Feedback on food/drink time reduction update

The amount of time a sim takes to eat food feels perfect now, but drinks get gulped down in just one sip. Could this please be set to 2~3 sips instead? As it is now I can't really get screenshots of my sims having a chat over coffee 'cuz the moment they buy their coffee and take that first sip before they sit down, it's gone. Same thing for bar dates.
  • I love the new speed; It's perfect for me. I think I'd be pretty upset if they went back to the old speed, which I hated with a burning passion.

    Now, I no longer have to scream at my computer screen, "Eat faster! Stop staring at nothing and just chew your food! You're going to be late for work!!" Even with faster eating and drinking mods, I always felt like it was still too slow. My sims can now wake up at a reasonable time and get in their shower and breakfast before work/school.

    I play with families, and I don't have any issues with them eating too quickly. I have lots of family dinners and they eat and chat with each other at the dinner table at a reasonable speed.
  • I like it tbh. Especially when my sims are going out to eat, they spend more time away from their table instead of sitting the heck down. And my families never manage to sit at the table together. If sims want to waste time looking at nothing, talking at nothing and deciding to eat in the 2nd floor toilet, well fine. They can have 5 minutes to eat so that they have more time to be obnoxious.

    It might depend on the house they live in. If Sims live in a three story home, it might make sense to maybe have a way to get them all to the table before half of them are already finished and gone.
