wow, fantastic job! :) Love how the chefs and waiters are split. I hope you can work out the workers to route to work that would be awesome! I hate things just popping in the game -.-

Very complex mod, kudos for your wonderful work! Is it possible to make the idle waiter animations (I know, more complexity, LOL!) similar to the resort maintenance workers? (Sweeping or fixing things on the lot?) That would be pretty sweet.

Very much appreciate your thoroughness in creating the video tutorial too - a lot of simmers love to learn with video instead of reading long instructions. Plus videos cut down significantly on how-to-use questions, so great job there.

I actually figures out it wasn't this mod that made my game crash. Do you think you could create mod for the registers , like in sims 2 , how the wait in line and leave with a bag ?

Im so happy for this mod and thats why I have a request. I wish I could use the pizzaoven and the sushi teppanyaki table on a community lot. Not only for random sims to use, but the opportunity to hire a sims to make pizza and sushi. Hope you will look at it:-)

Great, but which file is the right one to download?

An update to my thanks...

Does the lot have to be a specific type? I only ask because I have it set up in an "Exclusive Club", and neither the chef nor the waiters come in to work. :-(

Thank you so much, this makes everything much more user-friendly!

I was wondering if there isn't some simple tweak that would enable sims to just wear their Everyday outfits to work, instead of switching to Work outfits? I tried using MC to switch them during play, but they undid my efforts instantaneously.

Again, thanks for the awesome creation!

Great mod! I've noticed that you that we can alter their work uniforms. I did. But it seems like they reset when they come back to work again. Do you think you could fix this?

To all those who havn't figured it out yet if you are patched to version 1.63 you need the file marked as ani_BistroSet 1.63.rar.

you made the set a lot better! i'd love to see a mod for the black jack, poker or roulette table to ask other sims to play!

Use MC and give them a RH full time job, this will give them a permanent work outfit. Then use MC again and give them a self employed career. If you now edit the work outfit, it will stick.

I really like your mod ani_, but you create an update for this mod that pushes the chef sims to leave the lot after their shift is over? They are starting to collect in my house and I feel like they're getting too comfortable...

This mod will not work in my game, and I don't have the one from EA either... is the one from EA one I should get separately? and if so do you know where to get it? And last :-) does your mod not work without the one from EA? :-)

And I really love your mods :-)

Rubberdog93 You must have the original set from EA in order for this mod to work. The mod is coded to depend on the content to function properly.

Hi Ani! First of all thank you for this amazing mod! I love it!

I have a sort-of suggestion. While I love using your mod, after a while I am constantly bombarded by messages saying "Chef couldn't be found for shift". This mod will work for a few Sim days but then this message pops up all the time.

I use MC to set an NPC to have a Gardner career so if they have a career they aren't pushed to it. But eventually I get that message. I then have to go through the entire process of setting up the mod again. Would it be possible to make an alternative, simplified version? Where the Bistro Oven and Menu function like EA's (spawning a random chef ETC), but allow us to have the 'Dine With' option and still allow children to use the menu?
