I think it’s so in-character for Addison to be so inexperienced to overlook the broken fridge he failed to fix as a reason that the customers are unhappy with the decor, and immediately blame the inexperience of the staff he hired.
When you hover it says the mac and cheese was made by Mario, Katrina's husband, so that's just leftover from the previous emporium 😂 A gift from their 4x great grandpa!
I can’t believe Hilary’s parents allowed her to skip school to hang out at her teenage boyfriends restaurant all day; especially when she had yesterday off for Summerfest!
I don’t know how international this problem is, but in my country we had to make it illegal to take your kid out of school for vacations and stuff because kids were missing too much school. So maybe sims have the same issue 😂
If you want really good fertilizer you should get insect farms, thats what i have started using. Select the bombardier beetle and take care od them til you can harvest the nuggets. Not only is it going to give you the nuggets to make food with, but also something called "super fertilizer". It immediately lets the plants evolve for the first 2 or 3 lvls so you have amazing produce really fast
@@mistresstia my sim has 3 insect farms and can harvest nuggets & fertilizer once a day. One harvest of a full farm gets you 2 super fertilizers and 2 nuggets. It might take a bit longer than just using strawberries and such, but the fertilizer quality is way better. In my books thats a win
@@AnnaRammsteiner you still have to nurture them in order to get that fertilizer and that action takes hours. If you have multiple farms, it takes all day. This is just a spin-off and he will occasionally play the restaurant because the sister is still in HS. If this was a dedicated series, then having insect farms won’t be a bad idea.
James, could you make a fitness club and add your employees to increase their skills without paying for it? One of the activities could also be charisma activities. No idea if that would work, but clubs are great for increasing skills and Addison likes fitness anyway
Trenton and Hazel! Wish they would bring the whole fam, and we could see if they fit at the big table. (Also, Dine Out needs the "It's a BUUSS!!" situation.)
The random people coming in happens on restaurant lots. It's not a residence, so walk by's act like it's a community lot. The restaurant not being open just stops customers from spawning. It doesn't stop walk bys. You'll have to get some kind of gate or door at the front and lock it if you want them to stop coming in and making themselves at home. Also, that's not the right father winter. Only Clement Frost has 500k. The other random father winters that spawn when Clement is unavailable only have the standard townie 20k. The ambience problem happens when anyone gets the uncomfortable moodlet from trash or something being dirty. Spoiled coffee and tea will do that, but not sure what is causing it here. It could be the broken fridge that keeps making puddles on the floor.
FYI only Clement has the $500,000, replacement Father Winters only have the standard $20,000. I found that out the hard way while doing the black widow challenge.
I like to think that Reginald is still paying the bills for the facilities since Addison is just using all of the profits on training their staff. I guess you don't get bills on restaurant lots in the game, but it is funnier to have a story reason for it. :D You are doing great Addison!
26:43 I spotted a broken neon sign above the front door. That might be the ambiance problem bc we are always looking in from the other side when in gameplay
I’m pretty sure the broken fridge and mess created by it is what is making the customers hate the ambience lol I’m not even sure how Agatha is cooking without a working fridge…guess she’s super skilled after all! 😅
The décor in the restaurant is really upscale. The only suggestion I might make is if you wanted to make portraits of some of the more prominent BigWallets and maybe put them where the movie posters are...Lady for sure, Anaya and Lacey that had the building as a Club, and Katrina who used the building as a museum for archaeological finds. You could also make some artwork of the building in its various designs as I'm pretty sure you have saved the lots. That's if you have time on your hands, lol.
How can you not love James, been playing forever and completely oblivious to the broken fridge and messy kitchen, really guys it's not my fault I don't know who a mermaid is. Lmao, love ya James!!!
When DO first came out, Little and Sir BW, sis and bro, had several restaurants, including a breakfast diner, a rooftop bistro, a haunted Victorian, and an underwater modern. I think they ran the existing ones while starting new one, quite the tycoons. 😀
@@LivinInSim I know, and Dine Out never worked right so James never did actually achieve his goals. That's why it's so nice to see this now😊 I do miss the breakfast restaurant with the dress code if pyjamas though😂
@@LivinInSim I don't think there's an aspiration, but I think the aim was to have a five star restaurant in each world. There were a lot less world's back then, of course, but that was still a big goal! He did really well, but never quite got them all to five stars , if I remember right.
@@JudithARobinson That seems right. It was difficult to keep them at 5 stars when they were running without being there, too. This mod is really impressive. It adds so much to be able to work the various stations. The Burger Boys is the bomb, too. James and Gluon are so funny playing off each other.
James: Something in this place people don't like. 🤔 Ignores the violently sparking fridge right in the middle of the restaurant. Then again, it makes sense that Addison wouldn't really know what to do about it, so he'd probably leave it in hopes it will somehow fix itself 😂
The two tables with 3 chairs each are causing me anxiety. I wouldn't want to squeeze myself past those chairs, especially not while holding a big tray or something!
I had the same issues with the unpausing, and the strangers entering your lot. What worked for me was to go into manage worlds and go back to the lot and the strangers left
Anybody else started singing at 16:25 when James said 'Oh I see what's happening...' (here... you're face to face with greatness and it's strange) No, just me? (Probably really only me, but it made me chuckle 🤣)
Last night on DrGluon’s first TH-cam stream ever! Thankfully they will play the Burger Boys with James on YT (More James Turner) and DrGluon on Twitch. I love that as I view both streams at the same time. That way I don’t miss all the chaos that happens, but doesn’t make it to James’s edited version. I just can’t miss any of the Burger Boys! I’m so addicted! 😜😂
It would be cool if Addison spends their first pay checks inviting Hilary on a luxury vacation maybe to Mount Komorebi for a snowboarding or skiing experience or Sulani to relax on the beach.
In case it keeps happening, had the same problem with error when loading to restaurant lot, unpausing and game firing my workers. I fixed it by renaming my old sims 4 folder and launching the game, so it made a new vanilla installation. Then just moved saves, trays, and stuff to new folder. Really enjoying all the videos you have been putting out, thank you!
JUST A TIP! you only get half million simoleons if you marry CLEMENT FROST. any other father winters after him only give you 200k or 20k (i forgot which).
I did see a Water All option, when you were checking to see if anything could be harvested, I think it was plants on the elevated section, so at least some plants need watering.
2 things: 1.) If you scored high enough points for Winterfest, you'd get the real Father Winter and possibly nicer presents... though don't quote me on that. It's still pretty random what you get. 2.) You DO remember Addyson could just busk for money instead of waiting on a bunch of plants to grow, right?
Since the tables by the wall are just deco move the chief stations one tile over towards them. You will still have a walk way on that side and will now have one on the smoshed side, since you can't walk through when people are seated!
I think the unpausing bug isn”t particular with Carl’s mod, bc I don’t have that mod, yet I have had the same issue. The mods I have are the TOOL mid and the more traits mod. Maybe it’s an issue with script mods in general?
I would hate to be seated at those 3-seat tables btwn the foundation & the kitchen. Squished ✅ Close to other people ✅ Close to heat ✅ Did James mean to create a mini hell in this restaurant?
My first thought for why the ambiance would be down is maybe because of the broken appliance. But I don’t know if broken things affect that issue, and I don’t know if you fixed the appliance yet or not.
If at the start of shift... and later.... you do the inspiring speech interaction with staff including the chef (or especially an employee not doing much)... and not just praise... it helps.
I'm late in commenting this but the sort of pause unpause fast forward like not like undoing is just a general glitch right now you can get. I always have to click multiple times in order to get the game to do what i want when it comes that. It happens even when you have an empty lot.
I don't know if you know this..but you should because you're a professional game player at this point, you can turn off neighborhood action plans in the settings under game options
I would be really disappointed if I were seated in any of those tables along the lower level of the platform... your head is basically at the same level as the feet of the people seated on the platform and the floor (along with anything that may get dropped).
Hi James i am new to sims and i have a question 😅 can i purchase just the stuff packs without any expansion packs?? I mean is expansion packs a necessity??
Took me a minute to realize what James meant when he said "[summer fest] is basically in-game Christmas" then I remembered that Christmas is in Summer in the southern hemisphere 😅
I find that if you place on the tables the candle that came in the Dine out pack, your customers won't be as unappreciative with the ambiance. Try replacing the plants on the tables with those candles.
Sparking, leaking fridge making a huge mess in the center of the restaurant. James: "What is it they don't like about my decor?!" 🙃
and when he fixed it, the next day they loved the ambiance 😂🤌🏼
Even Addison got a negative emoticon about the trashy ambience and James still didn't pick up on it.. 😂
Nope. Definitely the fault of the employees 😂
"I should also fix this fridge" then doesn't fix it
He was stuck in the Burger Boys mentality!
I think it’s so in-character for Addison to be so inexperienced to overlook the broken fridge he failed to fix as a reason that the customers are unhappy with the decor, and immediately blame the inexperience of the staff he hired.
When you hover it says the mac and cheese was made by Mario, Katrina's husband, so that's just leftover from the previous emporium 😂 A gift from their 4x great grandpa!
That’s hilarious 😂
Omg haha, that’s amazing and also gross 🤣
Reminds me of the Lon Lon milk in Zelda Ocarina of Time where if you forget to drink it, Link keeps it in his pockets for 7 years..!
Who needs 100 year old eggs when you can have 4 generation Mac and cheese lol
It’s just really aged cheddar Mac and cheese now ~
All the Bigwallet cameos were great! Also, Addison flirting with their girlfriend while the staff cleans up is a classic teen move
I can’t believe Hilary’s parents allowed her to skip school to hang out at her teenage boyfriends restaurant all day; especially when she had yesterday off for Summerfest!
I don’t know how international this problem is, but in my country we had to make it illegal to take your kid out of school for vacations and stuff because kids were missing too much school. So maybe sims have the same issue 😂
James: Why does everyone hate the ambiance?
Me, screaming: Fix the refrigerator and mop up the puddle!!!
It's unbearable! Doesn't the sparking and puddles bother him as a player too??
@@Shadow8Star I know right, the zzzztt noise goes straight to my brain...😄
Plus the stinky toilet!!!

