One of The Sims 4 Dine Out’s main Feature focus is Dining in a Restaurant. You can send your Sims in this brand new Venue type and have a great time!
To start your Dine Out experience, make sure you have at least one Restaurant Venue in any of your Worlds. Then, send one or more Sims to that Venue.
On the Restaurant Venue, find the Host, click on him/her and select ‘Request Table’. The Host will seat you to a table that’s available.
NOTE: If all Tables are taken, Sims can wait at the Bar until one of the tables are available.
Once seated, click on the table and select ‘Order for Table’ to order food for your Sims.
A Menu UI will appear, letting you choose between one Meal and one Drink for your Sim. If there is more than one Sim of yours in the Restaurant, clicking on the item from the Menu will bring up a smaller menu of your Sims, which will help you determine which Sim ordered which food.
Pro Tip: If you don’t like what the Menu has to offer, you can change the Menu and add/remove things off it by going to Build Mode and selecting the Edit Custom Menu option in the Restaurant Configuration Menu.
While you wait for your meal to be served, the Table offers a few interactions (among social interactions with your Sim) that you can perform. You can even draw on the Placemat, no matter of your Sim’s age!
Your dish has been served!
You may notice that not every Sim will react to their served food the same way. You’ll find out what your Sims thought of their food once they finish eating it.
If your Sim ordered an Experimental Dish, they’ll be able to take a photo of it. The photo Print can then be found in your Sim’s inventory, which you can later post on Simstagram, hang on the wall or sell for 10 Simoleons.
While your Sims drink and eat, the dish from where they finish eating will immediately be picked up for cleaning by a waiter so that it doesn’t clutter on the table.
With each food bite, Sims will bring out different reactions. You can expect this only if they’re eating Experimental Food.
After your Sims are done eating, they’ll get certain moodlets. If the meal and the nectar match in taste, they’ll get a +3 Happy moodlet! There are so much more moodlets that you can discover by eating different meals, but that’s up to you to discover!
If you want, you can ask a Waiter to send a Compliment / Insult to the Chef. They’ll deliver the customer’s Compliment / Insult right away! Depending on whether it’s a Compliment or an Insult, your feedback will affect the relationship with the Chef.
You can always order another Meal if you want. It’s always nice to finish with a Dessert!
After you’re done, you can pay the bill by clicking on the table and if not, the Simoleon amount will be automatically deducted from your Household funds once you get home.

Hi there everyone, it’s my first go to see at this web page, and article is actually fruitful
for me, keep up posting these posts.
I just hate that if your eating out with friends, you have to pay for their meals.
Thank you for this! I know it’s over two years old, but I’ve just started really experimenting with restaurants in my game. The problem: everyone has a guide on how to build a restaurant, or how to run it, but there are very few guides on how to simply go to a restaurant as a customer and dine! Thank you for this concise and informative guide!
