well, i prefer stand up because he can start cooking faster when necessary and it's better for performance reason. imagine the chef trying to find the nearest free chair in the specific service room in the specific lot from the current world. it's a really "expensive" operation.

Japanese food and Italian food??? you mean store content??

well, is not possible because most of the store recipes don't have "cooking steps" that's why he can't prepare it using appliances.

Well, I didn't mean he has to look for a chair all the time. I mean, only if I place a chair/sofa in his service room, then he can sit down. If there are no chairs or anything he can sit on, then he remains standing, it's completely up to the player if they can sit down. How about that? Is that easier?

Lol, too bad he can't make the store content food, my sims have a chef, but they still make their own Japanese and Italian food. I always wanted to have both Japanese and Italaian chefs at home.

Btw, did you make him to eat food? Because I saw him grabbing a plate and putting it on the dinning table, but somehow I think the action got canceled and he went back to his room. Also can you make him bring a serving to the table where sims sit, so they sit right away in the table and just wait for him to hand the serving? For uber lazy sims?

actually, still it's an expensive operation. the problem is the worst case (there is no chair in the service room), because it will be necessary to check all the objects of the current world to conclude that there is no Chair in the service room.

"Also can you make him bring a serving to the table where sims sit, so they sit right away in the table and just wait for him to hand the serving?" =>>>>> "Because I saw him grabbing a plate and putting it on the dinning table"

actually it's a feature. you can disable using the configuration interaction.

What a creative mod, congrats!
I have a question, what if my sims own a wood oven (for italian food) or a japanese grill (for japanese food)? I mean can he prepare those foods then? *I really hope so!*

"well, is not possible because most of the store recipes don't have "cooking steps" that's why he can't prepare it using appliances."

@B.J.T

You can request the service using the Interaction on the Telephone (not Mobile) ("Chef Service > Request Service").

I am having the same problem as well. I have almost every Ep and SP released. I click on the wall phone pictured in the info but there is no option for a chef at all.

did you mean the serve leftovers configuration? I have it on yes, so how does he serve servings to sims who are already seated?

I'm not sure anyone has asked these questions yet, so here goes:

Does this cook prepare group meals or single meals?

Does the butler still only prepare single meals, or has that been fixed?

Thanks!

yes, I have the 1.48 patch. I have several NRaas pkgs also. dont know if that is the problem. And I already tried it in a brand new game I started but still no option on the phone. Just the call for services where the butler is normally found. No chef service....

yes, and no. sorry, doesn't serve for people already seated because they are already using the table slot.

group if you ask him, otherwise it's based on how many people are hungry.
no changes for butler, he will only stop cooking when the chef is working.