That is a great tip, thank you! I'll try this in my game. Always fun to find new features to use.
You don't even need the bombardier beetle, just the regular beetles. Crickets and grubs give a rare chance as well, but not as often as beetles
Between the broken fridge and the broken toilet, I can't imagine what they don't like about the ambience. lol
I actually think it’s so cute Hillary stayed back for that free dessert to see Allison a bit longer 🥰
Running a beautiful restaurant, and he ends up eating prehistoric Mac and cheese, and floor salmon! Yum!😂
can't believe you were blaming your staff instead of the smoking fridge LOL
In all fairness, the “service” symbol popped up with a red outline a few times
James: *Has an open front door that never shuts*
Also James: "Hello?! Why are you here??
Pretty sure the negative ambience was from the broken, leaking fridge and nasty toilet. XD
James, could you make a fitness club and add your employees to increase their skills without paying for it? One of the activities could also be charisma activities. No idea if that would work, but clubs are great for increasing skills and Addison likes fitness anyway
Good idea! This could be a team building activity day. Addison the greatest boss. XD
@@ainoruoste9338 yesss 😂😂 meanwhile it’s for his own gain lol
@@ginnylowe120 yes indeed :'D
I love seeing the other bigwallets in the restaurant. It's like a crossover !
Trenton and Hazel! Wish they would bring the whole fam, and we could see if they fit at the big table. (Also, Dine Out needs the "It's a BUUSS!!" situation.)
It's a who's who of the Bigwallet's series!
James: "She doesn't even work here!"
Karen: I just like cleaning.
When that Death Notice came up, I thought it was Agatha’s time. James: “But I just spent money to train her!” Lol

