Post "New Features in Dine Out: Reloaded v4" by "carlssims4guide" from patreon

Precious

Hey! love your mods but im so annoyed with EA's new July updates Hosts and chefs have not been spawning in owned and non owned restaurants. I have downloaded your most recent version of the mods which seems to be working just fine with no issues- but there are still no restaurant chefs and hosts!

Carl's Sim Guides

It's been that way all along, but I keep the 2 branches in their own posts so that the links always stay the same for people to be able to find them. When I create an update with new features, they go into early access but go back to the public within a few weeks.

FLINTENSTEIN

Didn't EA change their Terms & Conditions, making it illegal to charge for mods, like, 2 years ago? "After a reasonable early access period, all users must be able to access the mods in full for free regardless of whether they donate" Copied and pasted

Nat

will this mod remain behind a paywall?

Tayla Somers

having trouble, new to adding mods and still not having my host or chef show up for dine out

0conitum

After installing this mod, my fame increases when I sell paintings, even though it's turned off. After the reload, this didn't happen, so everything's fine :)

Carl's Sim Guides

For anyone who has this error, it's just when the game terminates a situation early or the phase changes due to some bug. It shouldn't happen frequently. if it does, my support link is in the sticky post on the front page of my patreon

Carl's Sim Guides

https://discord.com/invite/T42gU4bNBM I need you or someone else with this error to join the discord and share a LastException with me so I can get to the bottom of it. On my end, it's not presently broken.

Charteia

will this be updated I get the relaunch game error with the mod in

kadin shepherd

Hello! Love your mods, they never disappoint! One semi-related question - I have everything completely automated without any workers except 1 waiter to clean dishes. would it be possible to have an option for either of the following? 1. Customers clean up their own dishes at a designated spot or the closest sink. 2. Empty dishes auto-delete Thanks!

Ericka Pabilona

Hello I keep on having exception report about this mod. Is it possible to update this? Possible cause 100% for Dine out Reloaded - Invalid Tuning. Exception raised while trying to run a test event in test_events.py: (AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'background_situation')

Carl's Sim Guides

They are supposed to be about 40% entertainment/60% restaurant if you use it in a functioning restaurant. It could be just a bad roll of the dice or the restaurant needs to be bigger. At 5 stars with advertising it should be a very hopping place. I'm not sure if the customer count multiplier or adding more tables might help your situation. Thanks for the kind words!

Ashley A.

You're the best <3 Your content has truly improved a broken pack and I love the restaurant system. I had one question regarding the restaurant options versus entertainment/bar. When you turn on the entertainment/bar option, at least in my game, I ended up having no regular diners enter the restaurant. Instead, sims exclusively went to the bar area. Is this option a one or the other choice? Can restaurants not benefit from bars/entertainment areas?

Mai Shellei

my employees pay say $0. how do i change this

Mo

Hey, big fan of your work Carl. I am so sorry but I'm having problems with the latest version that of this mod (v4) I cant even seem to get it started in the first place. I have deleted all other mods and cc. restarted the game and even PC. and even deleted and redownloaded the mod again, but i still cant get to the mod settings...maybe i am doing something wrong? if anyone knows how to deal with it, SOS TT___TT

Dillan Dreyer

Its safe to assume it isn't, Carl has never exactly been the forerunner of keeping things updated, he is known for leaving vital fixes for mods behind permanent paywalls and not maintaining communication with paying members.

Jonfun 7

Staff are not showing up for me on version 4

Tiffany

Is the $5 link to a updated version besides V4.0982? I would like know before I sub. V4.0982 is not working properly for me.

Heather Dasher

I was able to download it for free. I had to search for it on google but it took me to another page on his patreon where you can download it

Chinobella

Hey, so are you no longer releasing this for free to the public?

Atarin

yeah, i dont see the download link, only "5 Patreons can download Dine Out Reloadad v4 Here" sentence

apples

that's what i'm thinking? it's been out wayy past the early access time...

