My Restaurant home

I have playtested my restaurant and all is going well with my sims living in an apartment above. Noticed a few nigglies though like for instance they can't have a dining room cause all tables are considered to belong to the restaurant and their hunger does not fill up as fast as on a home lot, so they usually have seconds. The lot is a restaurant, they still own their house its just that they don't live in it anymore.
This is their apartment, the kitchen is very spacious because I originally had a dining set there, but realised its not playable
This is the restaurant. Its an original maxis one that I just refurnished a bit and added the stairs to the apartment
These are the two doors that goes out to the staircase, one can only be opened by Denise and the other by Antonio so no one can go through there but them. I also added a door to the kitchen that is employees only since some of my restaurant goers were impatient and helped themselfs to the fridge.
I have played with this family a while now, its so much easier if they live at the restaurant they can clean up and keep it tidy after staff left. And they can have naps or watch tv and take turns in welcoming customers and checking on tables and praising and inspiring their staff

I didn't notice the same problem you have with sims not eating at their own kitchen. Someone mentioned that this could be because my kitchen table is CC.
Have a look...
Here is my restaurant..
The VIP area which nobody uses even though there is no lock on the door
Here is the apartment above.
Here is my sim eating breakfast on her own kitchen table which is on the restaurant lot.
Roof Patio!!
That looks AweSim. I love it. Yes I play a mod free and cc free game. The only thing in my mod folder is a baby clothing default I made so boys wear blue and girls wear pink. I might try a desk and see what happens, perhaps just tables are "owned" by the restaurant. Well done on your build its stunning
That is one cute little cafe/apartment. Hmm.... You have inspired me.
Great idea, looks like it's really working for you
Edit: Sorry, I misunderstood your post. Looks like you are doing this anyway!
My Sim has her home lot, and she purchased Shimuzu, a cute little Japanese restaurant (created by EA, it's on the Gallery) and I just modified the lot to include an apartment in the basement (minus some stuff like an extra kitchen or dining or living room - it's just a bedroom and bathroom for now, but I could see it getting totally expanded if I wanted my Sim to live there. They can live there, you just have to pay the bills on your "home" lot even if you don't actually go back there often.
(You can see the Shimuzu stuff here if you want to see what I did!)
Can I download this
Awesome!!
Not really no. Just an idea that I had. Places I've seen in my own home town and travels. Glad you like it!!
Sorry no, it's not on the gallery
It's from one of my builds - great to fill in the empty space in your kitchen! Use the rounded ends of the bar of your choosing. I love to put the rounded barstools with this, it looks like a set!

That is strange, I hope they work on little things like that with the next update
Yes I am loving it, so much easier than having to travel to and from the restaurant the whole time, and my sims can relax and take turns during the busy hours as well, perfect
LOL about the bills, I thought naaaa just ignore them and the next moment the restaurants electricity went of, so yeah we have to pay it for both the home lot and the restaurant seem to use the same electrical company hahahahaha
Yes it does
Wow that is awesome, looks so much better, thank you I will try that. Here is your pic so others can see
Thank you I love it and its useable
Thank you
Ahh, how I miss the open world - we'll just have to make due!
I had just discovered the desk thing works the other day.. What I did was put the corner island counters created a circle, then put the barstools and my Sims eat in the kitchen while watching TV.. the staff takes tiny breaks to watch it as well for their fun..
That would be lovely
Yip thats why I build above the restaurant, where there is a will there is a way
lol my staff is banned from my little studio home, they work that is why I pay them
I have never experienced this, no idea why
