I am trying to play The Sims 4 Dine Out! (Part 1)

In this let's play we are going to attempt to run a restaurant and achieve a 5 star rating, with some challenges and struggles along the way!

I think the restaurant should be named "Bigger Wallets"

LMAO

[@shellyahn883]

Are they non slip slippers?

[@maggiesays7827]

@@shellyahn883 I think he bought them from Bombas. They're really comfortable an non slip. I can understand why he wears them all the time.😂

[@G4m3rKoneko_Keori]

Something i learnt from 20 yrs of retail; Never say sorry for the wait. Always say thank you for your patience. It is a more positive way of apologising especially if its not ur fault its busy. Also if you say sorry for the wait people think 'yes i was waiting' and feel they have the right to be annoyed but saying thank you for your patience people think 'yeah im patient.' And feel they are the bigger person and wont get annoyed.

There's this restaurant near me called Culinary Dropout, and I feel like something similar would suit Addison's restaurant. Maybe like Silver Spoon Dropout? It references that Addison has grown up privileged (raised with a silver spoon growing up), the spoon literally referencing food, and dropout referencing that Addison dropped out of high school.

[@kasia-m-r]

Great idea!

[@86naiky]

Yes!

[@kathaai]

i think silver spoon is good without the drop out

[@AriaLouisa]

@@kathaaiAgreed

lol no wait cuz if you’re talking about ATX in the domain then it does give Culinary vibes !

[@dewberrystar]

Still in love with the rewamped Bigwallet Emporium, it looks so chic yet cozy. Also Addison is looking muuuch better now 😂

[@sansa357]

If you want them to wear a specific uniform you should get rid of the others or even try putting the one you want in the first slot. I usually just delete the others so I know that they won't be wearing anything else or that it will reset to the preset uniform. You're right, Carl's new mod is a game saver and makes it so much more fun! Thank the heavens for Carl and his mods!!

[@cecilierasmussen7442]

Addison insisted the front door to the restaurant be left open at all times for the 'aesthetic'. So Reginal had to figure out a magic solution to theft and dust. The things he does for his kids.

[@mommamode]

If you need a way to “remove” some of the tables because it’s too much you can always move objects the chairs scooted into the tables a bit to make them unusable but still there.

[@breannarg]

That’s a great suggestion

[@ElyseSwoverland]

I think a great name for the restaurant would be Lady's. It would be a great nod to the history of the building and his family!

[@findingpetey]

i love this name!!! 🥺💕🙏

I had the idea for Lady B's!

[@ElyseSwoverland]

JAMES!!! I've been watching you since AT LEAST end of 2017. I was in preparatory school to get into university. Today marks the last day me and my classmates have to submit our main (and final) research paper to get our undergrad degree in Biomedicine. So I'm feeling pretty nostalgic, lol. Thank you so much for all the years and memories!!! Keep being awesome ❤️

[@capedkat]

Is it too early to congratulate you on getting that degree? ☺If so, I hope you're having a wonderfull day after your final task. Which is an accomplishment to be proud of, because you got there! 🥳🥳🥳

[@TheAshesvondust]

Well done and congrats :)

[@irishduchess7577]

Adding to the congratulations and wishing you a fulfilling career ahead! 🎉

[@4moonlite]

What a great achievement! Congratulations stranger. ❤

[@lixyororke]

I think it might be a cool idea to try and have Addison "pay back" their dads for the restaurant a little. Like, maybe they have to give them a certain amount of their profits or like a "rent" for them buying it for them. It would keep it challenging if it gets too easy!

[@kstar1489]

Maybe it was just a gift, they are supposed to be a bit “spoiled”

[@HimeeIvy]

I’ve been loving the burger boys series, so I’m excited to watch this too!

§20,000 HYPE!

[@hayleylaurenb]

idea for the mezzanine: maybe make a little lounge area for open mic nights. you could add some sofas and a stage area -- it would give addison a chance to show off their guitar skills

[@IGDuarte]

Nice idea!

[@AriaLouisa]

Or he could collab with Breanne with art or photography :)

[@JennySantYT]

I like Addison's new look. And the restaurant looks really good! You did a great job!

[@tadghmurphy2671]

It'd be cool if Addison performed with their guitar during meals for ambiance .

