Sims eat too fast!

coolspear mod still works. The Sims will take 8 bites. But the mod interferes with the new Rapido meal service. If you buy a meal for them you can do nothing with the bag except put it in your inventory. I do not know if it will also interfere with the Country Living groceries service. For the moment it is more important for me to have longer meals than to have the Rapido service so for the time beeing I keep the mod.

It would be nice if they had a work around. Like two different eating options. Maybe "have family meal" where the sims eat slower, and then just regular eating which is faster for needs purposes.

The issue is really time management. If you know you will need to cook in the morning, you wake your sim up earlier. If you don't want to wake up earlier, you can cook the night before or even two - three days before. My sims always have leftovers in the fridge, there is never the issue of no time to cook. And if your sim must eat in the morning surely they need to wake up early enough to do so otherwise we might next see that sims don't need to feed anymore because some people couldn't feed their sims before they went to work.

I have no issues with time management (beyond those I create myself). My issue is food cooking time = too long, eating and socialising time = too short. Most people seems to be pleased with the current settings. I, adly am not. I could wake up a Sim and cook early like you suggest, and then I'd still have to make sure to delay and give everyone else a chance to grab a plate at the same time. Oh well.

I'm glad about the fast eating, the slow tempo was extremely boring. I see the problem with family dinners, but my Sims - after having finished all the hugging-with-plate-in-the-hand - usually stay at the table and chat as long as I want.

I agree with the majority of what has been said already, nice to know I'm not the only one. They should reinstate the previous eating time for the sake of family gameplay. Meals end far too quickly!

Especially after they gave us picnics. Now it seems pointless to go through all the trouble of cooking, packing and traveling to eat 2 bites lol ?

I always felt like the Sims ate too SLOWLY. They'd take like, half the day to have a short meal and then we wouldn't be able to do anything else. I was really pleased when eating times were sped up. I'm very glad for shorter eating times.

Heh, in my house my mum's always complaining I eat too fast...

I generally like the faster meals most of the time. But I wish they would have speed up the time for the bite animation instead of reducing the number of bites.

But I agree with most here that this makes it difficult to have a family meal. It would have been nice if we had an option for slow dining as well. For story telling purposes or screenshots.

It isn't bothering me. I wish showers could be shorter too.

You must be the first person in the history of the franchise to complain meals are to short.

I already posted in this thread, but I’m still upset about this. I really wish someone would make a mod to change eating back to how it was before. I’ve been looking for months. I tried Bienchen’s more consumption turns and it was too fast.
