Please FIX Dine Out. Please Make Get To Work function properly.

Dine Out : Dining out is a pain in the rear. It takes hours for the food to be served and by the time they finish my sims are all worn out. Last time my sim dined out it took about 8 in game hours for the whole fiasco to wrap up.

GTW : Get to work has a good concept but troubling execution. The cop career especially is very bugged out. Suspects who dont show. And clues missing at times. This is a $40 EP. Unacceptable for the main features to just not work properly. Fix them.

  • I love both of these packs but I can't play them because of how bad they are in game. I know my computer is not the best, but I watch TheSimsSupply who you know has an awesome computer set-up and he has the same issues...I just wonder why they are not even attempting to fix it? I guess that just blows my mind that more content is released with out the previous content being fixed so it can be playable.

    Yeah its really bad. Because its like stealing almost. They get our cash and we get features and packs that dont work properly and are totally unusable at times. Bad business practice.

    Hmm 7th or 8th gen? Laptop or desktop? Weird though :/ it's not that I don't believe you're having these issues btw, I just wonder why some have them so much and others barely or not at all.


    It's a new gen processor . I have 16gb RAM and I run on Ultra with an average FPS of 170 <3 Yes, its a laptop and laptops can run this game. Regardless it exceeds system requirements. So anyway, after I made this post I went and then built my own restaurant, to see if its just an issue with the gallery ones I was using before being less functional due to MOO cheats being overused and also the use of more than one of each required item. Basically just to test the pack itself. I didnt use MOO in my build at all and my Outdoor dining restaurant turned out beautifully . The food actually came in a timely manner. Not even a full sim hour. So, my guess is that a lot of builders are putting their restaurants together in a way that is less than functional way. Not slamming the creators, I love them even though I prefer to use my own lots. But they could ease up a little.

    Because the restauraunt i built myself after making this post serves up food fast and again I did not use MOO. I am building my own lots now anyway, so its fine and I want to use MOO very sparingly. Im not sure that was the only issue going on. But its likely @SimTrippy


    As a builder... I'm curious to know what you think is the more functional way?

    For me, after a bit of testing, I found giving the waiters a lot of space to come and go helps.


    Yes, give them enough space, don't overdo it on the seating options either (restaurants that end up having to serve 30+ tables might be a bit much), try to avoid MOO as much as you possibly can, use little CAS, don't use alt all the time either to move objects around. I think by sticking as much as possible to what the game allows you to do without cheats in terms of building, the better.
  • Just needed to vent how frustrated I am with dining out lately for these two reasons: 1) Waiters constantly drop dirty dishes on my sims table while they are still eating 2) after the food is served random diners pick up their plates and start eating their food. This is the most annoying as I either have to order more food or they leave hungrier than when they got to the restaurant after waiting so long for the food to be served and then having it stolen. Dining out use to be one of my favorite social activities for my sims but not any more.
  • Huh what is wrong with Dine Out besides the fact my sims will starve before they get food 8 hours later.

    I have problems with waiters not properly cleaning the dishes, but the food gets always served quickly.


    My only problem with dine out is that the waiters sometimes stand around and don't clean up the dishes. For me my food only takes 2 to 3 hours


    But the sims shouldn't have to wait that long to get their food.


    Yeah, they shouldn't. I built my own restaurant and without MOO or any of that nonsense and finally they got their food in under an hour.


    If you don't mind me asking.What is Moo ?

    Moo is the move objects cheat.
  • I'm having issues with the other sims in the restaurant snatching the food my sims just ordered right off their table. It's getting bloody annoying.
