Dine Out Reloaded is compatible with For Rent.

v4.08 New Patch Bugfix - Mar 6, 2024

  • Found a couple bad tunings, cleaned up most tuning errors, and fixed all tuning errors to ensure packs are not required.
  • Fixed a bug with fun customers where some scores were too high. Having low entry fee and decor/owner interaction will help with 5 stars. Fours were basically never happening.

v4.07 New Patch Bugfix - Feb 29, 2024

  • Fixed all tunings to ensure only The Sims 4 base game and Dine Out are required for functionality.
  • When playing as chef, walking away will kill the situation. There is also an x to kill the situation if you have a problem.
  • Cook Orders as Chef is now the highest priority so it will not be on page 2 of interactions.

v4.06 New Patch Bugfix - Feb 27, 2024

  • Fixed an error on startup in the new patch that could interfere with functionality.

v4.05 Course Eating Improvement - Feb 27, 2024

  • Fixed an issue that might stop employees running pickers, example being vet clinic/other employee seeking to help another Sim.

v4.04 Course Eating Improvement - Feb 24, 2024

  • Reduced a bit how often Sims will browse the menu and tried to encourage more talking.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause customers to order a 2nd course way, way too fast.
  • Sims should eat meals more reliably whether multiple courses are on or not, thanks to a merge of v3/v4 code.

v4.03 Customer Count Feature/Bugfix - Feb 23, 2024

  • Fixed a bug that could cause restaurant to freeze if a waiter is stuck with a bad order that failed delivery (e.g. animation exception)

v4.02 Customer Count Feature/Bugfix - Feb 18, 2024

  • NEW SETTING - Find the customer count multiplier in settings. Here you can go from half to 2.5x as many customers. Defaults to 100%.
  • Fixed an issue where bar patrons were ordering only low level drinks.
  • Fixed an issue where if no bartender was available, sims would stand around and never seek fun objects. Bartender is no longer necessary. Sims will do fun things and ignore drink desires if bartenders are not available.

v4.01 Bar Patron Bugfix - Feb 18, 2024

  • Fixed a bug that limited the max bar customers to the number of dining spots. We don't need those for bar patrons!

v4.0 - February 17, 2024 - LEARN MORE ABOUT FEATURES HERE 

New Features Breakdown:

  • Three Course meals
  • Bartenders and Entertainment patrons.
  • Play as Bartender
  • More Guests possible.
  • Hire More Staff (+2 waiters, +1 chef) by default.
  • Better Restaurant Settings
  • Take Order Smart Interaction
  • Meal Base Value option

Bugfixes and Improvements

  • Guests are much more likely to sit when eating their meals.
  • Guests are unable to sit SOMEWHERE ELSE when eating their meals.
  • Guests do not steal each other's food or drink.
  • Guests who get stuck in conversation and not eating will leave group chat after 30 mins or so.
  • Waitstaff must wait at least 30 Sim minutes before taking a newly created food or drink.
  • Several rescue attempts exist to correct orders that go wrong in some way (ie waitstaff fail to deliver them, guests not in eat state with delivered food)
  • A variety of stability improvements around orders in general and guest flow.
  • It's now possible to queue up multiple 'take order' commands.
  • The Apologize for Wait interaction will now immediately update a guest's star rating, if it is still possible.
  • While playing as chef all interactions are visible on your Sim.

v3.35 Employee Management Bugfix - Jan 10, 2024

  • Fixed an issue that could stop the employee management window for Wicked Whims strip clubs and other business-related mods from working.

v3.34 Important Bugfix - Dec 19, 2023

  • Fixed a very nasty bug that could interfere with MCCC menus along with other mods. This patch is non-optional.

v3.32 Important Bugfix - Dec 5, 2023

  • Fixed a bug that would prevent customers from spawning due to a change in today's patch.

v3.31 Important Bugfix

  • A recent change stopped Sims being able to collect dishes and laundry when on their home lot. This has been fixed, and DO Reloaded collection enhancements will now just take place at home.

v3.303 Performance Enhancements

  • Speed 2/3 should see uplift on medium/low end machines due to greatly reduced logging from Dine Out Reloaded. It will definitely be a huge help the slower the machine.

v3.302 Bugfix

  • Renamed Mark as Main Chef Station to Mark as PLAYER Chef station, so as to reduce confusion about the purpose of  the interaction.

v3.301 Bugfix

  • Found a way to rescue delivery orders when Sims 4 fails to spawn someone to pick it up.

v3.3 New Features & Improvements

  • Delivery Orders are a new feature and can be enabled in the settings menu (found by shift-clicking the ground with testingcheats). Delivery orders require at least one chef station to have Mark as Delivery Station This designates which chef will work on deliveries.
  • Walkup Orders are available in settings as well, and will spawn Sims who go directly to a Diner Order Beacon (or behind the chef station if you fail to place one). They will make an order and immediately take a seat, waiting until it's done.
  • Guests Place Orders is a new option. Guests will go to a Diner Order Beacon to make an order (found in build mode restaurants category, or search Carl). They will do this immediately upon arrival much as you might do at a fast food establishment or food truck.
  • Waiters Clean Much Faster by default. This is to help restaurants with multiple waiters. I designed the original in an admittedly silly way, and players gave me plenty of feedback that it felt like they were behind on cleaning This should no longer be a problem.
  • Take Your Seat Interaction is found when a diner is standing and in a state after being assigned a seat You can use this to tell a diner to please sit down.
  • Guests Spawn Closer is a new option found in the menu This will make guests spawn where player Sims do when arriving at the lot. The groups themselves also spawn together, much more quickly rather than waiting 5 minutes per Sim.

