I'm loving it! He's the cool boss haha. I would also love to see James create a club with his employees and then they can do work related hobbies and bond 😆
Don't forget to praise each worker once per shift so they're always happy to be working for you! It's not always about the pay/promotion to keep them happy :)
That's the issue with the Sims 4 in general. Toddlers feel too old, kids feel too young (look 11 and act 6), teens are basically adults, zero difference between young adults and adults except some wrinkles, then elders feel 90+ immediately.
Please don't forget to have Addison fix the broken sign over the entrance. Would hate that a broken sign stops a 5 star review. Thank You for a Awesome part 3 :)
I think you should give Addison an outfit for when they are working at the restaurant! Like a professional looking outfit or a waiter outfit so he looks like he actually belongs there :)
Yeah and also they should maybe have their hair tied up. It's luscious and beautiful, but having worked in a restaurant all I can think is 'health and safety hazard' 🙈
Hazel's there pumping Selene for information on her oldest kids and grandchild. "You live in the area. You must know how they are. I just wanna know they're alive. They never visit!... Well except for a couple of times to eat our chickens... Their Dad was really upset about that."
Just a reminder to harvest the products from the plants you evolve, even though the plant is higher quality the harvest will be the lower quality untill if grows in fresh.
21:11 James’ play style has changed quite a bit. My jaw literally dropped when he wanted to give a second promotion, especially since the employee didn’t complain first!
Addison's Business Plan: 1.) Get massive loan from dads. 2.) Spend it all on a giant warehouse + massive renovations. 3.) Open restaurant, immediately go into bankruptcy. 4.) Sell grapes for lotto tickets. 5.) Profit.
Love this Mod by Carl! I've had so much fun playing with it and so much fun watching your series. Carl's Guides was a no-brainer for me to support via Patreon. He's done so much for the Sims community. 🥰
Hilary can join Addison’s household and then while they cook she can talk with the customers. Also don’t have them have kids until the infant update and maybe the new expansion pack. 😅 But eventually the kids can be the waiters and the restaurant will be all family members.
Well the new expansion pack will hopefully have new gameplay to explore so probably safe to say they'll be done by then regardless of when that comes out (unless he decides to explore that with the other branch of the family!)
@@amandaconnor5874 it was in the dine out rags to riches LP, he had an emplyee who was "very satisfied" with his job, but James read it as "very UNsatisfied", and spent the whole episode trying to get this guy to like the job. in the end he had bothered the dude so much that he went down to only being "satisfied" lol. it was so funny.
When you get more money next time don't forget to add the air con so you, the employees, and customers are more comfortable. I know your sim can wear hot weather clothes to help... but that doesn't help the others.
I love how James spends multiple episodes pointing out how squished the tables are one one side of the restaurant while there is plenty of room to shift the kitchen towards the other side to even it out. 🤣
I would love to see a high school dropout teen (like Addison) working in the Burger Boys Restaurant. I think that adds to the realism of fast food in America; especially if the teen couldn’t care less about the job lol
I could totally see you saying that if you were a business owner!! "Come back here! I'm just trying to better you!! Listen to me I'm your boss!!" Then they don't listen to you and you just chuckle nervously.
Addison overheating all the time really makes me wish the hot/cold weather clothing system was different. Like, imagine if instead of being 2 extra outfit categories it was a setting for all the OTHER outfit categories. Hot and cold weather everday wear, formal wear, etc. Sims wearing comfy sweaters to bed when it's cold and boxers when it's hot. Yes, it'd be more outfits to make and some might think it's too much... But maybe you could link them to all be the same the way you can do with occult forms? Or just choose full looks.
Not sure if this is an issue you personally have or if this helps what your saying but when playing when setting hot/cold outfits you can click off the hot/cold weather tag etc for that outfit category and choose anything you want and then it won't say overheating/freezing when wearing those outfits. But maybe you knew that already. It also gives more options cause not limited to that category.
