Sul sul!

  • Love seeing all these screenshots and attempts to get our sims to have that true family holiday meal we want them to sit down for :D

    @Skeilah It's so nice to see you around the forums again too and I always love seeing the shenanigans in your game haha

    So it's not a fully goaled nor Christmas event yet. But my soon-to-be-blended family had thanksgiving turkey.

    The teenage daughter is a newly turned vampire so she made excuses and stayed in her room until after the meal.

    @mcrudd here are my best tips for getting them all to eat at the same time.
    Spoiler
    It works best if you have all the guests in your household so you can control them, and yes turning off free will is a must lol. I have one sim take enough servings of food and put each plate in their inventory. Then I make everyone sit. Then I drag a plate in front of each sims. While on pause, I select the “eat” option for each sim and then I unpause. You can start a couple conversations after they all have been told to eat so it’s not just everyone eating in silence lol. Even then, there’s still only such a limited amount of time that you can get a good screenshot ?


    @permanentrose @mcrudd I just "call to meal" and they come and take servings and eat together?
    As long as there's enough dining chairs and no clutter taking up places at the table, it works pretty well

    I do like to lock the kitchen except for the cook during dinner parties-- there is a lot of fridge snacking/cooking autonomy otherwise haha