Atarin

so to download this, i have to pay? it is not for free?

Hedo Júnior

hello! I just downloaded this mod, and it doesn't appear on the game. is this because of the life and death expansion? could you help me, please?

dominic collins

Hello

ThatBihD

def having L.E

Adaixa Torres Torres

Es excelente, pero hoy de la nada comenzó a dar error 😩☹️😢

Francine Bérubé

Ihave chosen to have customers order with the beacon. It works well. But many of them, once they have eaten, do not leave their table.

Carl's Sim Guides

To answer for others seeing in the future, it does not. Most patches will not break it and if they do I'll be on it.

Carl's Sim Guides

Hi there. I do not see any errors when I play, it might be a mod compatibility issue. I can't say much more without seeing it myself, and some of them are really wild given how some mods are outdated and break all scripts.

Carl's Sim Guides

Tuning errors are generally non-serious. Sorry I missed this comment. While I don't like them, them appearing is just something to fix so that the game doesn't have to auto-correct the tuning error. I went through and cleaned up a bunch in the last update but these should be notifications to modders, not players unless trying to find a broken mod.

Carl's Sim Guides

Mine still work. I have had players have some outdated mods that interfere with scripts, and this causes various employees to not show. I don't know what all mods can cause it.. i can just say that in my version, it does work, and they show reliably.

Darrius

the bartenders stopped showing up months ago

ThatBihD

hey um Patreon version giving me a L.E

Fayray54

Yes, you have to have Dine Out. Have fun!

Silviu Savin

i didn't understand if i need the dine out expantion pack for this mode

Stam

so, does this need an update???

Chelsea Clark

I am also getting a tuning error for this..

nicole squire

I am getting an invalid tuning error for this mod. I am assuming it is because of yesterday's update.

Laine Berry

I'm having the same issue with my chef even using the base restaurants that come with Dine Out. My chef will show up for 1-2 shifts and then never again, as soon as they enter the lot they leave. I've tried the 50/50 method on my mods folder and use the Better Exceptions mod to try and weed out any broken or out of date mods I missed. I love this mod but it sucks that I basically have to run my restaurant from home instead of being on the lot.

Deanna Harrison

I am downloading 4. I had 3.3. The problem I have been having is that when I visit an eating establishment, I no longer can order, it is ordered for me. I do not know know I have a setting wrong, but I am looking for the gameplay where I am shown to my table, order my food from the menu and then it is delivered.

Carl's Sim Guides

Do you use a lot of other mods? Some of them can interfere. Players can also use things like the moveobjects cheat that can make Sims have failures using tables/chef stations and other vital functions. I cannot know what is going wrong to cause this because there are too many variables, but my mod is not "very buggy" on its own. *Something* is going on to cause issues you have here, but I can't be sure without having a look at your restaurant and/or what other mods you may have installed that could be interrupting functionality. If you like, you can join our server to seek help. I just ask that you be patient with us. https://discord.gg/eFhFbfHJ

Michelle

ugh this mod is not WORKING at all!!! from my chef not being able to cook, to the customers not eating, i am not getting anymore than 4 customers who paid for their food. This mod is very buggy and im getting upset

Anita Eir Ingvarsdottir

i don't understand how to find the resturant menu, can someone please help

Victoria Von D

No problem for late answer! Yeah I got it solved now, I tried the customer count multiplier and it worked! Also when my restaurant went up for 4 stars, more customers came in! Thanks ♥️ now there is one problem: only me as a chef get dishes done, my two other chefs just cook but never finishes a dish. I what can I do?

Carl's Sim Guides

Sorry for the delayed response here. I am not sure if this could be related to star rating at all? Early on there is not much buzz. Using advertising + star rating and the hours as you noticed will all boost customers. You can also use the customer count multiplier setting.

