As I continue to learn to mod Sims 4 with the luxury you have given me through your support, I grow as a programmer and pick up some new tricks. I'm coming back to Dine Out Reloaded to polish the experience. Players are still reporting issues receiving meals in Dine Out and that is unacceptable.

I've already discovered a few things that cause this. Mostly due to waiters resetting. I've implemented some fixes in the third version that will help a lot with these problems.

But since I'm here, I'd like to add some new features! Let's make Dine Out better overall. One example is to bribe the host to get your meal prioritized. It's also a little nod to the fact so many players' meals are not delivered. I would also like to investigate being able to use DO staff for things other than restaurants, like just bars. So you can make your own little pub.

I want to offer some options. For example, to make 5 star establishments cost more, so that high ranking restaurants can be more profitable. Going to one as a player will also be more expensive. It's just silly how little meals cost in the grand scheme of things. I think that going to a nice restaurant should be a want and give satisfaction points and a long-lasting happy buff, depending on the expense/quality of the meal. LMS's no bill when invited will also not work with my mod, so I have to do this myself.

I want to hear which side of Dine Out you like most. Let's play pretend and assume everything works lol. I also want to hear ideas for either of the 2 modes and new features you'd like to see implemented.

You, Carl, are a breath of fresh air. Please get a job at EA and show them how to do it!!

Could you do different modules or versions - one for players that are really focused on the business end and one for just the dining experience, with the capacity to have both. I obviously have no idea how this works, I just know modules really are great with mods, so you aren't cluttering up with things you don't need.

I really like the idea of higher priced restaurants. I struggle with not havig a super high end restaurant for proposals, or anniversaries, etc. And yes, I would like the functionality of not having to pay the bill when invited! Also don't restaurants have a bartender present if you have a bar located on site? I forget.

Yes, if you have a bar on site you have the option to use it yourself or hire ststaff. Sometimes I keep my restaurant open for over 34 hours using cheats and when I hire a bartender he/she won't show up. Sometimes if I keep trying eventually one will. If my restaurant owner is tending the bar when and if they show up, sometimes they will take a seat at the bar or get mad and leave. Usually you can recognize them as they are dressed in a work uniform with an apron. Sometimes the option to hire staff is blurry and a pop-up message says that there is already one on the lot, but you won't be able to see anyone dressed as an employee anywhere at all. My complaint is that I have another bar upstairs and when I try to hire staff the game won't let me if I've already hired a bartender for downstairs. I wish there existed a tweak that would enable me to hire bartenders separately,, one for each bar. Also, if they would stay and tend bar as long as I want, and not leave unless I ask them to.

I agree. Why can’t there be a bartender upstairs? We should be able to hire more than one. As for LMS Don’t pay bill when invited mod, there is apparently a limitation that our Sims cannot choose what to eat if they are not paying the bill. I don’t like that restriction, so I never used that mod.

Thank you for all that you do! Does the current version of it work for patch 1.91 or is this poll indicating that I should hold off?

Sam D.

This is the work of yours that I care most about,since I dearly love taking my sims out to eat at a variety of restaurants- and it's so broken. So I am eager to hear what you have decided and will be working on to improve that.
