Birthday Parties et al [ Edited ]

[DonroaAkashu]

I tested to have a wedding at the Center Park Myshuno Meadows in San Myshuno; the caterer did not make a wedding cake. I went into build mode and removed the pot and pan placed on the stove, and then held a wedding there; the caterer made a wedding cake first thing. I held a birthday party there, (with the pots and pan on the stove), the caterer made no cake; but once my sim 'cleaned up' the pans (and threw some of the parfait away), the caterer got to it. I don't have Pets pack, so cannot try in Brindleton Bay, but maybe there is something blocking the stove/counter/fridge there too; a cake needs those to be made.

I have had similar to this. Sometimes the caterer doest cook at all or seems to wait until just before the event ends to start the cake. On a couple of occasions I have had to make a cake or two myself so it got done in time.

@SimGuruIcarus Yes, I'm having this issue on all public lots, and private to some degree. The caterers often won't even go to the kitchen and when they do, they stop randomly halfway through a meal or make one thing and disappear off to socialize. One Incognito costume party, I had the option of talking about their costume to them while they chilled at the bar the whole party.

Happens to me as well. Hiring a caterer through the party planner will cause him/her to arrive on the lot and doing nothing but socialize and other stuff. He tries maybe to cook something at the beginning but then he stops. Hiring staff from fridge or stoves works fine instead.
