I would like to discuss some ideas for a Dine Out pack refresh!
Restaurants on residential lots
We can‘t play a story where the restaurant is on the ground floor and your Sim is living above it.
In Sims 2 it has been possible to open up a store/ restaurant on your home lot. Sims could live at a lot while simultaneously have it be a restaurant. This feature would be a huge game changer.
Play as the chef, family-run restaurants
People were disappointed that you can‘t play the chef in Dine Out. You‘re basically the restaurant manager, but can‘t play the chef and cook food at your own restaurant. Also you should be able to employ Sims from your own household to make it a family-run business. Right now you can only employ NPCs outside of household.
BIGGER aquariums
Dine Out introduced aquariums. I would like to see a big aquarium returning in a Dine Out refresh. Even Sims FreePlay has a giant aquarium. You should be able to put your own fish inside, like the other aquariums.
Nectar making (Wine making)
Sims should be able to make the wine that is served at the restaurant. In most previous Sims games you could press your own wine. This has been a popular request to be brought back into the game and Dine Out would be a perfect fit since it already has wine/nectar, but no wine pressing from harvestables.
What are your ideas for a Dine Out refresh? List your ideas below!

its so dumb that the person who owns the restaurant can't run it by themself doing all the jobs so i really never manage restaurants i just visit them
also i would like to set customer limits not by amount of seats
but by whatever i freaking want
because places get overcrowded so easily and my sims romantic dates are no longer romantic i just want to make a quiet vibey place please
also i would like if my sims could apply for job in restaurants without having to own them too! like if restaurant exists why can't my sims work in it
and id like if i didn't need to put down the specific chef station and waiter station and such to be able to have restaurant but thats probably too much so maybe just versions of those to better suit old antiqued builds
and id like if i could have casual fastfood places without fancy host station too <:D
I would also absolutely love sushi belt though idk how complicated that be but just for neon east vibes
I would like to have new lot types so i can put multiple lot types on same lot (like if for example i wanted restaurant and nightclub thats a choice... or if later we have hotels then it'd come handy for that too... or yes absolutely restaurant+residential)
aaand id like to be able to run a bar. only a bar. with no restaurant side. that be neat.
oh and maybe we could have some 50s diner vibes with couple new objects?
that would be stunning

New appliances can include the pizza oven and the deep fryer from TS3 Store. I don't think that the nectar making will be released as part of this refresh, but I think it can be included with another refresh like Jungle Adventure.
Yes definitely! Good ideas
I would like to add...
Stir Fry station, where Sims can sit around and watch the stir fry chef entertain them, while they are preparing their food in front of them. Same with a Susi Bar.
All you can eat buffet tables and bars.
Deli style restaurants, cafes and fast food businesses.
I would like to hire my own family, friends or Sims, that I have made.
Food health inspectors and critics. Things like earning Yelp reviews. But, should have the option to enable/disable.
The ability to display and sell pies or baked goods at your own restaurants.
Love the idea of the food trucks! I'd love to be able to place one at your home or in inventory, then travel to other worlds and bring your truck and set up shop. Id also love to see more foods added.
Personality,depth,humor,consequences,lore,customization.
Great ideas!
More mixed venues.
I'd like to be able to place a restaurant, retail, cafe, lounge, movie theater, bowling alley, and whatever the Eco things that lets traders sell goods - all in the same lot and have things like clubs and dining out events be able to recognize all of the various elements when selecting where to go for an event.
Right now I can place them all - but clubs will only pick the spot if it's the right one of them for a lot type, likewise dates and other events. And retail and the 'eco EP' traders simply can't be on the same lot at all.
So that's my "refresh idea" - and it hits all of these.
I just want all this stuff to 'work together more' for those of us that have bought more of if not all of it.
To expand on this. They could do an entire pack on ways to use food trucks. But at a bare minimum any event that offers to have you go to some restaurant should also let you pick a 'food truck'. If not any food truck, at least one in the same world map.
- which might then require some tailoring of how the event played out, but going to those should be an option for things like dates or small club groups or whatever.
Oh and... ALL of the food stands that are 'off lot' in the areas we can't edit should have stools added to the 2 seating spots such food stands / trucks have.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionMore cuisines, ability to manage and have family as "workers" – do a family ran business.
Franchising options – start with one restaurant and grow as the popularity goes up.
I don't own the Dine Out pack because of the bugs people are reporting and it just not having enough. I would totally buy it if they do a refresh.
I'd like a sushi counter too because most of those Japanese teppanyaki places have them plus if you want to make it just a sushi bar you could
Loved the reply someone put up here, chefs (And yourself) can be able to cook on a big cooktop and the Sims will do tricks, depending on cooking skills and others will react to the tricks they do!
