Dine Out nearly unplayable

Does anyone know how to get food from other Expansions to show up in the Dine Out menu? I recently installed Sulani and I was hoping to see new food items pop up in the Dine Out menu but they're not there. I can only get them from the food stalls. Is this how it's supposed to be? If there is a cheat out there or this is simply a bug, please let me know.

@feenalockheart @popstarissa you can. Go to the worldview and edit the restuarant, in the upper lefthand corner click the gears, there you can change the menu of any restaurant. Also the uniforms of staff.

There are some youtubers who have restaurants that only sell pufferfish. You can customize menus, uniforms however you want and also determine the dress style of simmers who dine there.

Also, add more chef stations to cut down the wait time to cook and serve food.

Dine out is a mess. I haven't had any issues with slow food too often but sims are not even finishing their meals and they are walking around looking at artwork. These issues have been going on for a while.

I just bought Dine Out within the last couple weeks and it's okay. My biggest complaint is that I can't use my own homegrown ingredients for a "farm to table" restaurant. I have been trying to find how to request this feature but I can't figure out how to do it. I know I'm not the only one who is interested in this. Does anyone know if this is on EA's radar? Happy New Year!

Yes! Mine always walk around instead of eating and ordering, and then they get mad about wait times.

Dine Out has gotten buggy lately. I hope they work on this pack in the new year. When it works, it's one of my favorites.

They actually fixed the REALLY big bug that was introduced with one of the Sulani patches: The "Guests steal food from each other" bug.

Personally I find it usable again, although my last experience was a waiter that dropped our food (never seen that before) and we had to wait even longer to be served. Plus the Old Salt House restaurant always places us outside. In thunderstorms. Because why not.

I had this problem too . Alwakys sitting outside in snowstorms and rainstorms. Then I realized you can click on a table to request it.

I like to take my sims to eat as a chance for them to get better aquainted. My restaurant is small and has two chef stations , Also I make sure to order immediately so my order goes in first.

I really want this pack, so I hope it gets fixed up eventually.

New to this pack, and I experience a few issues with guests that I bring along to dine. The guests randomly get up (or not so randomly, in case a celeb is on the lot), but they always return to the table.
My own sims do not have free will, but even so they sometimes sit down, get up, sit down and get up before eventually sitting down, but only right after I claim a table. Never during meals. They will also all of a sudden stopp eating/drinking and need to be told to resume.

Have been encountering the following on an increasing basis of late:
Sims wandering around, including my own
Long serve times
Wait staff does not clean up the dirty dishes - the tables are littered with them
Meals dropped and not cleaned up promptly
Wait staff appearing in everyday attire, not the prescribed outfit
Wait staff going off to the nearest bench for a nap
When going to a restaurant with a sim not under player control said sim does not finish their meal (that my sim is paying for), sometimes does not even start eating at all

This pack is in need of some serious repair!

On the positive side, have likewise seen the pilfering stopped. On a humourous note, Lilith Vatore - who can't eat normal food - is the regular chef at some establishments.
