The sims 4 dine out issue

So I have had the Sims 4 dine out expansion for a while, everything was going fine I bought chez llama, hired employees trained them up and slowly worked my way to having a five-star successful restaurant.

Then everything went to crap when I installed get famous 3 weeks ago it's practically bugged out my entire game, there's multiple issues I would like to address but the main one that annoys me the most is that my customer account in my restaurant will always be zero no matter what, people never get served their food and they just randomly get up and leave but I still make meal profits?

There are people actually in the restaurant ordering food but most of the time Sims will just get up and randomly leave after ordering without eating or paying a few seconds after they sit down and order

I'm currently uninstalling everything and reinstalling everything to see if that fixes the problem but if it doesn't I will update the post

    Go to Documents/ElectronicArts - inside will be The Sims4 folder
    Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
    Step 2. Fix the game in Origin
    Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
    You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
    Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
    Step 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder. Start a new game with a random sim and play for 10 minutes.
    Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
    "saves" and Tray.
    Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
    Step. 7, Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
    Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder and TrayDeleteItems file
    Step 9. If you don't use mods - skip this step.

    Check if there are newly updated version mods you are using.
    Then copy and paste your mods and CC from old mods folder to the new one. First copy the scripts mods every time checking if the game is working properly. If you have a lot of CC try 50/50 method ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)
    Step. 10. If all is OK - delete The Sims4 old folder.