v3.265 Bugfixes & Improvements

  • Leaving Build Mode will no longer close the restaurant. Use this sparingly and try to avoid moving important objects. It's probably safer to add than to remove.
  • The "Restaurant Not Functional" message will no longer appear.
  • More optimizations to try to stop stuck groups with Guests Seat Themselves. Sometimes the game is firing off bad situations.
  • I am aware of issues with restaurants with waiters having work stoppages but am not yet sure why. It seems to be dish-related. Try to get rid of dishes and placemats to get them working again.

v3.262 Bugfixes & Improvements

  • Fixed an issue with the game not clearing guests between restaurant sessions, resulting in Sims not being seated.
  • Fixed an issue with increased max standard/child diners where the game might seat the family at too small a table.

v3.261 Bugfixes & Improvements

  • Found a way to rescue orders that are in the system but not tied to diners correctly. Leads to a lastexception about _order_status.
  • The Order Up! Digital Restaurant Display should now be visible with walls down.

v3.26 Bugfixes & Improvements

  • At the bottom of the Settings Menu (Shift-click ground with testingcheats on) you will find a new remove all naps option. Use this to clear sharing is caring, free love, and excessive violin playing! Removes all NAPs from the restaurant neighborhood.
  • Fixed a separate issue that can cause guests to not make orders while playing with a host.

v3.25 Bugfixes & Improvements

  • Fixed an issue where guests were not making orders with waiters sometimes.

v3.24 Bugfixes & Improvements

  • Further improved the vanishing meal problem. It should be solid once again.
  • Improved Guests Seat Themselves to be more stable.

v3.23 Bugfixes & Improvements

  • Fixed a bad test that might case problems talking on restaurant lots.

v3.22 Bugfixes & Improvements

  • The Meat Wall is now unlocked by default if you own Eco Lifestyle. Purchase a vertical garden and pick grow cruelty-free meat. EA locking up abilities behind careers irks me, as you lose them when you leave the career as well.
  • Fixed an issue with Guests Seat Themselves. If the game killed a situation but that group was next to be seated, your Sims might get stuck. We now remove them from the list if they are no longer present.
  • Fixed an issue with the Order Up! Digital Restaurant Counter. I think? I wasn't able to reproduce it, but it should be more likely to do its ONE JOB now.
  • The Set as Produce Inventory ability should no longer appear outside restaurants that are not owned by the player.
  • Made it a bit less likely that when Playing as Chef the situation will go on hold over some benign reaction while continuing to animate. They should hopefully stop over actual interactions now. IF you need one to stop, just select go here or some other simple menu interaction.

v3.21 Critical Bugfix

  • Fixed Blank Orders. Sims would sometimes receive nothing at an entire table due to a bug, leading to a time out and no meal ever served. This should prevent the bad orders being duplicated in the system and rescue them if it does occur.

v3.2 New Features!

  • Farm to Table - Grow produce in your garden and catch fish. Go to a refrigerator in your Sim's restaurant and Mark as Produce Inventory. Once you have transferred ingredients to the fridge, Sims can automatically cook with them when orders come in, boosting the profit of your restaurant. Better than selling them individually, I promise!
  • Farm To Table will also let players use meat from cows, eggs from chickens, the meat wall, and ingredients from the Cottage Living Expansion Pack.
  • New Object - Order Up! Digital Restaurant Counter: This new object will automatically count how many orders need to be cooked by the chef. Slap it on a wall and you'll always know how much work needs to be done. This was made by the lovely Ravasheen
  • Sous Chefs - When playing as chef but having NPCs , you can now enable the Sous Chef system in the menu. This will prevent them finishing meals. They will simply help speed up cooking times and your chef's skill will be used to determine quality.
  • Sim Owners and their family can now Apologize for Wait - this appears after a guest has been in the restaurant at least 40 mins and may be used up until the point their meal is delivered. Using Apologize for Wait can help you earn good Wait Time bonuses and also prevent guests leaving so soon.

V3.17 Bugfix Update!

  • Fixed the infamous One-Star Bug that has been plaguing players. This was my fault, but at least I understand the why's and can confidently say you should only have guests giving 1 star most of the time if it is deserved.
  • Fixed an issue with Chefs when playing as one and having an NPC. Use Set as Main Chef Station on the one your Sim will use. NPCs will not be able to use this. This replaces the "Player Counts as Chef" option (soon to be removed). Note if you want more chefs you must hire them and ensure they have stations not marked.
  • Improved playing as chef. Most of the time, your Sim will be able to stay at the station in between meals (ex if playing with a  waiter) without constantly clicking to start meals.
  • 3.17 is the new version number to fix the inconsistency with like "3.07" instead of 3.107.

V3.106 Bugfix Update

  • Fixed a problem that could cause the game to stall. Still working on issues with seating while traveling or entering build/buy with the restaurant open (an EA bug).

V3.104 Bugfix Update

  • Fixed a bug where a group of diners might not leave after eating a meal and complain about long wait times.
  • Fixed a bad test causing a LastException when visiting a restaurant and clicking a Sim.
  • Fixed a bug where the restaurant might not load due to invalid dining spots.
  • Fixed a bug with Start Cooking as Chef where a Sim would not put down objects they are carrying.
  • Take Order will no longer appear on guests after they have received a meal.

V3.1 Update:

  • New Option: Diners Pick Up Meals - Lets diners pick up their own platter when it's ready, adding more restaurant customization.
  • New Option: Larger Groups - Select up to 5 additional children for family meals, or up to 6 additional Sims for standard diners, leading to groups of up to 8.
  • New Option: Max Waiting Groups - Allows you to have groups waiting to be seated when your restaurant is popular and you do not have enough tables for everyone.
  • Super Smart Dish Collection System - Sims will now pick up dishes more intelligently both in restaurants and throughout the game. They will pick up the closest dishes first and try never to zig zag.
  • New Interaction: Take Table - Players who are dining in NPC restaurants can now just claim a table when the option 'Guests Seat Themselves' is turned on, so you can pick whichever you want without interacting with the host.


