Help, how is the "feed a bite" interaction supposed to work?

It's supposed to be a romantic interaction. I can choose it from the pie menu, it will stay queued but will never happen and then the sim will already finish their meal. How can I make it work?

I've never managed to make it work in the game and finally I'm frustrated enough to ask..

  • @siirysiirI haven't ever seen this interaction in game before. Do you have any mods installed? Perhaps any expansion packs that changes food interactions?

    Apparently it is from the Dine Out pack. "Sims are also able to host two social events at Restaurant Venues: Birthday Parties and Dates. These events unlock special interactions and moodlets such as the Flirty +2 Moodlet for eating with a special someone. You can also use the new “Feed a Bite” interaction available for Sims sitting side by side on a dinner date." (copied from simsvip Dine Out guide). I haven't tested out that interaction yet since reading this thread.

    @mzda_grl ah, lovely! Thank you for confirming this as I wasn't really sure. Now to just figure out how to make it work... 😞

    I finally tested it on PC and it works as described.

    Edit: see my new post down below for a detailed explanation.

    @siirysiirif it doesn't work for you and it works for mzda_grl, any mods that could interfere with this? Maybe one of them is overriding the action?
    Sure way to tell would be to take out your mods (move folder to desktop), delete localthumbcache.package, reload your game and try again.

    If that's not the issue, it could also be a simulationlag issue. If it takes too long for your sims to get around to do the action, they might finish their meal in the meantime. Are you experiencing lag in general?

    I should have mentioned that while your Sims are on a date, sitting side-by-side, with a plate of food, before they start eating, pause it and cancel the eating interaction. Now you can select the "Feed a Bite" interaction and watch it play out. I've added a video.

    @mzda_grl ahh the cancelling might actually be crucial! I have to test this if I get it to work in my game... Also I wish this was possible otherwise than just during dates. I don't see why it couldn't be an option with romantically involved partners as I do it all the time with my spouse at home.

    You're right in that the cancelling action does seem to be necessary, otherwise the sim will eat their whole plate of food before feeding the other sim a bite. Not sure if it was intended to be that way, but at least we figured it out.
