Dine Out nearly unplayable

Try using smaller well routed restaurants with less tables, that helps a lot.

I upgraded the Chez Llama Resturant by adding two more cooking stations for this very reason. The only thing I don't recommend it placing it in Magnolia Promenade because that little town is horrible in restaurant lag for some odd reason.

Ok, good to know about Magnolia Promanade because that’s where my restaurant was!

Anyone else still having issues with Dine Out? I don’t have any mods or CC, and yet it takes hours for my sims to get their food (if at all) and eat.

There's currently a known bug where sims will autonomously stop eating their food because the action falls of the queue after they order the food. If you are having problems go to the Sims 4 Bug Reports HQ.

The experimental food photos are also bugged.

As to your question I never use dine out unless I want a lesson in frustration. It simply does not work. A two hour meal can take all day. I don't know what the problems are, but I simply don't use it.

Sorry for everyone who has problems with dine out. It is a gamepack that I really enjoy using and I take my sims out to eat often. Ohh, don't worry, I have a couple of other bugs in my game so it's not like everything runs smooth but going out to eat does.

It's really a trade off eh ;) What works great for some, doesn't work for others. At least we get some stuff to work most of the time? I have so many bugs, but so many things that work too so it could be worse? Ha. At least I still find ways to enjoy the game.

Ha ha, I know right.

My sims eat out several times a week without any problems but try to take a picture and it is a blurry mess. No tripod, max lvl photography or best camera in the game can save them. And I’ve got screenshots from say 4 years ago when my sims took perfect pics. Oh well. I will make a bug-report, just haven’t gotten the energy for it yet.

I will let my sims go out for a meal tonight and raise a glass for all those sims who are less fortunate in culinary adventures at the moment. Stay strong, it might get fixed.

Raise a glass for my sims please! They can run a restaurant fine and the townies can all enjoy meals, but if they go out to eat themselves, they watch the tables around them come and go as they slowly starve in their seats... *facepalms*

Raise a glass for mine too. They are served their meal but I have to force them to eat it sometimes several times. And if at the table there are Sims that I do not control they will not eat a bite. What a waste of food. Bad for the planet.
