Sims Just Wanna Dance (in Restaurants)

[LadyDarkSorrow]

I can confirm that my Sims in restaurant  seems to have ants in the pants that they don't sit still long enough to order food.. i have to turn off free will so they can order food and get the romantic side going.. as far as speaker in restaurant, I took them out long ago.

Hi @NameGani

merged your thread with collection thread.

Do you have your build in the gallery that I can give it a try ?

[NameGani]

Surprisingly, I do.  I got tired of rebuilding it when I started a new game and uploaded it to the gallery for posterity's sake.  Granted, it will probably change drastically once I get around to playing the owner side of the Restaurant pack, but it (generally) works okay (other than the dancing fever that seems to infect the consumers).

They sure like to dance in your restaurant .. at least they don't go jogging anymore ..

They do sit down again when the food is served though so that's good.

I've also noticed that since the May/June patches, the customers at restaurants like to get up and move about more.

I took some sims to one of the default bin restaurants, Villa Bovine after the patch. Previously, they'd sit at tables and eat, then leave. Now, while they are waiting for food, they'll get up and leave the table and come over to bother my sims who are just trying to have a meal in peace!

I don't have speakers in the restaurant, so no dancing happens. But lots of getting up and chatting, randomly starting to practice singing and hurting other customers' ear drums, etc.

They do return to their tables when their food is served. I can't tell whether I prefer it this way with the more socializing or before when they'd mind themselves and chat with their own table group.

In my restaurant, waiters sometimes just stand and don't take customers orders, and lots of customwrs to just at the host station and don't get seated.

Hi @ejthegreat1

did you try do do some rearranging in your restaurant ? Is it custom built ?

I can confirm basically everything recently reported:

1. Increased instances of customers leaving their own seats

2. Some customers carrying their food to eat somewhere else

3. Customers dancing to wall speakers

4. Waiters jogging outside instead of doing their job

All of these seem to be broken by recent patches.

I am having the jogging problem! My Sim owned the Sunny Side Up diner and every time I opened the restaurant for business, her waitress would stand idly outside before spinning into her jogging outfit and running off. I got rid of that server and hired a new one, only to find that the new server would also start to go jogging after working at the diner for a few Sim days. I finally gave up in disgust and sold the restaurant. Is this supposed to have been fixed by now?

I'm also having more problems with restaurants since the last few patches (Parenthood).  Sims won't stay in their seats, they'll move around, with their plates and drinks. They will dance if there are wall mounted stereos, where they have not done this before.
