What in the world is this nonsense? (photo)

I haven't noticed this bug. But the other day I had a couple to go dinner and when we arrived at the restaurant and were about to sit down the NPC sim who invited her whips out a bowl of cereal and starts wolfing it down.

I first noticed this glitch quite early on after installing the new world when I added a restaurant to the world then a further issue developed which was food stalls not opening because the NPC's would stand a little way from the stalls for hours never actually opening them and then I got that old glitch where my sims put the food they have cooked straight into their inventories and on some community lots the barbecue cooking (despite which barbecue I use) is a one in 3 chance whether my sims will actually get any food at the end of the animation.. such fun and so predictable :)


Hi @83bienchen

I am adding my mods back slowly because everytime I i open the game to play it seems like there is another bug/glitch occurring which is really frustrating including this one which EA have apparently recognised as a bug right now however I must go look for your mod you mention in the hope it makes a positive difference in solving the glitch. I also just wanted to add that I hope you are feeling better and wanted to thank you for your updates on the broken mod thread even when you were feeling under the weather which it is much appreciated but I am sure we could have all waited a little longer if necessary so you could make sure you really were feeling much better. Thank you for everything you do for the 4 community :)

Sims bugs are like Hydra. XD Cut one head off, two more will show up. LOL.

@JACKIEJOY - :lol: :love: those lyrics! if it isn't against forum rules, that'd make a funny signature! However...might also cause you grief, & I wouldn't wish that on you. Thanks for the laugh, at least! :grin:

@83bienchen You are lucky! I have your mod in my game and my Sims still get their food stolen :'(

It's really starting to annoy me. My sim just went on a love day date to a restaurant. They couldn't even stay seated together for the whole date and their food was stolen. It's really ruining the fun or dining out for me at the moment. I think I'm going to just avoid restaurants until they release a patch to fix this issue. The game is so buggy at the moment it's actually frustrating to play.

Just make one of the random sims you play own the restursant, the playerable part is not effected by the bug only the non playable restursant.

After reading about his problem, I decided to test my game out. I had my celebrity Sim take his high school sweetheart out to dine in the wee hours. Guess he thought he wouldn't be besieged, but you know when you're hungry after a concert, you're hungry. Well, his fans must have been hungry, too, because they and the Paparazzi followed him to the small eatery, The Oak Alcove, named after the lot. Finally, he had a chance to order for their table and after his Obsessed fan was dealt with and their order finally came, his girlfriend got up from the table. While she was standing to the side, somebody stole her donut holes. I'm surprised they left her coffee alone. My celebrity must have known something, though. He took his plate with him. LOL Guess he's used to being interrupted and figured the only way to quell his growling stomach was to eat standing up. Wish I had pictures.

@83bienchen My apologies. Your mod does make a difference. I thought I had put it back in my mods folder after I took all my mods out because of the patch, but I forgot to put this one back. I just tested. And although the sims do not all eat their meal completely they do not steal anybody's food. So relieved!

I wouldn't mind it if it was allowed by traits like klepto and self-absorbed(because being so full of yourself means anything is yours for the taking), and there was a way to appropriately react to it(like yanking the plate out of the offender's hand, slapping them, or just sulking because of the Loner trait). But when it happens so commonly, it definitely needs addressed.
