I just need to vent a bit.It's been forever since I took one of my Sims out to get a coffee, so I sent the one who was off work to a café in Windenburg. Had him order a Macchiato which wass the most expensive drink. There were only one other customer - Brytani Cho, but my Sim ordered as the first. As soon as his coffee was placed for him, the (very bad word for woman) steals his Macchiato while he is left with her cheap to-go.I utterly hate it when this happens and right now I feel like making her croak in some horrible way. Or at the very least choke on that coffee of his...

honestly i hate this so much90% of the time my first drink i order just gets stolen :/

Well, I have MCCC installed and decided to give her an untimely end. It may seem a bit harsh, but the sheer number of times this has happened simply pushes me over the edge. One can only take so much frustration. A big thanks to Deaderpool <3

Its so annoying. Especially when you order the plasma drink and a human sim swipes it.Like that was my cup of plasma, but fine enjoy cardiac explosion.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I like how gangsta Sims get when it comes to food. And it's such a great reason to start a fight! :) On a bit more "serious" note, I would enjoy it more if there was an interaction to react to this. If you could pick doing it politely like pointing out that they took your order and then, depending on the other sims personality, they would either apologize and buy you another serving or be unapologetic about it. And the other option would be to call them out on it. That would be pretty cool.

Eww, I really hate this with a passion as well. But once a while back I was playing a sim who was having a really really rotten, bad, horrible day, or in her case week, and it was the tail end of that week. To give you an idea of some of her issues, her husband left her for some or fella. After spending some time around the house moping around she decided to get out of the house, and head to a bar to get herself a drink. While there, she was still stiffing at the bar waiting, when her order was placed down right in front of her. Some woman walked right up and stole her drink. Well, my sim was not having any part of that went up to her (with a little encouragement from me) and fought that woman. Long story shorter, my sim won the fight, the woman left, and my sim took back her drink, and thoroughly enjoyed her victory.

Sims stealing food & drink (gripe)

This used to drive me mad! Now I just get even. As soon as the townie's (none of my sims to date have been caught doing this) hands touch the plate, and before you can say, "Townie slobber on my din-din," I pause the game, reset the offender, causing the plate with the yet-untouched food to appear on the ground in front of them and shift click on the offender and modify in CAS, replacing them with one of the many sims in my gallery.

One less socially maladaptive and frog-faced townie in rotation and dinner is saved.

If you are not opposed to mods, I am using a mod by Bienchen that helps with the food stealing in restaurants.

When this happens in my game I make my sim go over to the thief and become enemies. I don't use mean interactions often otherwise.

I've basically stopped using the Café venue and have turned mine into Restaurants instead. No random sims joining my conversations or sitting next to strangers, no musical chairs, and no one stealing the food and drinks away. Café they say? More like Cafeteria :(

i actually make several of my sims do this to unplayed sims when i take them to bars or whatever. "ooh, that looks like a nice drink. mine!" and the townie sits there for a second, then orders another drink. fair play since they do it to mine so frequently

I loled, i dont think i have experienced sim stealing my drink/food but i do get annoyed when some sim visited my house and "make themselves at home" by grabbing dish at the fridge I was like "Whaatt??" And forcefully use resetSim to take what is mine, most of the time.

The Café venues are broken and have been for a while now. Pity, because I loved to take my Sims there. The bars are not affected (knock on wood!) so far and getting food and drink from them is fine. I find that if I put a café down where its not traditionally placed, like in parks and libraries and such and have my Sims just hire a barista the drinks and food don't get stolen. But then again, your Sim(s) are the only ones buying anyway...

@LaBlue0314 I'm glad it ended that well. My Sim who has maxed out his fitness skill lost a fight with Geoffrey Landgraab earlier. Would you believe it? The shame is almost unbearable :#

My sim stole his dates plate today and I thought it was working as intended. :D
You guys think its a bug or might it be behavior connected to traits? He really isnt a nice sim.

I've never experienced this before until the last patch. I hope they fix this soon. At this point, I'll just keep my sims home.