V3.03 Update

  • Fixed a bug that could cause waiters to stop working.
  • Also fixed a bug that could prevent players from taking orders in restaurants that have waiters.
  • Improved waiter response time on dishes. When 2 or more tables are dirty and there's nothing else that needs done, they'll go in for the clean using the new Smart Dish Collection System.

V3.02 Update:

  • Fixed a bug when playing as chef that froze needs.
  • Fixed a bug where diners could aggressively unseat each other while playing with Guests Seat Themselves.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause a fairly harmless but annoying LastException when shutting down restaurants.
  • Fixed a bug with uniforms when playing as chef.
  • These fixes are for 3.1 but are being pushed to this build so that current early access players and future free players do not have to wait for fixes.

V3.01 Update:

  • Quick fix for a missing loot on loading an NPC restaurant.

Dine Out Reloaded v3.0 Improvements

Dine Out Reloaded v3 is a thank you to the Patrons who allowed me to spend an entire month on this project. I use the financial security to make cool stuff happen! Consider supporting my projects and Download Dine Out Reloaded v3.0 Here!

New Owner Abilities

In normal Dine Out, owners really do not have enough to do. It's mostly clicking to encourage employees, managing their pay rates, and clicking a couple of socials on the Diners. This needed fixing, and I achieved it.

Restaurant Owners and their family members have four new abilities:

  • Show to Table - Click Sims standing about the host station, and you can seat them. No host required.
  • Take Order - Click Sims who have been checked in, and you can take their orders.
  • Cook Orders - Click Cook Orders on the Chef Station and your Sim will cook the orders until they run out.
  • Deliver Food - You can also click the food platter to Deliver Food. My script knows which guests' table it belongs to.

All of these interactions rely on your Sim's skills, just like the Host, Waiter, and Chef. Waiters do well with Charisma, as do Hosts. Chefs benefit from both Gourmet Cooking and Mixology. You only get a little XP from creating a meal, so practice outside work hours to unlock high quality food that will surely please your guests!

These were hard to accomplish, and represent the bulk of the work the last few weeks of Dine Out Reloaded development.

New Restaurant Options

Shift-click the ground with testingcheats on to access restaurant options.

I wanted players to be able to customize the feel for their restaurant. How formal is it? You may not want Hosts Seat Guests. This will stop Hosts walking Sim to their seats, and instead tell them a table to go to on their own. You might even skip the host and use the new Guests Seat Themselves option, which will skip the arrival stage completely. Sims will come in and walk right up to an available table.

Running a restaurant all by yourself can be tough, so I wanted to give options that will help Sims 4 players to customize the experience a bit further. You can decide if waiters are responsible for delivering meals and taking orders. Disabling either of these will put it on your Sim or their family members to do these actions. This can give you more time to cook or seat guests, or schmooze with customers to get those 5 star reviews.

If you want to hire a chef later, but do not want the first to come in you can use Player Counts as Chef. This will let your Sim be one of the two chefs. Helpful for a very busy restaurant!

Sims eat way, way too fast. EA took changes to this too far and made Sims eat faster in all instances, killing family meals where Sims are done in two bites. With the Sims Eat Politely option, Diners will stick around twice as long as normal to finish their meals. This can help Sims have time to converse and drink in between killing their entrees.

What's New in v2.5:

If I I fixed a major bug in 3.0 that was not related to its new features, I also put it into 2.5 for the public. So here is what is in the new, free version of DO Reloaded v2.5.

Why Sims Don't Show Up to Work

You may be surprised to learn this, but Dine Out will let you hire waiters who do not qualify to actually be waiters. Same applies to hosts and chefs. The fix for this was to make sure all the criteria that are required for a Sim to show up at work are included in the hiring menu. It's literally why some players never saw the Sims they hired show up, and a point of frustration for many. I fixed it with the help of testers.

Meal Delivery

Despite my best efforts, there were still cases in Dine Out Reloaded 2 that caused meals to sometimes fail delivery. It turns out this is by design. Bad design, not some obscure bug. The reasons took time to find but were spelled out plainly. Waiters failing an interaction for any reason could disappear a meal, forever dooming it to be stuck. Worse, Sims could not order again.

I've cleaned up about 5 major causes of Sims meals failing delivery and it feels much, much more reliable. Near or at 100% reliability.

Before this fix and in normal Dine Out, players could end up behind several NPC meals when they first visit a restaurant, so I made a change. The player is prioritized by Waiters when it comes to having their order taken. This is to simulate that the other Sims already had their order taken.

Bribe The Host

What is more, Sims can choose to bribe the Host for $100 (by clicking the host or table) and the Chef will then cook their meal first. You can be doubly prioritized, and make the most of a restaurant visit without it taking 8-10 hours.

Bad Behaviors

While DO Reloaded 2 did a decent job of stopping bad behaviors, more potentially strange interactions have come out since I made it. Sims had a very out-of-place habit of sitting on the floor cross-legged while waiting for a table and sometimes after being seated would still obsess over celebrities. Both of these activities are prohibited in restaurants along with several others.

Waiter Logic

This is my best take on waiters in Sims 4. They operate smoothly and will rescue tables that have food or drink on them, going into cleaning mode if a table is blocked.

For now Waiters will no longer drop platters. It's a very bug-prone feature that honestly feels repetitive and frustrating for players, particularly when visiting a restaurant. I've eliminated it until I can stabilize it. Even then, I will only be re-enabling it on lots owned by the player so as to add a reason to train waiters.

Menu Shenanigans

You may be surprised to learn this, but the game is actually kind of smart in how it chooses foods for Sims. But to a fault. It is entirely possible a player can make a menu for their business which offers Sims 0 valid choices. EA has seemingly forgotten to put tags on newer foods that came with various packs, and no Sims can ever choose them. This could result in a Waiter bringing out the order only it was completely invisible. What happened? No food was chosen. I fixed this so that SOMETHING will always be chosen.

does not work for me

Hi Carl. I love this mod so much. I've played with this so many times with no problems what so ever until I downloaded the latest update yesterday. I'm not sure what I did wrong so I deleted it and redownloaded again. I have the same issue with my chef showing up on the lot then disappearing. What could I be doing wrong?

