Sims 4 DO Reloaded v4.1: Immediate Plans

awesome

LuciaSims

sounds cool. Any plans to make hybrid house/restaurant lot types? Or better yet restaurant/residential rental hybrid lots since there's not really anything stopping you from buying a normal lot but just never going and there and building a living area on the same lot as your restaurant and just locking doors to keep npcs out. would this even be possible? Sorry if this is confusing. I'm super tired and out of it.

AMEEEN!!!!!!!!!!

I know this is a late response. I do want to do that, but it's complicated. With waiters I know how to pick one who isn't working , but host stations involve lines and thus are harder to approach because of this. We have to make a list in memory of dining groups for each host and carefully add/remove to/from it and there are various ways a group could leave... so gotta figure out the technicalities of the system.

Yes it's so frustrating because the foosball table goes untouched ugh

MsTee

Just about any fun object should work but sometimes EA has overtuned objects (like maybe that one) to make it more interesting and not all sims can use it while things like the foosball table can actually be joined.

Carl's Sim Guides

What are the best objects to use for entertainment guests? They only use the gaming mat and then leave unsatisfied.

MsTee

Carl you think with the next update you can fix the employee situation? Id love to be able to call my employees in or send certain ones home. Even having them come in a different times would be amazing.

EmEm

we really need to get an option to hire one more host, please.

That's very odd. Yesterday's update is only on startup and just added additional tests to some drink interactions that will not run constantly. Can you elaborate on this exception and what error it is giving you? Join me in #mod-help-compatibility here: https://discord.gg/8beMPW4P and I will try to help. None of the updates have done anything that should cause such major issues. They're minor bugfixes only.

Tested it and yes while Restaurant is OPEN you can request a table, butttt not when its closed. :(

Maria Espino

I ran through all the variables in my head when you explained it. Maybe we just need someone to make a "high top" table that allows for people to sit regularly. We can classify that item as a COUNTER maybe because tables are calculated into the lot configurations as stated above. I tested using a counter and a stool, and my Sims can "sit" at those and eat. I read somewhere that DESKS also allow for Sims to sit and eat. I'll see if anyone in the CC side of the world might already have something like that, OR ask some of the folks that I know to create that to see if I am correct in those assumptions. Another possibility is allowing the OWNER CHEF to request a table for themselves at THEIR restaurant, which I *think* they cannot do now? Am I right about that? I may be wrong... I have to go and open it up and see. Maybe that could also be done irregardless of whether the restaurant is OPEN or CLOSED. Like I dunno enough about the Maxis engine to know that. I cannot be the only Simmer that would like to take their date OR their family to THEIR restaurant to eat a meal and show off their business! :)

Maria Espino

THANK YOU for explaining it! :)

Maria Espino

So, it's basically because as soon as the zone loads up the restaurant is doing all the seating calculations. I probably could override it to make it so that the test doesn't fail if the restaurant is closed, but it might make things janky. They basically did this because it is going to cause issues if anyone fails to take their seat due to some other Sims using a table.

Carl's Sim Guides

Carl, is there a way to REMOVE the "lock out" for seating? Like I should be able to cook myself a meal (and call to meal for my employees for that matter), sit down at a free table, and eat it.... as the restaurant owner or when my family comes to visit or even when the restaurant is completely CLOSED. If I want to have a hot date and bring my date to my closed restaurant, I should be able to do that. Maybe its a reserved seat type of object or something that effect? I am not sure. I never UNDERSTOOD why that lockout is in place.

it won't let me download the mods i pay 1$

Scotty Pease

I'm not even the OP on this, but you just answered the question I was going to ask! I also have LilMsSams Tweaks, I don't have Bienchen anymore; I keep hiring chefs and they don't show up, and if they die, I lose a chef and have none, so I'm gonna go check.

Zipp

Check if you have any bienchen’s / sims4me (restaurant tweaks) or LittleMsSam mods related to restaurant installed as well. They can conflict with DINE OUT fix by Carl.

Dreamview

I am struggling to get 4.0 to function correctly. I don't know what I have installed that is conflicting, and I would love some help. The guests and employers can not leave the lot unless I force them to go with "just go away!" The waiters do not take guest orders. I have to take the orders, or the guest will be waiting for a very long time, if not at all, to get their order taken; I get way too many bar customers to diners ratio. I also am struggling with getting the waiters to bus the tables properly, if at all, in a timely manner. The three-course meal. The host does not sit guests even if we have several open tables. I felt that having three chefs and four waiters was not functional for me because the lag made it impossible to gameplay, but that could just be my computer. If you know what could be causing these problems, please let me know. I truly hope this response is not taken negatively, as I just want to play the mod properly. So, for now, I am switching back to 3.5.

Thank you Carl! I've playing this updated version as customer with multiple sims going out together, and as an owner since you posted it. I can come back and say that this update was needed because my sims got some act right!! Thank for fixing those bugs as well.

Danielle

Would you ever consider adding a feature that allows you to hire whoever you want for the chef, waiter, host, etc. rules? Sometimes I want my Sim to actively be the role and other times I want them to be able to go to work without me having to be there so I can focus on other things. I hate having to choose between your diverse mod and another mod specifically for hiring whoever you want (your mod and LittkeMsSams mod don’t work together).

You definitely have some kind of issue/mod compatibility problem that is interfering with the new version. Something is stopping their flow - is everything OK with your host station and Sims' ability to walk to it and tables? Have you used moveobjects on any of the tables? There are mods that can interfere, but also those types of things can make it so that customers do not sit. Less customers is a known issue/was fixed in the new v4.02 update where you can increase the customer count to your liking. It was previously about double what it is now.. so if you prefer, you can set it to 200% in the mod settings for that restaurant.

Carl's Sim Guides

I download the Sims 4 DO Reloaded v4.2 and the customers don't automatically sit down. I have less customers and I like the fact previously that the host and my sim was able to sit the customers. Also, the customers don't ask for all three courses.

There's so much endless potential for the entertainment venue system. I can't wait!
