My sim is in a household with his wife. I had my sim travel to one of the new restaurants with his wife. When we got to the restaurant, my sim asked to be seated. He sat at a booth, his wife sat at the bar. I'm thinking uh... what's going on? But whatever I go ahead and have him order food. I ordered meals and drinks for both sims. When the food arrived I watched as my Sims wife got up from the bar walked over to the booth and grabbed her drink and set it down on the bar. She then did the same thing for her meal. My sim and his wife literally ate their meals in 2 different places. I had to actually have my sim get up and walk over to her then click "sit together" at the booth to get her to sit down.
Why did I have to do that? We arrive at the restaurant together why didn't we both sit and eat together? While they sat at the table I was able to put a cake on the table (which won't work btw unless you move all the dishes off the table first, so I dragged them to the floor). My sim grabbed a plate still seated at the booth and ate the cheesecake. His wife however stood up, grabbed her cake and started walking off and where do you think she went..... BACK TO THE BAR!!!
Has anyone else experienced this? I was really amused but I do want this to work properly so, what's going on? Should I have said "ask to go out on date" or something so they could sit together?

Lol yea it was funny at first but then the date started to get romantic and I was thinking it would've been cool if they could've sat together from the beginning. I should try again and see if I get the same result
I was in the premade seafood restaurant
I checked his romantic interests and other than his wife he only has one. Some elder lady who used to live up in his neighborhood lol hasn't seen her in forever, wife probably doesn't know so nah that can't be it
There was no second date, her first date with another sim at a restaurant went well though, they sat together and he didn't leave once.
You think it's based on chemistry? My sims are married, both friend and romance bars are about 50%
I don't have a problem with the Diners (except food poisoning every time) but my Sim is Single.
I think its a marriage thing
Maybe unmarried couples need a chaperone to go and eat together?
LOL, no chaperone for my YA Sim. But I remember when I went on a date (I was 16) my Dad made me take my three younger brothers with us to the Drive-In Theatre! Oh what fun...NOT
Maybe a box could pop up when your teen is asked on a date, saying "No, you need a chaperone, you are not going on a date with my Daughter without one" Then you click "yes" and it brings up your friends list and you pick out either their sibling or parent.....if you didn't want too then click "No" and go alone on the date. Well, you know.....its all about options
On another note, Geoffrey Landgraab was getting cosy with an NPC, while his wife, Nancy was dining at the table next to him with Marcus Flez >< I guess the game can only get it right some of the time xD
With all due respect, but that sounds like a really terrible idea both in real life and in the game. I cannot with parents (and in particular fathers) controlling their daughters' love life, but not their sons'.
My immediate thought was that it may be some issue with the build itself not allowing two Sims to sit together. I would go into Build Mode and check that. Other than that I suppose the game is just a little random at times...