[@jasmitorkkel]

ahaha seems like something they would do

[@ElfPunkk]

I think an area for live music would fit well where the big table was

[@vniivdiivcii]

They should play from the 2nd floor. llol 📣 "HEY GUYS LISTEN TO ME PLAY MY GUITAR"

[@paiget6200]

All the Agathas, is like the job application version of coming back to the free samples table with a mustache, then glasses, then both 😂

[@elle1967]

We should hire Rhys!! Also, we could hire Kento and have an unfortunate grease fire accident 👀

[@elitemonica]

A name idea I had was “Bigwallet Eattorium” because it sounds like the original name of the place “Bigwallet Emporium”. Kind of a throwback to when Lady built and ran the place

[@SignificantUnicorn]

Maybe Bigwallet Cafeteria?

[@gulplastgaffel]

Oh, I like that! I was thinking Lady's Lunch, or Lunchladys 😂

Addison after doing literally one(1) task: aight, that's enough hard work for today, time to slip into something comfortable and get some sleep! I like to imagine Burger Boys somewhere out there being like: “those kids have it so easy 🤬 back in OUR days.....”

[@hannah8911]

“I want them to think I’m rich!!” 5 min later.. Addison walking around in pajamas and bunny slippers

[@caroldefreese5499]

This series is going to be so much fun to watch: The build is amazing, the restaurant challenge is creative, your enthusiasm is delightful, and Carl's mod makes Dine Out fun instead of frustrating.

[@Jayk-kz7sh]

So excited for the dine out spin off! This suggestion isn’t related to the challenges with the current lets play, but as soon as you unlock the ability to change ingredient quality I think you should unlock pufferfish nigiri temporarily on the menu. That way you can set the quality to cheap and Reginald can finally “take care” of the inappropriate teacher Kenta Hara once and for all 😆

[@DoveJS]

Kenta would go to the high school anyway if James decided to follow Brianne to class, ghost doctors still work in the hospital for example, and he'll definitely be haunting Addison at the restaurant, so Kenta won't automatically go away if he's dead. Also, you can't guarantee Kenta would be the one to die, it could be an unrelated innocent sim lol.

[@Gerewolf]

The Agatha’s made me think of “it was Agatha all along” 😂

[@oshizu5576]

Your excitement about playing Addison as a restaurant owner is contagious. Bravo to you, James, for attempting this with only Addison as the controllable sim! Sweet restaurant!

[@mtx0724]

Not me screaming "THE QUICHES, JAMES" when looking for 3 star brunch items to add to the menu

[@Kate-OTomato]

I've been bingeing the full Bigwallet series playlist for months and I just got to this one today. I'm so upset that I have none left yet!

[@zoet.]

The way James said "it's salad" when looking at the menu was 100% corn kid vibes

[@irishduchess7577]

Great first episode! I know the goal is 5 stars, but would like to add a suggestion. With the incredible difference Carl’s mod makes for DO, what if Addison purchases the abandoned, broken down restaurants previously owned by his ancestors and refurbishes them? I’m sure I’m not the only one who would love to see those original builds reach their full potential between building updates in Sims 4 and the mighty Carl saving DO. Have to also say again this has become my favorite of your builds-the combo of greenery with the industrial style is stunning and welcoming! There’s just something about the vibe this place has! So happy all the roof shingles stayed as is from the livestream, too!

[@alphabetamale616]

So funny to watch James wonder why the restaurant isn't functioning when the notification said the restaurant isn't functional. There's a lot to look after when running a business!

[@lisita15]

You look like you are having so much fun!!!!! I'm glad you decided to do this "spin-off" let's play. This mod that Carl does makes me want to play and have my own restaurant. 🙂Thanks James for keeping the content going!!!!

[@Krazykira24]

@16:19 Agatha is stirring her spoon directly into the heating element of the stove. Agatha lives dangerously.

[@the_nikster1]

I'm loving this! also, you can add Spinach Frittata and Spinach and Mushroom Quiche for main courses; those are pretty brunchy items. ❤

[@MsVanessaSt]

I was thinking this too, yelling at my screen “add the quiche!!”

[@Bethgael]

The Addaurant. It sounds like the sort of portmanteau a teenager who thinks it's a great idea to drop out of high school because daddy has money would come up with. Maybe he changes it to something more sensible when he's older, or after it fails. "Dude, see, it's not just my name and restaurant, it's also, like, you will be ADDicted to my food!"

[@TheOG-GG]

New mission! Hire as many Agathas as the game generates. A new Agatha each star rating! Definitely need music in the restaurant too! You can set the game to only play copyright-free music if you are worried about that.

