    Someone correct me if I am wrong....but can't you use the food
    register for a restaurant so that you don't need a stove? Your
    sims would order food from the food register.
    No, you're right.

    Stoves aren't even public items. Park grills are, and so are fire pits, but most of the kitchen equipment can't be put on public community lots.

    That's where the Food register comes in.

    If I'm not mistaken the new outdoor kitchen from outdoor living stuff pack can be placed on community lots.


    If you want an indoor restaurant, can you put it indoors? :?:

    Yes everything in this sutff pack can also be used indoors.

    I didn't even know that EP was released yet!! Do you like it? On a scale from 1 to 10 how good is it? And about how much does it cost?

    Maybe seeing your sim eat wasn't a more popular feature of TS2, or maybe they wanted to wait to see if the game was going to be successful before they put a bunch of things into it that would only cost more money.

    Or, maybe, they just didn't feel like it.

    If you make your sim eat outside at a bistro you can watch them it.

    But I don't see what the big deal is; you can just watch your sim eat at home and it's boring. :roll:

    I assume that means you didn't have the Sims 2 - especially Nightlife. In the Sims 1 and 2, you could take your Sims out on dates to restaurants. They could order fancy food, toast their partners, and sometimes (when it went wrong) the waiter would pour food down your Sim's front. There were also particular interactions that would only work sitting down at the table. Like Surprise Engagement - one of my favourite ways of getting a Sim engaged. But I think I miss the "Cuddle" interaction from TS1 the most - Sims in booth seats could cuddle and kiss while on a date.

    It's a stuff pack not an expansion and I love it. It even has 5 new hottubs 3 of which I think are better then the late night ones.

    Sounds great. I'll have to get that one soon, as long as it doesn't cost more than about 20 or 30 bucks of course. I think that's usually what most stuff packs cost at walmart.

    i find rabbit holes boring.

    there was more to resturants then just watching sims eat. if it was a date you could use the interactions to improve it etc. and the surprise engagement that someone already mentioned.

    it's a feature that should return as rabbit holes are only good for a few things

    As Hippie said, the food register works for this purpose.

    I've also seen some clever ways of getting around the no stoves thing...

    I don't get the point of the stove in a restaurant! Who goes to a
    restaurant and cooks their own food? The point of a restaurant is
    to order food. Am I missing something?

    With the food register, you go in and order your food. And the
    game will generate a sim to work the register.

    Is it that some peeps just want the stove for looks?

    Maybe. Although it is possible some folks want it so that their Sims in the Cullinary Career path can cook at work, instead of being another rabbit hole career

    But a restaurant that you build won't work that way. They will
    still go to work in the rabbithole.

    OFB, or Open for Business was one of the expansion packs for The Sims 2. It allowed you to run your own businesses, including restaurants if you also had Nightlife installed.

    Btw, I also agree the whole restaurants issue is really lame.
    So right! The game has no interactivity except for tombs.
