Dine out Dilemma

@Simmingal back in 2016 I did a tutorial on how to hire sims for your restaurant, since its so many moons ago not sure if it will still work, but hey you can give it a go if you like. Tutorial can be found here ... https://forums.thesims.com/en_us/discussion/889921/tutorial-on-how-to-hire-your-own-sims-you-made-to-work-in-your-restaurant

There is a mod by LMS if you are not opposed to using those.

Oh! thank you so much

yes I think all the sims that showed up were homeless and I do indeed have most of the sims on lots so maybe I should see if it helps to plop some of these sims on lots and take some other sims off lots

(well except for the npc that can't be homed to function in their existing roles like old crumple that still might take over the selection screen :sweat_smile: )

The only way I know of, is for your Sim to own the restaurant, but that is quite the hassle and isn't very profitable. Plus, if you get it staffed the way you wish it to be, then sell it, I don't know if your work will remain. Sorry. Oh, I can't even imagine dear, sweet, old Agnes being a Server. :open_mouth:

Yeah I have Robleses owning the restaurant but I keep getting same sims on the hire staff screen

I think they need high charisma and mixology skills to show up in the possible employees selection panel.

I thought so too but its showing the sims with like 1-2 skill points I wonder if my restaurant has to be better for it to show better skilled sims

You could try play it as an owned restaurant for a few days. Might also be that those sims you want to hire need to be unemployed and their neighbourhood stories settings allow for them to be employed/change jobs.

There's the assign jobs mod by Zero.

It is a pleasure :) I do hope you come right, if you read through the thread it did work for some simmers and not completely for others. I guess it depended on their game saves at the time. Let me know if it still works, we have had so many base game updates since then... changing so much of how things look and work, so I hope you can still follow my screen shots version of my tutorial ;)
