I honestly don't know, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on macs. They basically support packages just the same, right?

Thank you very much! My sims, like me don't like to cook. =)

Amazing! This is something you didn't know you needed until you saw it. I included a Dutch translation.

Great addition to the game, like something you would expect to be in a new EP.

Buzzle, the brazilian translation has an error that I've already fixed yesterday, but you put the old version. Could you update it? The translation is on my last post.

Here's the updated strings for French. I fixed the categories of the meals and changed a couple of things.

I would translate it to Dutch but I see someone already did that.

I have a question, on custom worlds this mod doesn't work, right? I tried a lot of times and it didn't work. The delivery boy always fails.

#40 Old 25th Jul 2010 at 12:56 AM
wow i love this mod!! thank you.

can it be done so that we could order it by clicking on the phone insted of having to move the camera all the way to the resturant to place an order? and is it possible to add another pie menu for ordering many plates at once like during the same call, ex: grilled salmon and hot dogs? or just a single plate like one plate of spaghetti so its cheaper lol
btw its funny how they actually put the food in your fridge but it seems so weird! can you change that? or does it have to be like that cuz of lack of animation?

Thanks 4 sharing ur Hard work of art w/us.

He could just ring the bell and give the food to the sim(it suppose to go to the inventory), would be great.

This is excellent! One question, though - the meals will always have the default 'bistro-quality', right? Never "Outstanding" or "Perfect"?

There is nothing different for custom worlds; for the code they're all the same. At what stage is he failing?

Probably. I'll look into it.

Well, ordering multiple plates would be possible, but I would have to break all that shiny, new code to implement it. I hope you understand that I don't like the idea of doing that.
Ordering a single plate can be done, but that just seems really pointless to me.

What is weird about it? It's meant to be a "fire&forget" feature, so your sims can go to work, or sleep or whatever after ordering food. Giving the meal to one of your sims or putting it down on a surface wouldn't do the trick.

Correct. The meals will give your sims the same buffs as directly eating at the restaurant will.

@des-demmonia: Thanks, I've uploaded it. And as of now, I need the files in UNICODE. I switched to twallan's stbl compiler which wants UNICODE. Pescado's stblc broke most special characters and now I will have to repair all my localizable mods. What a great way to spend a Sunday...

@pawloq: Sorry, des-demmonia beat you to it.