Anonymous

I have version 3.265, and after the game update a few days ago, I am not able to access the in-game menu for the mod. It throws a last exception. I post with the hope for an update soon! Thanks for all you do!

danny k

sadly not working for my game :(

yeah this is not working for me at all

Carl, I am still having an issue with the chef spawning at the edge of the lot and vanishing. Even on 3.3. My Sim has to play as chef for the mod to function. I really want him to be checking on the customers and getting my rating up for customer service. Also is it possible to include an option to give staff a break so they can look after their needs? I've had my Sims have accidents sometimes. Finally werewolves are really impacting the gameplay as they wolf out and freak all my customers and staff out.

Rebecca

James Turner has the same issue with the chefs. I would enjoy an option to disallow werewolves in any form in restaurants, because the game option to keep them in Moonwood when enraged doesn't work properly. Maybe someday EA will do something right, but I'm not holding my breath. They still show up enraged in human form and I have to close the restaurant to get rid of them. When they are enraged, mccc won't let me make them leave.

Rebecca
>>101961866

I forgot to mention that James was also having issues with the to go orders not being picked up, but it seemed to me that the problem was only happening when he disallowed new customers. So the game seems to think the person picking up the order is a new customer and the order never actually gets picked up. Before he disallowed new customers, the orders were being picked up.

carlssims4guide
>>101926233

Hey there. The issue can be sometimes that both chef stations are marked as main. Is this possibly it?

carlssims4guide
>>101961866

Hey there. The issue with chefs not spawning (based on my testing in James' save) was that both chef stations were marked as main. I do try to dissuade werewolves from spawning but I guess I need to be a bit more aggressive with that. I just now updated the mod to have a means of rescuing delivery orders that were never picked up. I also changed how it works when customers are disallowed, as it will not make new orders but it will allow Sims to spawn to pick them up :)

carlssims4guide
>>100563294

I am sorry to be so late here, but almost ALWAYS the menu failing to come up is a result of having an outdated settings file. I worked on making this less problematic in 3.3 as new features will automatically appear in the settings file even if a player fails to delete it.

carlssims4guide
>>100390528

Sorry I am somehow missing comments here, I will need to manually check more often. It seems some players have multiple chef stations marked as main. I need to rename this to mark as player in a new update and also give a warning about why the chef might not work.

Anonymous
>>101926233

No. I don't have a sous chef. I only use one chef station. I'll replace a fresh station in case it is glitched. Additionally I've just added the new patched version and I'll let you know how it goes when I play later on Edit: The chefs now work. They're not very good at their jobs as they've had no experience but they do spawn now. Thanks Carl.

Marisa (gfvsims)

I can't wait to make a food truck! Thanks so much, Carl. :)

I've noticed that the critic's food never gets served. I've seen it happen in different restaurants and over multiple sim days. Any fix for that?

carlssims4guide
>>102004818

That's very odd. Maybe you could DM me or use your patreon benefit to get on ou rdiscord. I might be able to investigate with your save, but the problem is not universal as I just saw James turner livestreaming and he served a critic fine.

carlssims4guide
>>104753384

Hi! Just saw this. Actually, the newest patch is exactly about this issue. Mark as Main Chef Station is now renamed to mark as player. IF you had 2 chef stations, 2 hired chefs but marked one as main, a chef will not show up -- this is because main is meant for the player.

I'm having an issue that seems to be unique. It may be a combination of mods issues but I'm unsure. The problem: When I load into a restaurant, there are no hosts or chefs. The first time I load into a restaurant in a save it works, but if I try to go back to that restaurant or to any other restaurants in the game there are restaurant goers and wait staff but no chef or host. There will even be a bartender if I have a bar on the lot. I removed all my mods that would affect Dine Out and only left in this mod and the problem persisted. I took out this mod and my Dine Out worked normally. Any ideas?

I keep having an issue where new npc chefs keep showing up and pushing my playable sim off the line where she’s playing as chef. I’m not hiring these chefs they’re just autopopulating and taking over. Any advice?

dipsiesnows

Amazing thank you!!! I’m having issues where two chefs can’t work together in the same kitchen simultaneously. I have one player chef and an NPC chef, when I play as a player the NPC chef refuses to work. Secondly also having an issue with hosts refusing to do their job, they just walk around and play on their phone. The host and NPC chef don’t have a manage interaction option available.

I don't have them online. Are you using a "special" copy of the game or something? The python changes on every version update of Sims 4 and thus should work. If not I have a bug. You can visit us on my discord and I"ll be happy to work it out with you or send you an older version https://discord.gg/rvjrwH7r

Sims Diver

Hello Carl! Thx sooooo MUCH for going all out on this much overlooked oversight by the Sims Dev team. That being said, my Simmies LOVE you for finally giving them a decent options for eating out. It always frustrated me to no end to watch random townies show up to order food from the counter in my high end restaurant.

Sims Diver

Carl (or any Simmer on here): forgot to ask: Is the Carl_DineOutReloaded_Settings.ini file necessary anymore? Or is this tuning file now included in the script for updated version of the mod?

carlssims4guide
>>130322074

The settings.ini file you asked about is where the mod stores its settings and is auto-generated. I just redid how I block the settings. Each zoneid in your saves that is a restaurant will generate one :)

Thank you so much!

I don't know what the issue is, but before I updated to this version, it worked perfectly. But now, diners do not eat any of the food, they only drink the drinks at the table. Then they are delivered the next course right on top of their previous food and once again, they do not eat it.

Hello Carl! In the 4th version of dineout the sous chef system doesn't work! They all keep cooking food and the chef's station doesn't work either when I set it! This wasn't an issue in the 3rd one! Can you please let me know if there is something I can do?

