More Awesome Than You!

Yes, I spend so much time on unowned community lots (downtown section mostly) that I notice another bug.

Unsure if it is prior to patch 2 or not.

Basically, the problem is that when you send a  Sim alone to a Community restaurant lot it will not pay the right amount for the food it ate.  The problem might be there too when it is a outing or on a date, I don't know, did not check that.

Example:  Omelette should cost 11$ but the sim will be billed 30$.
Example2:  Lobster thermidor should cost around 35$ but the sim is billed around 11$.

Seems this is all screwed up.  Is there a way to fix this problem?  I did not check if the problem is the same on owned business so I cannot tell.  It does happen on unowned restaurant community lots all the time, no matter what lot I go to.

Not a mod conflict, I took them all out before posting and the problem is still there.  No error came up either while Testing cheats is on.

3 friends I have checked if they would come up with the same results and they did so I know I am not alone.

Is this screwing up other things?  I don't really mind they pay a bit more or a bit less, but I am worrying of what other things it could screw up in game.

EDIT:  ROFL at your new avatar Pescado.

Had the same thing happen - and was thrilled because my sim was short of cash anyway.  He had pork chops and I think they only cost him 3 or 4 simoleons.  Nice.  And mine was prior to patch2.

( edit: stupid spelling error... and I think I'm gonna land a job like that? )

I noticed that, too.  I thought it was just a fluke or somethng.  I think my Sim paid around 4$ for something expensive as well.

I have this problem since OFB, and the patches didn't change that...

I noticed this also.  My Sim was on a date, and I had calculated the cost of their meal because he wasn't carrying a whole lot.  Turns out, he just barely had enough money.  I can't remember what they ordered, but for a minute there, I thought he was going to have to make a run for it.

I've also had a problem with sitting at a certain table in the Crypt O' Night club...my Sims never get served.  The server takes their order, but never returns with food.

If you don't have enough money, the game sends you a bill in the mail.

Just so you know.

I think Pescado waiter fix will take care of that problem.

Ok, thanks for the info, both of you.  I'll go get that right now.

The tables outside have the other type of decorative candles on them, so the waiter can't serve the food.  I noticed this when I had many sims on one outing which some were seated inside and outside.  The ones sitting outside didn't get the food served.

I just went to the lot in build mode and removed those candles, worked fine after that.

I had a problem with the candles when they were placed on Maxis designed lots, but when I placed the same candles onto dining tables in a restaurant I built myself, there was no problem serving the food.
