Money-making Bars for Sims 4 Dine Out! (Patreon)
Content
Having a mixologist on hand at a restaurant should do something for the establishment. For this reason, I am planning to start work immediately on a system that lets you make money off ordered drinks at restaurants.
As a stretch goal for a near-future release, we could perhaps make it work without requiring you to have a chef at all! You might have to slap a chef station in the basement to fulfill lot requirements, but it sure seems like bars could piggyback off the Dine Out systems.
I'm hoping to first make it so that Sims might show up just to get drinks and leave. I'll see if we can make this a bit more official with a mixologist role you can hire... if not ,at least we will have another way to make money off your establishment.
I'd also like to make it so that Sims order a round of drinks or get another course. Sims were supposed to be getting desert in the code but I have never seen it work. Are you guys interested in this?
I will do this before getting started on buffets, so that I don't delay the restaurant-specific settings feature too much. I think I'm going to have to go with pre-plated meals based off the menu to pull that off. Keeping the buffet stocked with a variety will be important, regardless.
All this will take a while, but I think that there is a lot more potential for content related to Dine Out before I move on to some other big project.