Did you set one of the stations as Player Chef Station? Sous chef is only for the player as chef. Just making sure, though if you pop into the discord I can have a look. https://discord.gg/rvjrwH7r

I did set it as the delivery station and player station and turned the sous chef system on! the player sim never seems to go to that specific station and the other sous chefs just act as chefs! I'm pretty sure I know how it all works considering this is my favorite mod and it's been months that I have been playing it! Which btw, thank you so so so much for this amazing mod it's just the best! I haven't yet played with the 4.03 one, I will try it and see if the issue still occurs

Jennifer Giresi

Thanks for the update, Carl. Still smooth sailing on my end.

carlssims4guide
>>130492651

Player sim HAS to be at that station for it to work, which you do have to direct them to. I will still take a look but making sure you know this. I don't have any autonomy telling the player chef to start work at a specific station.

I really love this mod and have played a ton with it, however I am experiencing a lack of customers with the updated version. i have removed all script mods but MCCC and UI Cheats and adjusted all the settings on the host station, I even have the Hottest spot in town lot trait and I barely get anyone. Previous versions I would always have at least 6 tables filled. I am not sure what the issue is - but is it possible to get ahold of version 3.35? That one worked fine with all the mods I had in.

I have the latest version of the mod and I have been experiencing problems with my sim being the chef. I started the restaurant with my sim as the only chef. I wanted a small restaurant where my sim could play all parts (host, server, chef) but I'm not familiar enough with Dine Out. This is my first time trying the gameplay. I never tried the pack without the mod and this is my first time trying the mod as the owner of the restaurant. I set the station as chef player station. Before I actually opened the restaurant, I clicked on the station and hit the option to play as sim. My sim started testing pots, pans, and prep station and it appeared as an event (top left corner of the screen showed playing chef like an event). There was no way for me to end this event though. I reset my sim, tried to stop her from doing more testing, reset the chef cooking station but nothing helped. Eventually, I pressed "M" to send her home. But, that also did not work. My game glitched and I could not access my sim anymore. Eventually, I realized I could sell the restaurant to access my sim again. Nothing else worked. Eventually, I opened the first for the first time. There is definitely some lag during gameplay while operating the restaurant. There's even more lag now, so I stopped playing again completely. I cleared the cache and repaired the sims 4 game. I'll try to play again before calling it quits but there's definitely something wrong with the "play as chef" option. More lag and problems happen after each time I open. I noticed that to complete orders, I have to make my sim "cook orders as chef" per order. Meaning, I can not leave my sim at the chef station to cook, she will complete 1 order and the animation will run as her "testing the station" over and over again. I have to babysit her and wait until she completes the 1 order then click out of the cooking then click back into the option to cook as chef. I've been doing this for every single order in the queue. I don't mind doing this if this is normal but I don't think that it is. I hired a chef because I wanted my sim to be able to leave the chef station occasionally. When I had my sim leave the chef station to check on tables, a pot was stuck on her feet/ankles. The only option was to set it on fire because my sim is a spellcaster, or right click it and destroy it. I destroyed it. During my 4th opening, my sim no longer cooked at all. pots, pans, and prep station no longer appear. I tried replacing the chef station and that did nothing so it is not the stove. The lag made orders never come out, or magically appear after sometime. My sim is the only sim in the restaurant who can actually teleport, but the lag made everyone teleport after being still for quite some time. I've experienced the placemat issues with EA so I know Dine Out has a lot of problems still coming for EA. But, I can't run a restaurant as the chef currently and that isn't EA related. My problems started days ago, but I'm only mentioning them now because I had to be sure. The problems with my sim playing as the chef only got worst each time I opened. By the 4th or 5th opening, my sim couldn't cook anything. But, she could still serve and communicate with guest. She just stands in front of the chef station now. I'm hoping the repair to the sims 4 game helps...

The latest version (4.05) is getting better But the high chair seat Stand up immediately after sitting down

carlssims4guide
>>130812565

I'll write back more on this, but as far as the chef situation staying visible in the top, it means you're in the chef situation still and that is active. There may be something I can do to get the x to appear, but it will require some work. Ultimately, the player chef behaves the same as the NPCs do and will continue "prep" animations even when there is not an order. The order counter object is meant to show you how many are currently in. The chef situation goes on hold when you perform an action, and can go back. I did not want autonomy to continually pull the player back. The "pot on foot" is an unfortunate glitch with Sims 4 animations. So you're meant to go out, deal with customers, and return to the station to cook when playing solo.

I played this mod a while back and I loved it and I am so happy that you have updated it. Sadly the mod isn't working for me for some reason. I extracted the files and put them in my mods folder and I have the mods settings selected in my game. When I click on the host stand I do not see the option for the mod. I only see disallowed customers and book reservations or something along those lines. Please tell me what I can do to fix the mod!!

carlssims4guide
>>130885472

It's either that script mods are not turned on (there are 2 options for mods in game options > other) or the mods not being the sims 4 / mods folder. If you see a log file generate similarly named to the mod, it is working.. but it's definitely an install issue of some kind if those are missing.

I'm not sure if it's really this mod, but I keep getting a last exception for it from BE: (Carl_DineOut_Reloaded_v4.06/Carl_DineOut_Reloaded_v4.0.package) Reason ('TuningAttrCleanupHelper' object attribute 'register_for_cleanup' is read-only (AttributeError: 'TuningAttrCleanupHelper' object attribute 'register_for_cleanup' is read-only)). I have no issues playing the mod besides this exception popping up. Is it safe to just ignore?

carlssims4guide
>>130961562

Something odd is going on, and I wonder if one of your ts4script files didn't survive when you got the new version? The reason being I just unzipped the v4.06 file from above and it does not throw the error. I eliminated this error yesterday on patch day and it is indeed harmless (especially since you say it's working right). It's from a change that EA made, which stops us needing a special block of code for certain scenarios related to our python programming.