I get random visitors in my families houses all the time and it is so anoying that I stopped playing.
Honestly James playing Dine Out recently (Burger Boys and this series) makes me want to finally buy it lol
If you buy it remember he has a mod to make it run smoother ~
Do it!! I bought it after the first Burger Boys live stream and I am loving building restaurants. Make sure you get Carl's mod to make it better!
If you can get it on sale. It’s pretty broken. Make sure you use Carl’s mod otherwise it will be unplayable.
@@littleflick wonder why they won’t fix it
FYI only Clement has the $500,000, replacement Father Winters only have the standard $20,000. I found that out the hard way while doing the black widow challenge.
James- “let’s marry Father Winter!”
Hilary- “Am I a joke to you?”
I think it's coffee and benches causing issues with pausing 🤔
lol 🤣😂
😆🤣😂
If you know, you know
Oh definitely the coffee! And then maybe the new coffee machine too
I like to think that Reginald is still paying the bills for the facilities since Addison is just using all of the profits on training their staff. I guess you don't get bills on restaurant lots in the game, but it is funnier to have a story reason for it. :D You are doing great Addison!
Wait... wasn't Mario Robles Katrina's husband? That mac and cheese has been there a while! 😂
Yes!!! That mac and cheese has literally been there for generations!
Carl rocks!!! He makes the Sims4 a much better and playable game! Thanks James love all the content you've been putting out!