[@MrsDizarky]

Super loving this series already! The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and the idea of leaning into Addison being spoiled and not really getting the responsibility of running the restaurant and all the little extra challenges are a fun twist. On a side note, I super appreciate you zooming in on the UI. Some of the options in the Dine Out section are pretty small, especially on mobile, so it's nice to have them enlarged. It's also fun to look closer at the food menu lol

[@melissawhitman90]

I absolutely love having Agatha as the chef, especially love that she's got her hat on 😄

[@Mrs.Ragnvindr]

YES ITS FINALLY HERE!!! Oh I didn't expect it'll be a spinoff but I guess it make sense so we can focus on Addison

[@krystalmassey1635]

The four Agathas for hire had me dying laughing. The clone bug is such a sims thing to have that I can't even be mad 😂😂😂

[@izzie9066]

This is such a nostalgia for me. To this day Dine Out is my favourite Bigwallet series, maybe ever more favourite then the original. Good to see Addison going in their (many many times) great grandma footsteps.

[@carolinacuchacovich]

Thanks to Carl's mod now I had a restaurant in every word and most of my families had restaurant lol 🤣

[@ayou2470]

I love Carl's Mod! In the future, I'd love to see customers use the open fridge to get homemade desserts when offered "offer free dessert". That way the owner can raise their baking skill. Also, this could apply to "offer free drink". Have the barista coffee maker or bar and the customer could get their free drink (or the staff can serve them). There's so much potential for this mod. I'm going to get it today.

[@SofiaGonzalez-hh1nr]

I think “The Bigwallet Bistro” would go really nicely with the style of the cafe 🥰😅

[@MsVanessaSt]

I also like the idea of Addison goofing off all the time, part of their arrogance. They’re always taking personal calls, their friends and gf are always coming over to hang out and get free food, and they use their restaurant as their personal concert venue with guitar solos 😂

[@gisela_oliveira]

once Addison age up to an adult, they should move out and live in the restorant, especially so you can actually use the household funds separated

[@mauratyson9580]

I don't think you can move a sim into a business lot, but there's probably a mod somewhere for that

Addison reminds me of a guy I went to school with. His dad bought him a record store after graduation. (He was a burnout and failed his first semester of college.) Then his dad got him a limo w/ driver after a series of drunken car accidents. I like to think Addison was a lot like my old classmate but has to take a cab to work.😉

[@enduringbird]

This was really fun. I'm glad you make content you enjoy and then it comes through as enjoyable for us.

Brunch at Addison's (like Breakfast at Tiffany's.) 🤣😉

[@amelia-cl8wl]

I am glad you're also doing this on KZbin as a side series, not just twitch!! Both still very interesting

[@bullanie]

This build is one of the best I've ever seen, you've really outdone yourself!

[@ngnrdgrl]

Quiche is a brunch food! Lucky Addison. Drops out of school and dad buys him a fancy restaurant. Such a spoiled kiddo.

[@ecilyz]

i’ve been waiting for this!!! so excited for the new series

[@jpeg42069]

I’m screaming over the fact that simply playing Dine Out is a challenge in and of itself 💀💀💀

[@charitycodes]

Agatha's hat is part of her hairstyle. Sims with hairstyles that have a head covering cannot wear any other hats. The game doesn't allow the separate hat to show up. I was designing a sim in CAS with a hat like that and thought I'd use a beanie to cover it up for the athletic outfit, but nope. Their fancy hat still showed and they weren't wearing the beanie. I had to change the hairstyle for that outfit.

[@kathrynnithsdale2987]

I think the restaurant should just be called “Lady’s” as a tribute to the main gal herself ❤

[@goldfish_gamer4991]

You mean we can make our own bed and breakfast fantasy come true !

[@delaneymilbradt8123]

The cupcake room is giving me flashbacks from working in a ramen shop where we made our noodles in a glass room in the dining room 😖

[@katbairwell]

Don't forget to repair the fridge, and rummage for parts, you might get close to opening!

[@sarahpatterson5979]

I feel like you should add a busking/performance area so Addison can play guitar for the customers. Like, they opened this restaurant in part so they could have a captive audience for their music career bc they're such a nepo baby they aren't willing to pay their dues at all and just wants people who have to listen to them play their original music lol.

[@SheBeast-OG]

Omg can you imagine being one of the full on adults working in this place? Lol, your boss is some rich teen dropout who dad bought them a massive amazing restaurant and they just sleep and wander around in their jammies. I would be so mad lol.

I watched the build of this restaurant and loved it but seeing it in action makes me love it even more! Honestly one of the best I’ve seen in sims. Cant wait to dload it!

[@auxaneb5241]

I’m actually watching the Dine out LP from year’s ago, can’t wait to see how much it changed with the mod

[@SignificantUnicorn]

The restaurant is so beautiful! I'm so excited to follow along with this series and Addison's growth as a sim. I think it would be pretty spicy if he had Hillary over late for a date after closing and maybe even spend the night! I don't remember if teens can spend the night or not... but maybe as young adults?