Hi Carl. Thank you for saving the whole Dine Out experience and make it enjoyable for us! I have downloaded the latest update of this mod and the Better Exception keeps showing up. I already removed all other script mods when the game updated.

>>130977529

I haven't tried playing with the newest version yet as the BE kept showing up but for V4.05 and previous versions I encountered some problems such as: (1) It took forever for my waiters to take order so eventually my owner sim had to step up and do everything, (2) the guests never gave 5 star rating even when everything was excellent, (3) the sims sat down and then stood up immediately after the food was served, and (4) the extra (5th) waiter/ (3rd) chef didn't show up after I hired them. I fired some of them and rehired but it repeated. Hope you could help.

carlssims4guide
>>130977529

There may be pack items/cc and other mods that can interfere. We've already seen a simple espresso machine with incorrect tagging that broke hosts for one player. I don't have any of these problems in my clean saves where I do not have a lot of mods. I'm unsure what could cause all of this without us talking it out on discord and perhaps finding the issue that is causing problems. Waiters taking a while could come down to pc performance, but guests not giving 5 stars sounds like them never getting the buffs that raise their score. The standing is usually related to items on the lot/tables that impact autonomy. Here's a link to discord if you'd like to send your save and maybe give us some idea what other mods you use : https://discord.gg/5B7n5wbe

Hey there. So to address your problem I made it so that when walking away from the chef situation, it is destroyed. This will make it so that the situation can't stick around. The X to kill it is also there now :)

love your mod!! but with the newest patch I'm having some troubles. I use MCCC, WW, Meaningful Stories, your mod (of course) and some cc. Except for the latter everything is updated to the latest patch (28th of feb). I am experiencing delays and sims idleing in my restaurant when playing as cook and another sim as waiter. MCCC throws an exception:"Last Module Called: SousChefSystem.py Last Function Called: _should_serve_order Error message: Exception raised while trying to run a test event in test_events.py: (TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable TuningBlueprint object), CategoryID: SousChefSystem:278" maybe this will help you out

carlssims4guide
>>131145823

Testingcheats must be on and you might also try a host station as it doesn't require cheats for the menu to work. If the CC appears but none of the scripts work, script mods aren't on in the options.

carlssims4guide
>>131513516

Wow. Thanks for that error. I'm not sure what's going on but will have a look right away. I had missed this message but someone else's reply brought me here so i could see it. Not sure what's going on yet but will try to get back to you.

carlssims4guide
>>131513516

Something strange is going on here. As far as I know, an order should be a "tuningblueprint" object. A group order should be a GroupOrder object. So in the code it's kind of going over the recipes in that sim's order to make sure it's valid. It's coming back as an entirely wrong class, and i Have no idea how it's possible but can confirm that so far it's not happening to me. Is it possible you could pop up in our #mod-help-compatibility channel on discord so we can talk it out? https://discord.gg/eTDySddj

Thank you so much! Eating out and food is one of my favorite parts to this game just sucks EA didn't think of your brilliant ideas. thank you for all your hard work and sharing them with the community!

Simdrew1993

You are a legend, Carl! The dining system was always terrible, for it to actually work now is nice! If you can add the option to hire whoever we want in game would be cool too, like how Sims 2 was, it had the option to approach someone and hire them or pick anyone from the menu both and including family members. Plus having multiple bartenders on a lot would be cool too. Ayway thank you!

carlssims4guide
>>93496387

Fantastic idea. I do plan to let players hire family members so they will autonomously perform the tasks as waiter or host. Allowing any Sim might be difficult due to the game's filter systems but I should be able to let you hire MOST Sims.

It seems like a LOT of people feel that way. Nothing got people more excited than me working on Dine Out. I personally prefer the management aspect, but it's great to feel like the base restaurant experience is working from both angles.

Simdrew1993
>>93496387

Thank you! Family and autonomously performing tasks would be great! In fact the autonomy in Sims 4 in general has always been very poor, that and the A.I. I really don't understand why EA/Maxis didn't allow family members or the option to hire anyone by approaching them since it's been done in Sims 2, or home businesses. The business model in Sims 2 for retail and restaurants worked so flawlessly and was just so well done in fact it flowed very well, I feel with Sims 4 they really rushed it sadly. Awesome that would be very nice. Here's a good example of the Sims 2 business model vs Sims 4's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HEjoaBg9jU&ab_channel=PleasantSims

Hi, I downloaded the recent update for this mod but none of my restaurants work. I have some with cc and without, I've tested them all, and food is never served despite the chef cooking and servers never take orders or walk us to our seats anymore (we seat ourselves and place our orders which they never actually take). Any idea what might be causing my dine out pack to not work at all? Thank you!

This mod amazing. This is my recommonded, I hope you can add some feature disable dirty dishes like customer pay bill after eat, the empty dishes become auto clean on table/disappear, since I'm really tired my sim clean dishes at restaurant, but sometimes they always cancel interaction clean dirty dishes and put dirty dishes in anywhere, or sim become glitch when they load clean all empty dishes like sim automatic reset maybe causing by game bugs, and EA still never fix this bug. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/Sims-4-Cleaning-Up-DIshes-Bug-DEBUG-Reset/td-p/6695215

Hi Carl, I have enjoyed the updates and fixes you have made to Dine Out thus far. I have a question: Does 3.02 not allow you to dine in regularly as a guest but only function as a restaurant owner and only version 2.5 operates as a guest dining in? I downloaded 2.5 and was able to dine in as a guest but when I downloaded 3.02, my Sim can operate and work in the restaurant but when my Sims went to a non-owned restaurant, the chefs do not show up. Are we supposed to only choose 2.5 or 3.02 to play in the game and not have both versions in the game? I want to be able to work in the restaurant, yet still dine out in other restaurants as a guest and it seems like 3.02 won't allow me to do that. Any help with this or clarification about both mods, I would greatly appreciate.

carlssims4guide
>>94548534

You definitely don't want both. On the chef showing up thing, it is one of many stock dine out bugs. The game can hire a chef that is not actually ALLOWED to be a chef in some cases. I suggest re-placing the restaurant or seeing if any mods you have might be conflicting. As for the questions regarding dining in, 3.02 has all that 2.5 has, just more. 2.5 is mostly bug fixes to get restaurants working right. For both running and visiting restaurants, I had to redo waiter code and also fix some bugs that cause meals to disappear. So the logic for waiters is the same in 2.5/3.0 and will help get meals to you!

