I've been creating restaurants in different worlds to make dining out more realistic for my sims. After creating a restaurant in Henford by converting The Gnome's Arms into a diner, I noticed a recurring issue where most customers will request a seat and then leave shortly after being seated (sometimes even before) . They get a thought bubble showing a vehicle, pillow or sleep symbol, then their star bursts and disappears, and then they leave. If they stayed long enough to order, sometimes the food isn't delivered to the table and disappears from the waiter's hand, or gets stuck on the table since no one is there to eat it.
I've been playing 2 households, 1 to own all the restaurants and make the staff highly trained, as well as make the menu costly and realistic. That household is the one I've been witnessing the diners consistently leaving after a few minutes. The second household, when they visit that restaurant, usually experiences a missing chef in the kitchen. They can order, eat and pay just fine, and the remaining diners appear to do the same as well, but a chef is almost always missing.
I've tried demolishing the restaurant and building it back up, using a different restaurant I've built that works flawlessly in another world, and building the restaurant on another lot in Henford-on-Bagley. They all result in the same issue. Playing on Xbox, no cheats used on the test save and this issue is seen in no other restaurant I've made in Newcastle, Magnolia, Windenburg, San Myshuno or Sulani.
I've never played a restaurant in Henford before, so I'm not sure if this has been an ongoing issue. I just really wanted my sushi restaurant in Sulani, my pizza restaurant in the city, and my homey pies restaurant in Henford, but it's not working!
Is this a known bug with some sort of fix?