Get the garage sale table, put all the items from inventory on that, then you can "collect" inventory quickly from the table.
How can you not love James, been playing forever and completely oblivious to the broken fridge and messy kitchen, really guys it's not my fault I don't know who a mermaid is. Lmao, love ya James!!!
So fun seeing the old characters!
It's so nice to see Dine Out working properly, and a Bigwallet finally getting the chance to be a successful restauranteur 😊

the way i’m super sick but i binge watch all of james’ videos because it helps
was waiting for more burger boys but hey this one also works!! any james turner content is appreciated 😌✨

me spoiled from the burger boys: OOMBIOOONCE

I might be wrong, but I think there’s a placemat on the table in the cupcake room? 4:05
This was amazing! I love it!
I’m actually considering buying dine out due to this mod making it actually playable 😅
oh I love the photos of Afro! what a sweet little easter egg
Right?!
Heck yeah, new James content just dropped!
I have been waiting on the video since the last one can’t wait to watch it!! ❤
OMG! I could swear Hilary on the thumbnail was Lady Bigwallet!!!
I did see a Water All option, when you were checking to see if anything could be harvested, I think it was plants on the elevated section, so at least some plants need watering.
Omg repeal all neighbourhood action plans is a game changer. Sick of my customers having bags on their heads!
Big wallets restaurant, floor salmon and bin chicken
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR 2 WEEKS JAMES!!!!
I really enjoy this mini-series :-)
I see everyone has been having problems with their sims not listening lol it’s like they have a mind of their own 😅
2 things: 1.) If you scored high enough points for Winterfest, you'd get the real Father Winter and possibly nicer presents... though don't quote me on that. It's still pretty random what you get. 2.) You DO remember Addyson could just busk for money instead of waiting on a bunch of plants to grow, right?
I'm a bit confused, if you install AC in your restaurant, where does the utility bill go to? I mean you don't pay lot tax for restaurant.
Since the tables by the wall are just deco move the chief stations one tile over towards them. You will still have a walk way on that side and will now have one on the smoshed side, since you can't walk through when people are seated!
Yay! I've been looking forward to this!
Please make this a long series! :D
Love how all bigwallets came to support addison 😄
Hold shift while you place the items. You won’t need to select them each time.
Love the random Shrek reference in there. 😍
Today is my birthday and you posted a part 2❤❤❤
Happy birthday!
I think the unpausing bug isn”t particular with Carl’s mod, bc I don’t have that mod, yet I have had the same issue. The mods I have are the TOOL mid and the more traits mod. Maybe it’s an issue with script mods in general?
you should harvest some food from the community garden down the road, there's some good ones there that'll help to fill the fridge
Why am i so invested in this lol
james, u have so many let's plays (burger boys, high school years, dine out, super sim) I can't keep up please calm down 😭🤣 /j
I would hate to be seated at those 3-seat tables btwn the foundation & the kitchen.
Squished ✅
Close to other people ✅
Close to heat ✅
Did James mean to create a mini hell in this restaurant?
In my experience fish make the best fertilizer
Rags to riches again ! Yay🎉
A restaurant paying their wait staff more than 2$ an hour??
I think you forgot you put the teen hangout lot trait on in the last video! Explains a lot
UP YOUR REPAIR AND CLEANING
This is a great looking restaurant!
can you move the kitchen block 1 tile to the left?
My first thought for why the ambiance would be down is maybe because of the broken appliance. But I don’t know if broken things affect that issue, and I don’t know if you fixed the appliance yet or not.

Remember to use the peak points on something🙂
oh my god this sim is jack pattillo's gtav character kgkfkkgg
I'm late in commenting this but the sort of pause unpause fast forward like not like undoing is just a general glitch right now you can get. I always have to click multiple times in order to get the game to do what i want when it comes that. It happens even when you have an empty lot.
Do you think an ambience radio speaker would make them happier?

hazel and trenton my beloveds
Your cofffee brewer is broken that's why they don't like the ambiance
Oh it's the fridge that's broken
4:09 Let’s call it unpaid internships
5:44 a little pms’y and I got teary eyed thinking, «it’s just a gathering of lonely sims on Christmas, how sweet».
30:50 so many family members, I feel like we are just missing the original Lady Bigwallet’s ghost up on the balcony watching over the place.
Hi James i am new to sims and i have a question 😅 can i purchase just the stuff packs without any expansion packs?? I mean is expansion packs a necessity??
I’d like to have this restaurant in the library, is there any possibility to achieve that? ❤
Maybe you should build a stage with a microphone, a piano, and a guitar. A little entertainment while people dine.
Took me a minute to realize what James meant when he said "[summer fest] is basically in-game Christmas" then I remembered that Christmas is in Summer in the southern hemisphere 😅
Watching this late but just laughing at the fridge making all the stars just drop.
Yeah I guess I should have fixed that sooner haha
I find that if you place on the tables the candle that came in the Dine out pack, your customers won't be as unappreciative with the ambiance. Try replacing the plants on the tables with those candles.
