[NEEDS SAVES] [DO] Waiters don't take orders/ NPC don't order

[ Edited ]
★★ Novice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? n/a
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats and Dogs, City Living, Get to Work, Get Together, Seasons, Laundry, Parenthood, Vampires, Dine Out, Vintage Glamour, Movie Hangout, Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Perfect Patio
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? try to take an order from a customer. provide recommendation. waiter never serve them. customer continues looking at menu until they leave.
What happens when the bug occurs? waiter move on to the next customer. the current customer continues looking at menu.
What do you expect to see? waiter serves every customer who enters our restaurant.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

one customer would come in and ask for recommendation. my sim offers recommendation but the waiter never takes their order. they just move on to the next table. sometimes when the restaurant is packed, waiter will not serve 2 tables so the wait becomes longer to those not yet seated. i have tried to reset the sims but it didn't do the trick. the issue occurs with and without mods. have tried playing without mods to see if it fixes but it hasn't. so i am very certain this has nothing to do with any cc i have. this has been happening at least 6 months after dine out came out.

This is one of these random issues. For me it's working pretty well atm.

 

Is it only recommendations for you ? Any connections to food critiques ?

 

Did you try repairing your game and deleting your cache files ?

I have repaired my game several times and always delete cache files before I play.

 

It's pretty random too - I have had food critiques being ignored so she gave me one star. One table asks for a recommendation and the waiter never serve them, but then he would serve the next table who also ask for recommendations.

 

I have also tried not to interact with any guests (i.e. Welcome, Check for Tables) to see if the problem was with that. Unfortunately it didn't make any difference.

 

Any other troubleshoot ideas I should try? It's been happening for a year.

I also have this issue. It's not always guaranteed, but for the most part, if I recommend food, they will not order. But I also have these issues: Sims will sometimes not get seated, sims will sometimes not order any food, and if they get food, they will finish eating, then sit there forever, and not pay or review my resturant.

I am also having this issue without having purchased the recommend dish perk.

I'm also having this issue.  I have purchased the perk for recommending dish, but I'm not convinced it happens only to customers who ask for recommendations.  I feel like it's table placement or something, but I've tried moving the table but it doesn't fix it.  But definitely the same issue - customer comes in, I go over and "welcome" them, and the servers just completely ignore the table.  Eventually, the NPC diner gets angry and leaves.  There should be a way to "send server to table" or something.....

I still have this problem. Sometimes waiters take the order but sims don't check out.
