missing expansion packs = missing Life Time Wants?
Ellatrue:
Dine Out would be okay if it were worth more or not such a time sink. By the time you fill the want, the date is already over and you've screwed up the mini game by wasting all your time in the restaurant.
Magicmoon:
So is "Dine Out" squashed completely or just when there is no restaurant on the lot?
Although it doesn't give many points and I hate it showing up on 'home' dates, it does add quite a bit to the date bar when fulfilled at a restaurant. It is usually enough to add more time to the date so that you have enough time to actually turn it into a dream date.
J. M. Pescado:
Yes, it will still appear if a restaurant is present. Although I find that pursuing that want can basically torpedo your date, as its yield value is extremely low compared to the amount of time it takes for the entire rigamarole to play out, with your slowmoving 2-mph waiter and all.
Gwill:
If your sim happen to be hungry, it's not too bad. Flirt, kiss, play and entertain wants can be fulfilled while seated, not to mention get engaged, so you can push the date meter while dining out, so it's not as bad as slow dance, but definitely not worth the 500 aspiration points or whatever it is you get.

The way to get around this is by just ordering water and leaving the table immediately after. As soon as the sims are seated (or maybe it's when they order), the want is fulfilled, so there's no use actually bothering to eat a lengthy meal.