Carl's Sim Guides

I've had a couple of people report this. Could you help me out and visit here in the #mod-help-compatibility channel? We can look at your log to see what might be going on. I can do so tomorrow. https://discord.gg/Rcbux9hE

Elise Arrozal

Hi! I have just bought your mod today and I love it but I hwve the problem of ALL my chefs acting like theyre cooking but no orders or food goes out, only if im the one making them. I redid my kitchen and made it with no moveobjects cheat to see if it would fix it but it does not :( would u happen to know the problem?

Victoria Von D

Hi! So I tried the mod again in different hours (8 a.m. - 4 pm) and (6 p.m.- 3 a.m.) still only like 3-4 customers showed up. This isn't normal. Without the mod, all is fine, there is much more customers. There must be something going on. Otherwise the mod is working fine and in other restaurants there is customers, but not in your own restaurant. I read someone else had this problem too?

Victoria Von D

Okay thank you for answering! I will investigate this and keep the restaurant open for different times to test, and let you know, you're awesome! ♥️

Carl's Sim Guides

Hey! So, bar customers don't care about hours very much but normal diners totally do. If you have it open outside peak hours (noon to 9pm or so) then you are going to see very few diners. Sims are just like IRL and are scheduled to come during peak dining hours. I am not 100% sure this is the reason, but most of the time it is.

Victoria Von D

Hi! Love the mod, but I´m having a little issue with it. There are not many customers coming to my restaurant, only three or four. And if more sims come, they only go to the bar to order a drink (I have the bar is entertaintment on) and don´t order food. I kept my restaurant open for 12 h and only 3-6 sim come to the restaurant. Am I doing something wrong?

RueUchiha

Okay thank you for taking the time to reply. I will try downloading the updated version.

Stephanie Earle

I keep getting a problem when serving food - it just resets with empty plates on the tables.

Carl's Sim Guides

This is an EA bug that I fixed in the last update. It is related to fame system and Sims not being able to be created in NPC restaurants. There can be other things that could cause it, but for most players it's EA's "fix" to fame that causes employees of various venues to not show up for work.

Renata Gustafsson

ive had the same issue for a while now, so I removed the mod from my game.

RueUchiha

Not sure if I’m missing something on my end but waiters no longer show up for me. They only seem to show up to restaurants that I own. Am I doing something wrong ?

ShaeTee

BaddiestB

for some reason, my sims cant eat or drink, is there a mod that conflicts with your mod?

Lois Ouellette

constant error - TODO: Exception thrown during Sim reset, possibly we should be kicking the Sim out of the game. (AttributeError: 'object_Campfire' object has no attribute 'part_owner')

Carl's Sim Guides

Possible some kind of backup software/error has caused an older version of the config file or mod to appear in your mods folder? Delete the dine out reloaded settings file and it will regenerate.

EmEm

Hey any idea why all of the new options disappeared? I had the bar option and different new meal options. But for some reason today they arent showing up.

Letícia Bulhões Pilan

same here

Mika Taylor

Hi I’m trying to have my sim play as the chef but the option to “be the chef” does not appear when I click on the stove

Quedote lancine

Is there a way to have a buyable bar without a restaurant?

Carl's Sim Guides

The 2 types of guests are separate. So you should have bar and restaurant guests with the option on. I want to separate them.

Carl's Sim Guides

Something's going on to interfere. Do you have any badly tagged CC or mods that might not mesh with DO Reloaded?

Infinity Beat-Tay

Dine out keeps showing up as a BE error for me with the new update and my sims won't eat.

Jeanna-simplysimmer

I love this mod !! Idk if im doing something wrong but when I enable the entertainment option all of the sims go over the bar for drinks, I tought we could have both, some that drink at the bar and the rest will sit to eat but in a 8h shift I had maybe 3 sims sitting down to eat and looots of sim over at the bar. Is there a way to balance the feature ? Maybe limit the ppl at the bar to like 4 ? (since we can only have 4 stools) or could you point me where I can find that in the options or what should I disable/enable ? Thank you in advance !

