I hate it. I'm so very sad about it. It ruined dine out as well as my long family dinners I enjoyed planning all the time??? I just want it to be optional!! Why can't we just have an option to eat normal speed if we want to so the player who want to enjoy the delicious recipes they bring every pack can do so? And 2 sips of water?!!!! This is madness???? all of the nerfing such as the huge crowds and fan love 5star celebrities would get
really upset me but this is one of the worst. Now you're literally taking away BASIC features??

This saddens me so much. Dine Out is one of my favorite packs of all time. This really makes me never want to pick up playing TS4 again. First it was my Vampires which I felt was the best in the series, and now DO. I really enjoyed that pack but over time it kept getting bugged and more bugged. I felt it was almost perfect once a person understood what it was about and it was about dining, which does take a long time in real life if you aren't just trying to go through some motions. The more they change this game just to be a grind fest the more I dislike it. I'm probably never coming back to this game because they keep nerfing the things I actually liked about it. :'(

Yea I just can't see having a literal entire pack centered around RESTAURANTS (that I use all the time) with tons of dishes that they only finish in TWO bites. It's just totally unacceptable to me...
Now I understand the whole situation with people wanting faster eating and thats fine. But I hate that when they nerf something they don't leave any options for the people who enjoy it. Seems really unfair?? I'll never stop crying about celebrities. Shame I don't know how to tune that one... it literally felt the sim was a true 5 star celebrity and the experience was very fun and exciting. Also easily avoidable for days when you didn't want the attention. Now I barely play with celebrities because they feel too much like any other sim. With a fan popping up here and there. Before the nerf I had stalkers in my house, paparazzi on my roof, a guard dog chasing them around and fans falling at my feet ??? it was so fun...
Good times....good times....??

And the last time I was trying to get my celebrity a quirk without cheating by repeatedly interacting with fans and paparazzi. Well... I never got it because there just wasn't enough of them. I spent all night searching for some and trying to interact before I gave up...
And then people complain ts4 is boring yet they literally beg for anything of excitement or added conflict to be nerfed I- ?
