Update! 10/22/20

As requested by several of you, I have added a vegetarian option. I am not sure why I didn't add it to start with - I was vegan/vegetarian for 6 years myself lol! There aren't a ton of great BGC vegetarian options but you have tofu dogs, tofu hamburgers, mac & cheese and grilled cheese. Tons of carbs lol! 

I also added an empty option which costs nothing to stock (obvs). This will let you place your own meals without having to pay to stock the buffet. Use the same link below to get the updated version!

I have been working on this buffet table for months. I have started over from scratch at least 4 times trying to make it better. I originally had the buffet as part of a counter and the interactions weren't very intuitive. I ended up figuring out how to make the buffet inserts cut out counters just like sinks do! So I ended up scrapping the version that included the counter and I feel like this gives you the most customizability to use however you want! There are two insert types - single and double. Both have the same stocking options

  • Appetizers
  • Breakfast
  • Lunch
  • Dinner
  • Meat
  • Seafood
  • Dessert
  • Vegetarian (NEW! 10/22/20)
  • Empty (NEW! 10/22/20)

For now all the available recipes are just from the base game. I am trying to figure out a way to properly test which expansion packs each user has so I can add more variety. But there are still quite a bit of options! 

The buffet inserts start 'closed' with a top on. From there you can stock it with any one of the options. It will spawn multi-serve, consumable foods in the buffet trays. Any sim, NPC etc, can grab a helping! To change the buffet type just close the buffet and choose a new option. 

Previously I stocked the buffet with 'deco' items and required the sim to then order from the buffet after the deco food spawned. I think this new method is more intuitive to players. If you want a custom setup you can just delete/move the food items in the tray and place your own in there.

I included a decor topping insert and a sneeze guard to use with them as well. As always, please give me any feedback or suggestions!

So I've been trying this out in game today and I love it! it's great for quick spawning plates of food to stick in the Fridge Display so toddlers dont have to bitch that they're hungry. I love that it goes on the kitchen counters so I dont have to find any additional space if my sims have a small home.

Oh I didn’t even think of this for a use!! I can make something more specific for kids? I don’t have anything like animal crackers... Is the food in there now okay for toddlers?

Wowwwww ;) Another wonderful item. Thank you sooo much for creating and all the hours of work. Lovely regards and pls. stay healthy

Is anyone else having trouble with the sneeze guard not lining up on kitchen counters? The sneeze guards slot on top of the inserts in my game. For now I'll just use the inserts without the sneeze guard. Such an amazing piece.

So I don’t have any issues with it, but someone told me that if you have a counter slottting mod it messed with it!

Ooooh great idea, so convenient (my Sims are so lazy when it comes to cooking especially for event...) !! I made a French translation of it if you want to add it :) http://www.simfileshare.net/download/2107991/

I love this, and it's really useful. I'm just having one problem - there's no way to clean it out if the food goes bad. So I have all of these green fumes coming from the buffet and to fix it I either have to delete the tray or restock it.

ravasheen

Hmm weird. The food should be top quality meaning it shouldn’t spoil.... hmm. And sims can’t clean it out ur saying? It. Should clear out all the food when you “close the buffet”. Have you had any more luck?

Lisa Martin

is there a way for you to make it cost to get food in restaurants

I put the buffet in after cleaning it and now it will not stock any food

Is it possible to enable these for children? I want to use them for a kids club so they can get dinner while their parents are at work, but kids can't stock the buffets.

ravasheen

sorry for the late reponse... it should cost in restaurants. but i cant make the plates cost money, only stocking the buffet as a whole

hey, this is so cool!! im using it at my baby shower event but it wont go on any kitchen counters is there a specific counter that the food goes on?

ravasheen

it needs to go on the bigger sized counters... it uses a sink slot, so if you can put a sink on a counter, you should be able to place these! you cant place them if there is a dishwasher in the counter already. i was actually testing a new buffet table that works with the inserts. if you shoot me a dm i can send that to you and you can also see if that works.... but also it should really work on any counter - CC or EA

Yess it worked now thank you so so much !! i love it soo useful for parties!!