Nicole Benedetto

do you have to have the pack to get this?

Carl's Sim Guides

Ah yeah, that could be done. I'll add it into my notes for the next update.

Carl's Sim Guides

Yep!

Deirdre McCormick

is this the lates since the last update

Lorael Kirton

Hey love this mod so much and the new update. However I was wondering if you can add the option to have Sims choose random meals like the original dine out. Love the idea of three course meals but some people may just want them to choose one meal from either of the three categories and leave.

Carl's Sim Guides

Sorry Jasmine, missed your reply back. here's a new link! https://discord.gg/7Jsyg6wX

COCOIVY

There is a free version of this mod. You would have to download Version 3, if you want Version 4, you would have to become a member or wait until it becomes a free version.

Eva! !

Hey! I just saw a review of this mod and i really loved it and want to try it. But I can't understand the way to download it. Is it only available for patreon members under 5$ per month? It's an honest question because i'm not familiar wit the way mods work.

Vanessa Cristina Lopes Barbosa

Hey Carl! How you're doing? I'm just begging you to bring back my wedding stories fixes, please! This pack is still broken for me and for so many other people that i've seen

TG Carlyle

Haven't played this version yet, but I am looking forward to it. Before your mod dine out was unplayable. So I wanted to say thanks cause I can really enjoy it now.

Jasmine Parker

When you get the chance can you reinvade me to the discord. I had work over the weekend so just got back on the Internet. the invite you sent expire my apologies

Jasmine Parker

I appreciate you responding to my message even out of my frustration with the mod for clarity not with you. I removed all other mods and its just yours installed in my game. I'll check what you're telling me to do right now and see again. Thanks for your patience with me.

Carl's Sim Guides

While I do understand your frustration, my mod works. Something is either conflicting, or there is an installation issue. If you look into your Sims 4 mods folder, and my mod didn't create a log file and settings file (so 2 files becomes 4) then it was never even able to start up and something is wrong with the install. We can more easily chat here: https://discord.gg/eTDySddj

Jasmine Parker

I also tried everything you told Zach to do... It has to be your mod...Honestly I paid just for this and its not working

Jasmine Parker

Im having issues getting the restaurant options.... its upsetting

Carl's Sim Guides

Are testingcheats on? Try normal-clicking a host station. If neither of those work, it's an install / mod options not being on issue. Can't know for sure on this end :)

Zach Vi

I'm having issues even bringing up the restraunt options , I shift click the ground but Im not getting the option to bring it up..

Erik Rodriguez

I'm having the issue where only a few customers dine in. Usually the amount was 20 sims a day now it's roughly around 9. It started happening after installing the latest version :(

English orange

Heyy, I'm having and issue where the chefs cook but no food ever shows up. The servers take the order and deliver it to the chefs but the meals are never finished. I had this issue before the updates and I just bought a new computer and started over with my mods?cc so I don't have much in game. Any suggestions?

Leonor C.

Gotcha. Thanks, Carl! :)

Carl's Sim Guides

Could you join me in the mod-help-compatibility channel here? https://discord.gg/tt7ZMDJt Also are you certain the guests can route to a host station and that all lot requirements are fulfilled for it to count as a restaurant? We can talk it out I am sure.

veronica

I tried removing every mods I had and it still doesn't work

Carl's Sim Guides

Delete both the ts4script/package files in your mods folder and replace them with the new ones in the update zip file :)

Carl's Sim Guides

This is likely to be a compatibility issue with another mod. I have full control over the customer situations in my script, but if something else overrides sim spawning or customer stuff, it could conflict and stop dine out reloaded from spawning them. I can't be sure what mod it could be.

veronica

Hello, I don't have costumers showing up anymore after installing the mod

Leonor C.

What do I need to do to upload the recent patches, anything at all? I'm pretty new to CC...

Mkaila

Thank you so much! The new update is super awesome!

