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.

I had it happen last night when going to restaurant. Food gets delivered and townie strolls up and immediately steals the plate eating it front of the couple. I just couldn't help but laugh imagining if this ever happened IRL.

If you haven't 'me-too'd' the bug report for this, please do so!

Yeah, I killed the first sim that stole food too. My sims were stopping for breakfast before going on a trip to Sulani, so I had to cheat away the death moodlet so it wouldn't ruin the trip. Stopped killing everyone when I realised my sims would get quite lonely if I did.

I started deleting food snatchers in my game the other night after they kept coming back. First, they snatched the main course and then they came back to steal dessert. I think I wiped out most of the adult pre-made population by the time my Sims finally got to drink something. Nobody steals sparkling water. The culprits were Bjorn and Clara, Geoffrey and Nancy. Victor and Lily, Mortimer and Bella - they're all gone now.

I added my "Me Too" to the bug report.

It used to bug me a lot until I realized I can just steal it right back from them! When they go to sit down at a table (they nearly always do) there's a moment between setting it down and setting themselves down when the opportunity is ripe! I just steal it back and enjoy my meal. I paid for it after all!

I have to say...I have been so mad that I have been making my sims do this. I will spam click that plate until they have their food back.

OP, I agree with you. This is the worse bug ever.

Hate it with a passion. Restaurants are my favourite thing. I love building, running, visiting them and this bug just kills all of these things. I mean sure I can build but why when I know it won't be functioning properly? Honestly if this isn't fixed in the august patch then I don't have any more hope for dine out and maybe any other bug xD I mean the "Me too" on the official bug report is already at 700 people and I believe a lot more people actually have this problem but just don't know anything about the bug report

I was not aware that this food stealing was already a problem. I only experience since the June-patch. I also let my sim steal back the food when possible ? I also already hit the MeToo-Button because that is annoying....

I expected this bug being fixed with the July patch. I was really disappointed that they did not fix it!

EDIT: Somehow I am enjoying this stealing food back by now ? Nonetheless I hope it will be fixed with the next patch!

I think one of my criminal sims stole someone else’s food, I’m not sure though.

What really drives me crazy is that someone will steal my sim's food - and then it doesn't belong to my sim anymore and so I have to use cheats to get it back to them. In real life, you don't get to just walk up to someone, take their food, and tell them that it doesn't belong to them anymore because you're holding it.

It'd be frowned upon, at least...but the other sim diners don't seem to mind, since they're all doing it.

Hey there, considering this is a bug I'll have to ask you to post it on The The Sims 4 AHQ as we are unable to take bug reports on this forum anymore. There may already be a thread open on this bug there which you'll be able to search for, if not then you can make a thread and see if others are experiencing this issue and have a solution. I'm going to close this thread off as it makes more sense to have it on AHQ