@@freesia131 yeah, I do that whenever I remember! but having to set differently themed hot/cold weather outfits like that and then struggling with sims i.e. automonously switching to formal wear and freezing to death is so very annoying to me? it's not a huge deal, I just feel like it could be avoided if the system got an overhaul
You don't really need to reach level 7 of the cooking skill. As per the EA website and I quote, "Reach level 5 in the Cooking Skill to unlock Gourmet Cooking!"
31:50. My sim got a similar message from their parent once. He was a teen and went to school only to get that visiting message from his mom while at school. And then she was happy he "visited" when he came home from school. And I was left wondering why his mom was so dang clingy lol.
So, potential “cheat, but it’s in the game”: If you start a club with your chef and cook gourmet food together, will their skill rise? Same with a fitness club with the waiters? It’s sneaky if you can’t afford training for a new restaurant 😅
I'm a year late, but the fact that James never moved the whole kitchen over one tile to make room for those 3 seater tables is just driving me nuts! Especially since his Sims aren't using the tables on the left side of the restaurant.
😂 that’s so Kevin. Hey, Addison we miss you please come visit. *the next day* goes to addisons restaurant “ hey! Thanks for visiting. Your such a good kid” 😂
I have two Agneses and Agathas in my save too lol. They jog past my house in Willow Creek on a constant loop day and night .I think it might be a multi-generation thing glitching it out,
I think Hillary and Addison should move in together and Hillary could become the "manager" and welcome the customers, giving the personal touch and attention. And Addison would be the sous chef, maybe once their skills go up they become the full time chef.
Video suggestion! Recreating one of the modern builds from Sims 3 Into the Future, in the Sims 4. You are so good at making modern builds that I’d love to see your take on a recreation from that pack. Love your content, James!
I'm posting this early in my watch time so maybe you cover this in the video already, but I think it'd be a fun end game challenge for Addison to make enough money for them to "pay back" Reginald for the cost of the restaurant and starter home!
A takeout fridge. definately. buying and leaving with food is a thing. some people don't want dine in, and others need a to-go plate for someone at home. makes total sense
Take a shot every time James uses money to pay for training or promote or buy meat walls instead of buying a $150 thermostat. ~ends up dying from alcohol poisoning~
I think the food might be going off so quickly in the Burger Boy's let's play because the refrigerators are really low quality. That might not be the case, because it does seem to be extremely quick, even for the low quality fridges --- but worth looking into.
Would it be easier to praise them and send them for training at the end of the shifts before closing, almost like an end-of-shift meeting? That way Addison doesn't have to fight for attention against the customer.
If you have the ability... give inspirational speeches to your employees. I THINK they seem to stand around less when I do that. It also helps with their satisfaction and seems to help when they are flagging from being tired, tense, need to pee, etc.
Editing this comment because I was actually wrong About the one star review table, But! It does appear that when you take orders or try to serve food it glitches out because your employees are trying to do it at the same time. The table that you served food for towards of the end of the episode glitched out because they needed their dishes cleared before the food could be served. That's why that one meal was still sitting there, kaito was in the process of cleaning up So when you serve the food it still displayed whatever was left by the prior customers and I don't think that they ate it all. Not sure if that affected the rating. Loving the let's play! But I think things would be smoother if you took your time, and waited to welcome and interact with customers until the food is actually on the table, and then maybe only clear tables instead of trying to serve or take orders.
I think the problem with the refrigerators is a glitch. All my refrigerators in all my saves are doing the same thing even though they worked fine before.
I definatly think you should change Agathas station back, that way when you're not playing as 2nd chef the meals are finished closer to the dining room. Otherwise it's wasting time and weird routing of servers to pick up food to serve. Currently they will always walk all the way in, past Agatha, just to grab food
The most unrealistic part of this LP is the boss actually caring about their staff being paid enough. 😂❤️
Facts
The training investment is a nice perk!
I'm loving it! He's the cool boss haha. I would also love to see James create a club with his employees and then they can do work related hobbies and bond 😆
Don't forget to praise each worker once per shift so they're always happy to be working for you! It's not always about the pay/promotion to keep them happy :)
Also save the praise until customers are disallowed but he hasn't closed up yet.
It feels too soon for their parents to be elders yet. Elders in the sims are like, *so* old.