Carl's Sim Guides

The restaurant may need re-placed. The game is buggy in some area when loading up lots and creates bad data. I don't fully understand it, but it will confuse if the restaurant is owned or not. It's something in the backend I haven't been able to figure out just yet.

Carl's Sim Guides

This is likely what was fixed in the v4.05 update I did yesterday :)

alexis

hi there! your mod has made restaurants way more enjoyable so thanks so much for that! however, recently i'm having an issue where when my sims go to a restaurant to eat as customers, the hosts and waiters stay around for maybe 20 seconds before running off the lot, then new one's spawn but they do the same thing. i'm unsure if this is an issue with the mod or just a general game mod but, i figured i'd ask to see if anyone else is having this problem!

Rasmus Massie

there is a bug in v4 preventing Starlight Accolade host to announce rewards, rolled back to v3 - everything is OK.

Rachelz Rachel

According to the sims policy they could not sell mod or cc.

DarkFoxGirl13

When will this be available to the public?

Cirilla

The game crashes after I try to change the restaurant menu, what could it be? Do I need to buy the restaurant in the base game or is it mandatory to use Karl's mod?

Carl's Sim Guides

Fixed a bug some players had reported around multiple courses based on some input from players experiencing it. It should make guests as reliable as they were in v3 in terms of how well they complete the multiple courses before moving on :)

Rebecca Ripple

Thank you for making this mod! It sounds great, but I can't afford the $5/mo. subscription to download & use it. So, to the comment above, I say, "Yes, please! When? Can we please have a release date or ETA?" I hope it will, at some point, be free to download! Thank you.

when this version become free accses???

Melissa

Hi, I bought the expansion pack and unsubscribed. But now I can't access the entire read through anymore. I thought there would be a txt file with the pack. Can someone help me? Tnx so much.

Bakir Bogucanin

Yes I do! LittleMsSam But it is mostly better nannies or butler...Nothing related to restaurants. I bet it is some social mod...We have to thoroughly investigate lol

Carl's Sim Guides

They are probably claiming it. I would turn on the sous chef system, and set your own chef station as player chef station. This will make you claim all the orders and sous chef will knock required steps off the recipes. So they will help continuously.

cathy

Hello again, so I went to Discord and the suggestion I got there definitely helped! Thank you! One quick question though, I am wondering how does the game spawn guests, is the amount of guest everyday fully set based on star rating and advertising? dose it mean that if I have the extra standard diners set to 6, while getting larger groups, I'm also getting less number of groups everyday? not sure if I worded it right, like the total amout of 5-star is 20 guests, witch means either 5 groups of 4 sims or 10 groups of 2 sims? Sorry to bother you again, I am on a mission to make my very big restaurant as packed as possible XD

Jennifer Giresi

Thank you so much. These enhancements add so much to the gameplay. You did a great job on this.

Plumpkin Pumpkin

No worries dude! Hope you're having a great one. Good luck with any fixes you have to deal with, can't imagine what it's like to programme XD

Blake Bienemann

Carl, great mod. Thanks! Anyone have a tip for cooking alongside a hired chef. When I try to cook in the kitchen I will make one of the ordered dishes and from then on out every dish will come from the cook I hired and I will never plate another dish.

cathy

Oh and for discord, I have never used it before, maybe I will try it later, thanks again for all your help.

cathy

OK, so after a lot of testing with every way I can think of, I think the problem is with the three courses, customer have a lot of glitch with the second order, they could ignore the food they already got and continue to complain about waiting, or the waiter sometimes ignore their request to the second order, or they could finish all their food and still sit there all day long. I switched it off and only serve the main course, then everything works fine. I will play this way now, which is totally fine by me since the main reason I'm using v4.0 is the additional staff, but if somehow this get fixed in the future, then I will definitely enjoy playing with the three courses, oh by the way, the customer count multiplier works like a charm, you are wonderful for doing it, and done it so quickly, I am truly grateful for all your wonderful work! Your mod is the reason I can have the restaurant that I wanted.