I have the same issue above but I also wanted to know if my restaurant can have two chefs from the same household or just one? Also when I dine out may you please tell me how to get a restaurant functioning without my sim having to be the chef ?

carlssims4guide
>>94638567

Here's the thing with dining out. I was wrong, and there isn't a bug I can spot directly related to DO. Sometimes the game will hire Sims that CAN NOT be chefs. I had to fix this for our employee picker in the ownership side. Re-placing a restaurant you want to dine in can sometimes trigger new NPCs to be hired. So this is a situation with abug that has always existed, and I haven't yet figured out how to address it on the dining side. You can have 2 chefs from the same househoeld, yep! just put them both on different chef stations.

Signed to Patreon just for this mod and it doesnt work. The Chef that I have hired already just disappears when I open the restaurant for business. I try to go cook the items myself as chef instead(after toggling on the option in the restaurant menu) but it doesnt work. I have checked and I dont have any other dine out or conflicting mods

carlssims4guide
>>94809289

Did you hire this chef before you installed Dine Out Reloaded? The game has a serious bug where chefs who are not eligible to be cooks can be hired. Don't ask me why, I just had to fix it to get this working. If Player Counts as Chef is on, the first chef you hired won't show up.

carlssims4guide
>>94809289

It is also worth mentioning that mods can conflict and not be obvious. In particular sim spawning mods can conflict. Anything to do with employees. I'd ask you to see (once you check the stuff in my previous post) if the bug is there when you do not have other mods installed. It's quick to move them out to do a fast test. Just cut them to another directory and copy them back in when done.

Paige Smith
>>94809289

You mentioned any mod to do with employees, could that also pertain to mods with careers? For example I have mods for careers that relate to cooking/mixology such as barista career and mixologist. Although these dont relate to employees directly, do you think mods like this could pose an issue? I am trying to get this to work.

carlssims4guide
>>94809289

It really could be a conflict. But the chef problem could be the base game bug. So try re-hiring your chef, ensuring player counts as chef is off if you want them to show, and if nothing else helps try without other mods to get a feel for if the problem is a conflict.

I have noticed an issue with my game. When cooking, if i want to go and do management options it won't let me unless i "end event of cooking as chef" and when I go to guests that have their food and want to comp the meal or give free item it won't let me, it says they need their food first but they have it and are eating.

I'm loving this mod so far! Just a few things are acting a little goofy, my sim is having a tricky time washing dishes. She'll collect them but then keep setting them down instead of taking to the sink/dishwasher/dish station. It takes about 8-10 times of telling her to clean them for her to actually do it. My servers don't have this issue thankfully, only my active sim. Also, when I go into buy/build while my restaurant is open and I go back to live mode it'll close my restaurant.

Hm. That's very strange. You could email your save to carl@carlsguides.com and I will take a look. When the restaurant is open the situation should start as soon as you click the chef station (though they will do nothing much if there aren't any orders).

carlssims4guide

I'm not sure what the exact problem is, but players have issues with chefs not showing in stock Dine Out and certain mods exacerbate it. It might not be incompatibility in your case, it could the the bug where the game picks a chef that is not allowed (by the game) to be a chef. Re-placing a restaurant can fix it as new NPCs will be hired.

There seems to be a...glitch? I have the settings set to guest seat themselves on and host walks guest to seat off..it works but food is only being served to one sim per table. And when food is served by the waiter, the sims who received the food does not eat. Both/all sims(including the sim who received the food) start to get upset with their food not being delivered. Later on I tried having the guest pick up the food for themselves but once they reach their table a glitch happens where the serving plate disappears from the sim's hand and is placed on the ground, but with the food served to the table for only one sim...

I've been having a glitch (?)where customers will have their food delivered quickly but have the upset about wait times notice and then very quickly go from 4 stars to 1 star as if they haven't received their food yet (but they have) and have no available options to order more, welcome etc. I've had the restaurant for over 100 customs and always quick and good quality and still like 90% of my reviews are 1 star. Other then this I've been loving the mod but would like a restaurant with something higher than 1.5 stars.

I couldn't click on the station to cook when I had a chef hired but once Iet him go I was able to, maybe check on if you have a chef hired.

Yeah I was just coming to check, because the bad reviews and long wait time complaint is irritating can't get my restaurant past 2 1/2 stars.

Chefs don't work. They spawn but disappear seconds later. They wear the chef outfit but don't have the restaurant menu. I tried different households, different restaurants, selling, rebuilding, rehiring, etc... I also experience the bug with the 1 star ratings and angry guests complaining about long waiting.

I am now having another glitch. I turn on "count player as chef." so I don't have to have an actual chef and the NPC chef still shows up.

I have this issue and I try to pause the game to fire them but the only thing that pops up is “actions.” It’s so annoying !

What if a chef is not employed and I opened up the restaurant with just my household sim but a chef still appears on the restaurant lot?

I was running 3.106 stand-alone and witnessed sims stealing food from other tables. I know this was a dine out bug awhile back and was surprised to see it occur in reload. Has anyone else seen this happen? I was testing with a restaurant on a upper floor with a skating rink and bowling alley on the first floor and also witnessed a sim from a party of four get up, grab their food and eat on a bench on the bottom floor.

you have to go into the settings for the mod and click "player sim works as chef" and make sure its on

Hey Carl I appreciate all of your hard work. However, when i downloaded the 3.1 version customers will not spawn.

