true booths, unlike in TS2 and TS3, they aren't even modular seats like before.

    I'm not sure this is the case, but do not try to attach two booth seats to one table it'll bug everything out.

    Really? Whats even the point of having them then?
  • For pathing you have to have one empty square at the end of the seat for the Sims to "skooch" across the booth seat. So the table you attach needs to be one grid square shorter than your booth seat.
  • I have seen this bug on the pc but for me it happened with a square table. I couldn't pick that table to dine out. Probebly need to let SimGuruNick know.

    Im using a larger rectangle table and it doesnt recognize it as a dining spot. And the one booth that is marked as a dining spot in my restaurant, the host doesnt ever send customers there.

    I'll try it out and see if I get better results.