Carl's Sim Guides

Thank you! I watched the whole thing and thoroughly enjoyed it. Appreciate getting to see it used in other people's restaurants :)

Jennifer Giresi

Hi Carl. I just finished my review for your mod. I love this mod! I did experience the glitch where too many people showed up but you fixed it. I hope you enjoy this https://youtu.be/ojCmbe7Iupo?si=5aq63zh_65dsiZMn I had too much fun playing with this mod.

Carl's Sim Guides

Well, grab the new version as it has a customer count multiplier so you can go back to double customers as in v3.x

Amaris Wilson

I’ll factor that in and see what changes. Thank you so much for all you do!!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

cathy

Thank you so much for the update!!! For now I am planning on testing it with other mods using the half/half method, I will let you know if I found the cause.

Carl's Sim Guides

Sure! thank you :)

Carl's Sim Guides

Thanks! I was just looking to make sure I took care of everyone and also to point out sometimes it's not the mod, but something weird causing issues heh

Rosie

Hey! This is amazing, thanks for all the hard work you put into this mod-literally a game changer!

Carl's Sim Guides

Just now added a new update with a customer count multiplier setting which will help with that problem (grab that download v4.02). I'm not sure what might be interfering here, but something most definitely is. Sims order and go into eat, then they have a literal timer to leave.. so something's breaking it. You want to meet us on discord to talk it out? https://discord.gg/9AAhTZK6

cathy

After another try, the guest not leaving issue is happening to everyone, and also they don't do anything else except eating. I have a 5-star restaurant and with the diamond advertising plan, still I don't get enough costumers. Everything else seems fine, I really enjoyed it, you completely improved my dine out play experience, thank you.

cathy

I have the same issue with the guest just sits there and eat, and they do not leave after eating. I also have other mods, the ones that related to restaurants are mainly Littlesims' mods, do you have the same mods?

cathy

Thank you for the quick response, I am going to look into it, I definitely used the MOO cheat every time I bulit something. And since you are here, a couple of things I noticed with my first try with the V4.0, first, I noticed the same issue with Paige Smith above, guest sometimes just sits there with the main dish (I have the three course all turned on), and they sometimes don't leave after eating, so they just sit there all day long. I also notice a decrease in customer number than the V3.3, but after reading your response above, I know it was intended as a bug fix, but I do like the big custom number since I have a big restaurant, so you definitely get my vote on bringing it back : ). Other than those couple things, everything else runs smoothly, thank you for your wonderful work!

Plumpkin Pumpkin

With the espresso machine by Harrie? That's me XD

Carl's Sim Guides

This might be purely how the game is tuned based upon hours. Overnight hours, the customer count multiple gets cut to only 15% of your star rating. It peaks at 11am and from 5-7pm. Is it possible you are seeing a lot less customers during the hours when people would not be slamming a restaurant IRL? Just checking this, as it's very much a thing. The tuning is set such that at: 1-star : 5 2-star: 7 3-star: 10 4-star: 14 5-star: 20 and this is all multiplied by up to double with the diamond advertising package. It's intended that higher star restaurants don't have to use as expensive advertising as having 40 sims with double is beyond most pc's capabilities.

Carl's Sim Guides

Is moveobjects on possibly used on anything they might dump the dishes into? Or on any tables they might be trying to clean? Sometimes players want them closer to the wall than the game intends them to be when picking things up. I know a looot of players use MOO so it's the first thing that comes to mind.

Carl's Sim Guides

Are you the person we found had a badly tagged cc causing the issues with host station?

