The Ubrite Commons Cafeteria was working fine until about a month ago (I've sent more than a dozen students through Britechester with no problem) - when it suddenly stopped working properly.
I'm p...
Ideas
I can work on sending a save via Google Drive (I don't use One Drive) but in the meantime I have found and am testing a possible workaround for the Ubrite Commons cafeteria problem:
1) In Darby's Den build mode, change the Lot Type to Foxbury Commons. You can do this from the Neighbourhood screen or better yet in Live Mode when your Sim is on the lot.
2) Add the required Foxbury items (2 Robotics Stations & enough computers to bring it to four). Save.
3) Go into Live mode, send a Sim if you haven't already; the worker will show up and the food station functions normally. S/he'll be a Foxbury Vendor.
4) Change the Lot Type back to Ubrite Commons and save.
If you do this while your Sim is at Darby's you'll see the Foxbury Vendor leave and the Ubrite Vendor arrive.
If you do this between food service hours the Ubrite vendor will show up at the correct time.
Note: I am still testing this but it's been working consistently for me for about a week. My sim is no longer a student but I have her drop into Darby's Den often to see if it's still working right. So far, so good.
Try this and hopefully your Britechester U students should be able to eat for free until EA come up with a fix.
This also seems to fix the problem with either too many Sims showing up all at once or a completely deserted Ubrite Commons. The students now generate on the lot normally..
Hope this helps. :-)
Thank you so much!!! This has been bugging me for so long! Alot of what I found online was blaming mods but I've been playing on Xbox. Changing the amount of Sims didn't work for me but your steps of changing lot type to foxbury and back again has. Hopefully they'll fix it eventually in case it happens again but thankful to have seen this work around.
Glad it's working for you too! I test it pretty much daily and it's still working okay. :)
It doesn't work for me. After changing the lot to Foxbury it works but later you come back next day back to same problem
Ok I try different approach and it worked. This time instead of my sim being at the commons while in build mode, I send my sim to another lot, in this case my sim was in Foxbury. Then I go to world map and select ubrite commons and enter build mode and change to Foxbury commons. Then return to my sims in live mode. Then repeat the same process and change to Ubrite Commons. The cafeteria was there when I arrive but other sims still spawn when my sim arrive though not many this time