[@cookiekitty222]

The restaurant space is GORGEOUS! Reminds me of these farm-to-table restaurants that are here in the States.

[@AngelicaNyqvist]

I am embarrassingly intrigued by this! 👀

[@melaniev9446]

Carrot cupcakes are amazing! Honestly until yesterday thanks to a TikTok I wasn't aware it's not a common dessert (well, carrot cake, but cupcakes are the same just smaller versions). It's amazingly good and a favourite in many households where I live.

[@laurendubosky]

I accidentally fell asleep while watching this (side effect of watching this in bed) and started dreaming that I was running a restaurant with James since the video was still playing. I woke up suddenly and realized that no, sticking strawberries and basil literally on the wall is not good decor. 🤣 Edit: 19:17 just realized he planted strawberries and basil in the wall planters which is where that came into play in my dream 😂😂😂😂

[@laniedragon]

I think blackberries are the worst of his choices, lol. What if the guests get stuck in the thorns?

[@markabele8794]

I love this new restaurant. I am so excited about this LP, too. Carl's Dine Out mod looks impressive.

[@DoveJS]

Maybe Addison could go busking around San Myshuno for tips? But they can only go to a Festival if they get invited by someone else and then they have to do everything the festival requires which may or may not get them enough money to run and upgrade the restaurant! ALSO if they want more produce, then they have to harvest it wild, get it from a festival or fishing, or buy it from the stall Agatha and Agnes run in Henford-on-Bagley because that was a condition Agatha gave if she became a cook in the restaurant (lol ignoring the fact there are multiple Agathas... I just thought this might be fun so that it doesn't get too easy to get better ingredients to sell or use for meals.) I realize you're already doing some of that in Burger Boys but it'd be funny to see Addison traveling to haggle with Agatha or Agnes or go foraging and if you want, you can kinda fake an invite with the family, maybe Reginald invites his mom, his aunt, his husband, and both kids, or have Hillary invite dear Addy out and leave Addison as an NPC Sim for a bit but then Addison has to actually spend time with these people and socialize and you have to figure out how to get what you need (unless it glitches out lol.) IDK just trying to come up with some extra rules for the sake of it! 😂😉☺

[@aeli999]

So much fun. Please fix the fridge though. Every time someone started to fix it autonomously, they'd get distracted and go off to do something else. 😂

[@EmiSuess]

Where I live there's a restaurant in an old historic machine shed. So it's called The Machine Shed. Addison's restaurant is also an old converted factory with machinery in it, so it could be the Bigwallet Machine Shed

[@Vexic929]

To stop the outfits from changing in Dine Out I always just delete the other options, it doesn't get rid of them for other restaurants just the one you own at the time so it's the perfect solution really lol

[@llera_navi]

[@Shiloh.with.a.chance]

I love the build, especially the central kitchen

[@bittersweetsims]

I like the name "Emporium Cafe" or Emporium Bistro" for the restaurant. Also, I think we need a sidequest where Addison tries to learn the recipe for Pufferfish Nigiri and "accidentally" makes it poor quality and serves it to Kenta at his restaurant. It's the closest you can get to poisoning food in TS4 and I think it would be fun.

[@angelikasiwik3044]

James, don't forget to transfer the money Addison made from selling harvestables! Might be a good idea to cheat household funds to $0 whenever you're playing this series and add it back whenever you switch over, just so that you don't accidentally spend it. Also would be funny to see Addison ask their dad for more money whenever they are losing money

[@danitho]

James skipping over Hina who was the best candidate for no reason just hurt to much, it was too relatable 🤣🤣

[@foreverAGandmore]

I still stand by my idea that Kenta should be fed bad pufferfish from Addison's restaurant.

[@AnnetteBestwick]

Yeah good start, looking forward to see how it progresses. Send Addison fishing to make the money or have him play the guitar in the afternoons for tips to put back into the cafe funds

[@irishduchess7577]

The mod allows fishing to contribute to the meals, too. He can fish for fresh fish once the cafe has some financial cushion!

[@cookiekitty222]

oh gosh! to see Addison trying to figure out his life and break away from the family to do his own thing is pretty sweet! Hoping the family comes in to see how he’s doing AND for Breanne to admire her brother enough to invite all her friends there. ❤❤❤

Oasis or Industrial Oasis from Oasis Springs and all the greenery, Brunch Reloaded (or Cafe Reloaded, Dining Out Reloaded) from Marie Duran’s suggestion of Dine Out Reloaded to honor Carl, and a few people said Lunch Lady’s and Lady B.’s which are awesome nods to the OG.