I noticed this - the fix I've found is to welcome them :)

I probably need to make sure my game is up to date. That could probably be the issue.

Has this mod not worked for anyone? Cuz it hasn't for me. I've tried removing all my mods and I still get issues even with the most recent v3.17 and with the recent game version. Food is delivered to only one person per table and when it arrives to the person at the table, they don't eat the food. The customer does not register that the food has arrived, and their rating starts to go down. I think the only version thats worked for me(and is still in my game) has been v2.51. To be honest I would only like the option for sims to walk to their seats without the host walking with them, if there is a way for you to make that an option and it works, i'd gladly pay for it.

Hi Lee. Host walks guests to table is already an option in the mod. The issues with meal placement sounds like moveobjects on objects blocking them, but I cannot be sure. Players who use this around critical objects in the game will frequently encounter problems and it's definitely been the case with DO Reloaded. On the issue with 1-stars, grab the new updated v3.2 and you should see no further issues with that. I had a bit of trouble with my update, but it's polished now.

Thank you this is amazing, cant wait to play with the newest version.

Hi, I can't get the setting menu to pop up. Is anyone else having this problem on the updated version?

I just had 3 food critics come in at once and even though they got their order it said they didn't and I went from 4 1/2 to 1 star :/

I just wanted to thank you for the amazing mod, and for coming to the James Turner/Dr Gluon livestreams to see the mod in action. It is great to know that you're there, taking notes and making suggestions! We love seeing you in the chat!

No I meant having 'Host walks guests to table off/Guest walks themselves" to be the ONLY option, if it could prevent the glitches in my game, I tried v3.2 and the customers now eat the food but again one person per table is still receiving the food and even after eating they still complain about the food not being delivered. I figured it was the lot I was using and decided on using the in game chez llama restaurant(tried moving some stuff around without moveobjects being on) but still had the same issue. I'm going to try building my own small restaurant without the cheat and use the newest version you just posted and let you know how that goes.

I am still loving this mod so much! I am playing the 3.21 version. I noticed in previous versions that restaurant patrons would pick up their food from the table and walk away from the table. They are doing it at every table now. Sometimes it is one person, sometimes the entire table. I don't have benches or other places to sit on the lot. They would walk near where the stereo was playing and then bug out, and drop their food & drink onto the floor. I removed the stereo, and they still walked to that area. I removed all the decorations from the wall near where they were standing, but I have not tested yet to see if that helped. Probably not. They seem intrigued by something, then they give a blocked thought bubble like they can't get to it, then they bug out and reset, dropping everything. I then have to use "move objects" and drag their food back to their table spots, and eventually they will sit down and eat. If I don't drag the food back, they just don't eat. I am not sure if this bug is a Sims game thing, or something from the mod. Just letting you know in case others are experiencing it.

Thank you for this version! Super excited to play!

Hello! I am experiencing a bug with V3.24 with latest game and dlcs. Waiters do not take orders, only serve food and clean up. I have to manually take each order, then the waiters do the rest of their job. I removed this mod and the waiters work again, but I replace the mod back in and it doesn't work. I've tried EVERYTHING. Thanks so much!! Awesome mod btw 😁

I have the exact same issue. It unfortunately makes the mod unusable for me. No matter how I change the settings, the waiters just pace around between the waiter station and the chef's station and they never take orders. I really want to play as the chef but now I have to take everyone's orders. When the food is prepared, the waiters will deliver the food and eventually clean up but I have to be the one to take orders. I had the same issue with v 3.18.

Hi Kody and Mirjam can you both please try the 3.25 build and get back to me? It'd help me a lot. If it DOES NOT work for you, join me on discord in the bug reports channel so you can share your saves and maybe help me out eh? 3.25 fixed it for some people already but I'd like to hear from more.

>>97727023

Wow you respond very quickly. I'll look for V.3.25. Yes, I absolutely can do that. I have some questions first, though. Should my save include the mod loaded? Or without? Currently, I have it removed so that the restaurant functions.

Anonymous

Just a question/idea for the future - would it be possible to somehow save settings per specific restaurant? I'm currently switching between a high-end one, a burger joint and a diner-style place and every time I have to change the settings (in one my sim is a chef, in the other she's a waitress etc). Everything is working fine so far with the v3.26 but could this be a possibility in the future?

Hi. I don't have the "players counts as chef" option in my settings. any idea as to how I can fix this?

Epic mod, loved it since day 1!! I have an issue with trash, but I don't think it's your mod, I feel as though I've had this issue in the past with restaurants... but servers & owners pick up trash & are then frozen for hours holding it. Only solution is to reset them & use cheats to destroy the trash. Is anyone else having this issue? I know I've seen it in the past when visiting to eat as well so it's not new.

8I had an issue where customers wouldn't sit down an eat, they'd just run around the resturant so I couldn't actually serve food. I downloaded the most recent 3.1 version and that seemed to have fixed it for a about two days then the issue came back. I checked and the mod was still installed. I downloaded 3.2 and now the customers aren't just running around constantly but also the chef isn't making orders any more, they stay stand at the chef station looking like they're making food but no meals actually get served? Any ideas, it was working fine for two days?

It would be wonderful to be able to have multiple sims cook! Currently, it only works for one :(

I downloaded this, and now no waiters are showing up at any restaurants, so everyone just sits around looking at menus.

Hi Carl! Pretty, pretty please with sugar on top, could you add the date next to the version number in your posts? I just can't remember if I downloaded version v3.261 or v3.265. Thank you for all your hard work!

thank you Carl. I downloaded it and deleted the old files and tried a few times but people are still playing instruments repeatedly lol

I downloaded this mod before the recent update, and it has stopped the customers from appearing. I went from having 12 guest to maybe 1-2 at a time. Am I doing something wrong?
