Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Deutsch
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create or place an NPC-run restaurant in your game. Let your Sims visit it.
What happens when the bug occurs? When a new meal is ready while the waiters are cleaning up the dishes, they will prioritize delivering the meal and drop the dirty dishes on a nearby table. These old dishes are almost never cleaned up later, even when the waiter is collecting newer dishes from the same table. The "interrupted dishes" even remain when quitting and returning to the lot. As a consequence, the restaurant often turns into a mess.
What do you expect to see? Waiters should finish cleaning up the dishes before doing something else.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
This wasn't always so, I think it started at the time C&D came out.

Here comes the save about the dish washing problem. The best restaurant to test this is the "Tasty Crab" in Brindleton Bay

Looks like I fixed the issue by removing the dishwashing machine from the kitchen. Will do further testing.

Removing the dishwasher improved the situation a lot, but it still occasionally happens. I observed that for ever ignored dishes only occur outside on tables on the restaurant terrace. Inside the restaurant they will be cleaned by the other waiter after some time.

are you using any mods in your game or do you have any lastException files you could provide ?