Agreed...
Yeah, just adult should be enough
My adults usually go from 40 to 60/65 and that's when i make them elders. I just put wrinkles when i feel they look too young lol
@@suan333 I like the wrinkles idea!
That's the issue with the Sims 4 in general. Toddlers feel too old, kids feel too young (look 11 and act 6), teens are basically adults, zero difference between young adults and adults except some wrinkles, then elders feel 90+ immediately.
Please don't forget to have Addison fix the broken sign over the entrance. Would hate that a broken sign stops a 5 star review. Thank You for a Awesome part 3 :)
Reggie and Kevin showing up was so freaking cute 😭 the buff himbo dads still have my heart lol
I love the Reggie and Kevin appearance in this episode. Kevin (and Reggie) telling Addison he loves them had my heart.
This pixel family is just the most wholesome, I swear. So cute!
reminder to actually make reginald drink immortality potion so he’s well… immortal. Would be nice of him to share some with kevin too
Pleeeease I love them so much I don't want them to die 😭
yes!!!
@@nico3446 I kNOWWWW😭
We need to see Kevin, king of the abs knitting FOREVER! 🤣
I love them too! I like this line of bigwallets the most.
I think you should give Addison an outfit for when they are working at the restaurant! Like a professional looking outfit or a waiter outfit so he looks like he actually belongs there :)
Yeah and also they should maybe have their hair tied up. It's luscious and beautiful, but having worked in a restaurant all I can think is 'health and safety hazard' 🙈
A work outfit for all seasons would be great, too. His hot weather outfit with the hat and Hawaiian shirt really sticks out in this setting hahaha
sometimes i lose them in the crowd lol
Dude. Carl's mod is insanely good, dang. He might as well be a literal sim guru
He's a Sim demigod
Omg Reggie and Kevin coming to the restaurant was so cute 😭
Don't forget to up the difficulty of the items in the menu as the rating of the restaurant goes up, James
Hazel's there pumping Selene for information on her oldest kids and grandchild. "You live in the area. You must know how they are. I just wanna know they're alive. They never visit!... Well except for a couple of times to eat our chickens... Their Dad was really upset about that."
Omg I forgot about that lol
ahahahaha true
I would looooove to see Addison buying the construction lot from the 0 simoleon video and turn it to a beautiful home 😁
Such a good idea!!!
YES OMG THIS 💯💯💯
Just a reminder to harvest the products from the plants you evolve, even though the plant is higher quality the harvest will be the lower quality untill if grows in fresh.
Reginald and Kevin, the immortal husbands! Would love that and for them to never age too.
Adult is enough. Don't make reginald and kevin elders yet lol. I think Reginald would be an adult perpetually because of his spellcaster immorality.
21:11 James’ play style has changed quite a bit. My jaw literally dropped when he wanted to give a second promotion, especially since the employee didn’t complain first!
It’s upsetting to see how fun Dine Out could’ve been without all the bugs that basically make it unplayable. Big up Carl
This is definitely my favorite version of the emporium, it's so beautiful!! Makes me want to buy the industrial kit just so I can download it!
Addison's Business Plan:
1.) Get massive loan from dads.
2.) Spend it all on a giant warehouse + massive renovations.
3.) Open restaurant, immediately go into bankruptcy.
4.) Sell grapes for lotto tickets.
5.) Profit.
Love this Mod by Carl! I've had so much fun playing with it and so much fun watching your series. Carl's Guides was a no-brainer for me to support via Patreon. He's done so much for the Sims community. 🥰
And Carl has so many plans of what he wants to do in the future to make dine out reloaded and his other mods better. Genius is he.
Hilary can join Addison’s household and then while they cook she can talk with the customers. Also don’t have them have kids until the infant update and maybe the new expansion pack. 😅
But eventually the kids can be the waiters and the restaurant will be all family members.
Well the new expansion pack will hopefully have new gameplay to explore so probably safe to say they'll be done by then regardless of when that comes out (unless he decides to explore that with the other branch of the family!)
