Restaurants aren't working in The Sims 4

Restaurants aren't working in The Sims 4. There's no host or chef on the lot. There's no option to request a table by clicking on the host's counter. I have Sims 4 Studio and Mod Manager, but I haven't found any options to fix this error. I've also used the repair function in EaApp. I use some mods, but the restaurants worked normally with the ones I have.

    Having this issue - fixed all of my mods and updated.  8/22/25.  Any one have an idea what it may be?

    If you use Carl's Dine Out, the newest update (Aug 20) might fix your issue.

    I did this and it worked without the mods. I'll play like this for now.

  • Please follow these steps to test  your game on vanilla game with no mods/cc

    • Move your mods folder to the desktop and
    • Delete the following files from your user folder.
      •  localthumbcache
      • Any lastException Files
      • Any LastCrash files.

    Test a backup of your save as you will loose all cc on the save and see if the same error occurs, then report back.
