#dine out pack

[miss-celestial-being]

i made a diner im really proud of on the sims 4 today and i was hoping yall could check it out

i use console so i dont have any pictures or anything but its called "50s American Diner" and my ID is @/misscelestialsim

i worked on it off and on for like a week and i think it looks pretty cool

it does use a couple packs but not nearly as many as i normally use and most only use like one item so its not really needed

i hope this was enough to encourage someone to check it out even though restaurants are really buggy

It’s the weekend and Gunther’s off work! For once, I can focus on his own wants and whims rather than doing work! Or important socializing. First want that Gunther has is to get a job promotion, related to his aspiration. Which, for the aspiration itself, isn’t really needed at this point. Still I can do Gunther’s daily task for extra points. Review Food or Drink or Write Column. Both are pretty tied together. Checking his hunger need and I guess it’s time for a breakfast out! And I have just the place.

The Sunny Side Up diner! Though I decided to nab one off of the gallery that had it’s interior renovated to a style I thought fitting.

It’s just one of those comfy casual up and coming breakfast spots! Just a nice place! Probably the restaurant I visit to the most out of all thanks to...well, breakfast. Breakfast good. And good for lunch as well.

...though I am suddenly realizing that Gunther could have gone to one of the Windenburg cafes for food or drink. Ah well!

OH GEEZ, raging werewolf! I’ve only had the Werewolves expansion pack for several weeks now so I haven’t really seen how this pack meshes in it’s werewolves with everything. I guess it’s the same as normal, Sims just appear but uh...watch out.

And it looks like we got ourselves a special button that allows us to review this restaurant. Nice! Waiter! Bring me your Americano and an Everything Bagel. That is your special for the day yes? Do not fail me. We ate and drink and...we didn’t seem to get any special moodlets or anything. Then again, if you finish a drink, you food eating gets de-queued so that might have something to do with it. All we got is the normal high taste quality thing from being a celebrity. Alas! Well, that is still enough that I can at least write in his column and feel fine about it.

Oh and this popped up. Thanks to having a negative moodlet while the background music of pop was blaring, this could happen. Do we lionize this negative experience and also gain a dislike of pop while we’re at it? I say...sure why not. He’s a hipster and he’s pretentious.

(Though it was the Carly Rae Jespin song everyone adores so HOW DARE!)

And so we return home, look up some art to inspire ourselves and then set to writing our column about how terrible the food is at the Sunny Side Up Diner. Would anyone be influenced? Probably not, it’s the only diner in town, after all.

So anyway, let’s bounce off of that and actually make progress in Gunther’s aspiration by working on those skills! And the most appealing one is working on the Gourmet Cooking. However, there is a thing.

This house has the Simple Living challenge from Cottage Living, in which we need to have all ingredients in order to cook food. It’s one of those that some simmers just slam on all of their played homes, as it adds to the realism and I personally do like it as well, but just bet on most kitchens having a stocked fridge. It feels fitting for intended chefs and perhaps other poor folks as well, to continually have to think about this.

Annnd look at that price for a stocked fridge! Whew! Those fancy ingredients I threw in really added up! A few moments of waiting and then, bam! Stocked fridge. Also ghosties popping up to cheer up our delivery person and Gunther. How nice! Perhaps I’ll make them a little something as well.

-sharpens knives- Let’s get a cooking!

A thing to also note is that, essentially thanks to Mila Munch, I decided this lot should have the Chef’s Kitchen lot trait as well. Since, well, she is that super chef that cooks! But it’s a nice thing that Gunther is carrying on that tradition from Mila.

And with one lobster tortellni, we rank up to 9! Nice nice nice. Though I thought we were level 7…

And we got such a nice buff that the hunger moodlet won’t go down for awhile thanks to Gunther not wanting to eat anything else thanks to that beautiful dish. Lovely! Pays to make your own fancy foods.

Gunther’s second want is to finish writing a book which...well okay we can write a book from scratch. Between a bout of poetry or writing a non-fiction book, I’d figure it’s time to write some more poetry. As this artist does! I even give it a unique title! “Upon the Winter’s Bale.” And thus do I set Gunther down to write for hours upon end. Riveting gameplay. You are a lot more lazer focused when it’s just one person and their desires in a household.

Ah hello there Guidry! In any haunted house, this dude will show up and hang out. He’s an extremely flirty guy but very helpful. I basically only keep him around if the vibes are right in the house. Aka no vengeful spirits! But Gunther’s not the true object of the ghosts ire so Guidry gets to stick around.

Anyway, the book quality was fantastic so I have Gunther submit it off to a literary digest, which gives him even more money than selling it normally. Which is good because technically, poetry is not the best selling books. But it soothes the artistic soul.

Also I think to actually ask upon Guidry for a NAP repeal signature. It isn’t his thing but well, he’s dead and will pop up anywhere so I can see why he’s not into local politics.

Anyway, I did ask about making the place less spooky and got the advice of actually getting a séance table. And so we shall!

Doing stuff on the séance table raises up the medium skill, which’ll help with all of these ghosties and specters around the place. Might change the chair though. It’s a bit extra for being out in this shed.

-googles: how does one make a house not haunted- Hmm. Not getting any good results here. Does a house ever get un-haunted? That is a thought.

Anyway, the offering of food didn’t work this time for the spectre. Well. Let’s see about a handcarving? Didnt’ like that either! Welp! Uh, hope things go better next time? To bed with us!

Neighborhood Watch!

Manuia Mete in the Mete household has died. Manuia had his last laugh.

Rory Oaklow in the Oaklow household left her job as a Locker Room Attendant in the Athlete career.

...hold the phone. She’s in my played households! I need to check something. ...oh snap. Both that household and Gunther’s didn’t have their Neighborhood stories adjusted to be off. Time to reset that! And there. All off. Guess I gotta be more aware about that.

Sorry I have a deep unshakeable and unabashed love of humanity 🙄 as of it's my fault the vast majority of humans are decent people trying to live good lives

Cherry feels like running away, but Port Promise really is starting to feel like home and it’s still too cold for that shit anyway.

And besides, there’s nothing quite like feeling like a little kid in trouble to motivate you to finish the chores you’ve been putting off. This really would be the perfect spot to build out a kitchen—that is, if Tyler still wouldn’t mind helping Cherry make it happen.

my god these textures are atrocious how have they not come up with a better solution for good quality lightweight textures in the year 2023

sims 4 would be the ultimate game if only they’d fix stuff we’ve been complaining about for over nearly a decade

[weirdo09]

who needs kids to pick on them when you already have a built in bully?

Just got an instant headache thinking about “Maybe you should go home first” versus everything that happened in 6x12

i still haven’t taken any proper photos of the outside of the little bistro i built but here are some of the interior screenshots i took, featuring my wonderful sim Kaylee who is freshly engaged who decided to treat herself to a little solo dinner

i love reading meta but sometimes it just seems like a stretch. Like good for you for using them braincells but it's not as complicated as you think, you know.

Cleaning a space that looks clean is visually unrewarding. And with no sleep there's just no satisfaction. But I don't know why I'm surprised when we clean everyday.

with a long day of travel ahead of them, everyone decided to stop for brunch before hitting the road. and just like that, their weekend getaway is over!

[woolpines]

looks like the only thing i saw of interest and was definitely worth it is the cute little waffle maker in the home chef hustle pack

cool kitchen pack walked so home chef hustle could run