Pleaseeee have Hilary start living with Addy and helping around in the restaurant!!! ♥️
Addison was "seasoning" the pot!🤣 A Burger Boys trick Doc taught him!
I was laughing so hard when Addison tried to pay for staff training but couldn‘t because the staffs are too good at their jobs 😂😂😂
This mod is great. What i imagined dine out to be. Carl did a good job.
every time i watch you play with dine out my mind goes back to the "very unsatisfied" incident lol
Wait, I don't remember this! What happened?
@@amandaconnor5874 it was in the dine out rags to riches LP, he had an emplyee who was "very satisfied" with his job, but James read it as "very UNsatisfied", and spent the whole episode trying to get this guy to like the job. in the end he had bothered the dude so much that he went down to only being "satisfied" lol. it was so funny.

I’d love to see Reginald and Kevin age up to adults and go on a nice kid free vacation! 🌴
I love how James spends multiple episodes pointing out how squished the tables are one one side of the restaurant while there is plenty of room to shift the kitchen towards the other side to even it out. 🤣
imagine trying to work and your boss keep interrupting you to tell you to get trained
I would love to see a high school dropout teen (like Addison) working in the Burger Boys Restaurant. I think that adds to the realism of fast food in America; especially if the teen couldn’t care less about the job lol
Well, these days it's mostly adults working in fast food in the USA but yes lol.
Wondering if this series could turn from Rich to Rags 😅
"Oh no... My Agatha's gone" 😂😂
*me looking at the meat wall* MOISTURIZE ME!
I could totally see you saying that if you were a business owner!! "Come back here! I'm just trying to better you!! Listen to me I'm your boss!!" Then they don't listen to you and you just chuckle nervously.
James watching you play Dine Out inspires me to want to build more restaurants, love watching.

@@freesia131 it's so funny to set a sim with a bikini for cold weather and see them all cozy 🤣
@@freesia131 yeah, I do that whenever I remember!
but having to set differently themed hot/cold weather outfits like that and then struggling with sims i.e. automonously switching to formal wear and freezing to death is so very annoying to me?
it's not a huge deal, I just feel like it could be avoided if the system got an overhaul
You don't really need to reach level 7 of the cooking skill. As per the EA website and I quote, "Reach level 5 in the Cooking Skill to unlock Gourmet Cooking!"
*fantastic lp, one of my faves!!! Don't forget to fix the broken sign over the entrance, you don't want it bringing the ambiance down!*
That meat wall is horrific. Can't they have just put some hams on a bush 😂
But then there wouldn’t be the “hidden” massaging it to make it grow joke 😂 It is fairly disturbing!
31:50. My sim got a similar message from their parent once. He was a teen and went to school only to get that visiting message from his mom while at school. And then she was happy he "visited" when he came home from school. And I was left wondering why his mom was so dang clingy lol.
I love this series so much James!! Keep up the good work, your videos are always so entertaining to watch!!
So, potential “cheat, but it’s in the game”:
If you start a club with your chef and cook gourmet food together, will their skill rise?
Same with a fitness club with the waiters?
It’s sneaky if you can’t afford training for a new restaurant 😅
"Sydney and Ava love this place" nah they are parents to a girl, they are totally trying to catch Addison slipping so they can use it against them😂
I absolutely love this series so much!
If you have a high handiness skill you should upgrade your plant walls to water themselves and stuff. Loving this😂
Hilary and Addison could get engaged and move in together then she could help with greeting and managing customers while Addison works as Chef :)
I'm a year late, but the fact that James never moved the whole kitchen over one tile to make room for those 3 seater tables is just driving me nuts! Especially since his Sims aren't using the tables on the left side of the restaurant.
😂 that’s so Kevin. Hey, Addison we miss you please come visit. *the next day* goes to addisons restaurant “ hey! Thanks for visiting. Your such a good kid” 😂
I have two Agneses and Agathas in my save too lol. They jog past my house in Willow Creek on a constant loop day and night .I think it might be a multi-generation thing glitching it out,
As a food worker I just wanna say thank you for feeling bad about your workers pay lmao wish my boss did
I think Hillary and Addison should move in together and Hillary could become the "manager" and welcome the customers, giving the personal touch and attention. And Addison would be the sous chef, maybe once their skills go up they become the full time chef.