Carl's Sim Guides

I'm looking into this. I fixed a bug in the previous version that was spawning double the intended customers. Turns out people liked it, so I think I am going to offer you all a multiplier that goes beyond advertising and increases the max available diners. For people with pcs that can handle it, of course.

cathy

Hello, newcomer here, really grateful for your work, been using it since I started playing dine out. One little thing, is it possible for you to make a cheat that make the empty dishes simply disappear, so the staff don't have to clean it? My staff sometimes get stuck when cleaning, and I don't know why. Of course, this is just a tiny suggestion, your mod would forever be one of my favorite sims mod with or without it, thanks for your working, you are truly wonderful

Bakir Bogucanin

This wasn't the case with previous versions btw! and I play with mods - but not sure what the issue might be - if it is another mod... Thanks for your help❤️

Bakir Bogucanin

Hey man! Love your mod and everything you do. I specifically subscribed to download this mod but a weird thing happens... all the npc sims just eat and do not interact with each other. Also elder sims keep standing up from the chair... Any leads?

Amaris Wilson

Hi! I love your mod, but I'm having an issue with the amount of customers. For some reason, my restaurant is only spawning 1-2 dining groups. I increased the maximum sims in a zone using MCCC, but I'm still having the same issue. Is there a setting in the mod for maximum customers at a time?

DWBL00

YAY!! i love this mod, downloading immediately cant wait to try out the new features!!!

Plumpkin Pumpkin

I did replace the host station but that still did nothing :( I'll pop onto discord a little later, thank you so much for helping me out x

Carl's Sim Guides

Not sure what might have broken your host! they normally immediately target the host station and walk straight to it. It's possible you could try deleting and replacing it as the game does assign relationships to some objects though I'm unsure atm if the host does this. Waiters is very odd. It makes me worried the guests are not really going into the order state. You might want to get with me on the discord so I can have a look at your save to see what might be the trouble: https://discord.gg/KAP4WyB5

Plumpkin Pumpkin

So happy to try this out! I'm having issues though. The waiters mostly stand idle and don't tend the guests much. They mostly clean dishes while I have to take orders, but they do deliver the orders so that's good! The biggest issue I have is that the host does nothing. They spawn but they stand idle outside, my host spent the entire 8 hour shift doing this. Is there something in the settings that I might have missed? I've gone over it a few times but no luck.

daluved1

Okay! Headed there now.

Joe Sokolsky

Thank you. :-)

dominik3bb

Mid-March I've heard

Joe Sokolsky

When does this go public, i.e. no cost? Thanks....

Carl's Sim Guides

One thing we can do, is i can try your save myself as it will help me to determine if it's save or a mod, since i have none of your mods. I can also take a look at a log and / or make a custom one so I can have a look and see how many the restaurant is expecting to make.

Carl's Sim Guides

I'm investigating both of those. They don't happen in every restaurant but it's some type of autonomy issue. They are explicitly told not to stand while waiting for or eating food. I don't have the issues myself, but I'm working with a couple testers to try to iron out why it happens and how it can be fully eliminated.

Carl's Sim Guides

It does eliminate bad behaviors and bugs that can occur in any restaurant. Player orders can still disappear under the right conditions, so yep.

Carl's Sim Guides

Join me over here eh? It's a lot easier to work out something like this on discord : https://discord.gg/qYrYuEbX

Michelle Hamilton

Does this Mod make visiting restaurants better too? I haven't played running a restaurant in years. Just visit them for a night out or dating.

Paige Smith

Tried this new download today. I have main dish and dessert enabled. I noticed that some customers will just sit there with the main dish on the table and not eat at all and/or just continue looking at the menu. Also some customers will just stand up for no reason at the table.

daluved1

Amazing!

Yeah, my DMs are open. I am not sure what it looks like on your end, however (what you click, etc). I will watch for any messages and get back with you tomorrow. Edit: sorry I just realized if you don't see it, it might be Patreon stopping messages from people who are not subscribed to you. You can email carl@carlsguides.com if you like with subject Dine Out.

There are no dumb questions! Yes, you will extract the files from inside the zip to your mods folder and make sure both enable custom content/mods and script mods are turned on in game options > other :)
