Can this be true?
ZephyrZodiac:
I can't understand why it wasn't included in the home business options - after all, people in RL often do "live over the shop" - pubs are a possible home business, but these days most pubs sell food.
Damsel:
Well I guess they like to leave certain things in game to be done in certain ways (which is lame and restrictive in my opinion) like how you can only get a puppy or kitten through breeding or over the phone when in reality you can get them from pet shops and we should be able to do so in game as well.
That is part of what I've always wanted to do, have a Sim live on a small lot over top of a diner they run. There are probably ways I can cheat or use mods to do it I just haven't bothered looking around to see if anyone in the community has made it possible to run a restaurant from home.

So many things that were possible in Sims1 just haven't been included in Sims2. Kids rush out to greet returning parents, but in Sims 1 it was the family dog - a much more realistic scenario! How many kids do you know who rush away from whatever they're doing to hug a parent they haven't seen for all of eight hours?
I'm pretty sure you can find the mods you are looking for over, maybe at MTS2? But why not, for the moment, make a pub instead, and get the buffet tables from Paladin (www.simwardrobe.com) which can be arranged in one room of the pub as a self-service dining room? The customers are automatically charged for their meals, and there is even a hack over there to make visitors hungrier so they want to eat more!
Damsel:
That's definitely a good point. Kids act that way towards a grandparent or aunt/uncle who spoils them but not after only an eight hour absence. In general, though, I've always felt that the Pets EP seems to be missing something. Dogs don't bring slippers or fetch the newspaper, which is a big disappointment. The lack of a covered litter box is also disappointing. I doubt many cat owners use non covered litter pans still.
Thanks for the tip about the buffet tables! I haven't been to Sim Wardrobe in ages. Doing things that way would definitely be less work. It says "This unique buffet table system will allow you to serve any of the group meals in the game". I assume that means it does not include the non restaurant specific foods?
ZephyrZodiac:
Actually, I think it does include at least some of them. The Replicator definitely does.
Around the Sims has a nice covered litter box. And yes, I'd agree that most people would have them from choice - unfortunately, my Maine Coon has always regarded them in the same light as a cat transporter, and will only SLEEP in them!