I would love to have a Sims restaurant good enough to pay my employees an actual irl minimum wage ($16)
If you center of kitchen there will be more space for 4 the right tables. Move it like 1 or 2 to the left (front lot view)
you should have another Agatha as the other chef.
I feel Agnes would be super critical of her cousins cooking like a old withered lady version of Gordon Ramsay lol
no one:
James: awh yeah! four stars!
LOVING THIS. I wish Hillary could work with Addison 💛 love them.
:) - Was JUST looking what to watch and reloaded the frontpage. Now I know ^^

Could also be that the bills here are still payed while the hurger boys are way behind on bils
Janae as a guest here but a ghost at Burger Boys 😂
Actually the first 5 star review came from the first table on the right by the entrance at 37:26 just before Hazel but WELL DONE ADDISON!!!!👏🤩
Thank you for the video! I just downloaded Carl's mod and started exploring!!
21:04 anyone else notice how the games paused but the lady’s head w the 3 stars is still moving 🫢🫢🫢
Omg that’s creepy
He should play as some of the coworkers like a sitcom so we can see what their lives are like lol
Would it be easier to praise them and send them for training at the end of the shifts before closing, almost like an end-of-shift meeting? That way Addison doesn't have to fight for attention against the customer.
You can watch the cooking channel on the TV. You'll gain skill and fun at the same time.
Someone on the comments in the multiplayer said the food going off may be due to power being turned off at your “home” lot due to bills being unpaid.
If you have the ability... give inspirational speeches to your employees. I THINK they seem to stand around less when I do that. It also helps with their satisfaction and seems to help when they are flagging from being tired, tense, need to pee, etc.
Remember to Harvest All to force the new evolved quality
Would it be too cheaty to have Addison live in a micro home where he can skill up quickly?

I love how you're paying over four times as much in ingredient costs as you are in employee wages lol
The confusion I felt when the critic wasn’t Tim Apple…. 🤦🏻♀️
YESSS a new episode to entertain me while I am at home with the flu
I hope you have a swift recovery
Feel better soon! ❤️🩹
I think the problem with the refrigerators is a glitch. All my refrigerators in all my saves are doing the same thing even though they worked fine before.
You should remove the decorations from the tables. That seems to be a problem at times for people not sitting or eating at a table.
.... I kinda want to see a restaurant staffed entirely by Agnes clones.... that would be the shizz.
I'm really enjoying this series
That pompous celeb walk looks vain when Thorne Bailey uses it. Reginald? It fits in a non pompous way. He just owns it
James i love this series way too much 😂❤
It would be cool if Hilary moved in so her and Addison could work at the same time.
The spoiled rich kid drops out of high school, opens a restaurant and then thinks he can be the chef....
"Welcome to Kitchen Nightmares!!!"
I can see a "The Three Crumplebottom Sisters" Lets Play.
I'm locked in with this LP, excited for new episodes.
I just wonder how is he transfer data from prev owner?
I wonder as well!
i think he moved the rest of the family "out" instead so this is the main one as far as the restaurant is concerned
@@Bandajify Ohhhh yeah I thought maybe that but wasn't certain.
@@Bandajify This sound kinda make sense some how TYSM !
James you need to interact/make friends with your staff for personal touch!
I definatly think you should change Agathas station back, that way when you're not playing as 2nd chef the meals are finished closer to the dining room.
Otherwise it's wasting time and weird routing of servers to pick up food to serve. Currently they will always walk all the way in, past Agatha, just to grab food
Has anyone ever actually won that bloody lottery in one of there playthroughs i know i haven't.
Made my dad when james pronounced gnocchi „correctly“ (italian) ❤😂
I'm absolutely loving this!! It'd be good if Addison praised his employees more frequently, it keeps them satisfied without increasing costs
so excited for these series!
I paused this at 2 seconds in to answer the door. this image will now haunt me forever
i'm glad you comp'd their food
