I have a residential lot that uses the restaurant booth in the dining areas. However the sims do not seem to have any ability to sit at the two person booth (cant click on it, there are not options), and on the four person booth they will only sit on the outer half that doesnt touch the wall. Are booths completely unusable unless on a community lot, or perhaps there is some sort of hack/cheat for residential use?

I have noticed that too with a table that has two booth seats each side, and one end against the wall. And I have only noticed it since installing AL. If there are two sims already in the outer seats, the third sim takes their dinner, slides into what looks like a perfectly good space next to the wall, and then proceeds to slide under the table to the opposite seat over and over again until one of the others has finished eating - then they nip into the vacated space and eat their meal there, in a normal way.

I haven't tried making a two-seat booth. Do you mean with the two seats facing each other?

Yes Inge, its single booths that face one another and they sit with one side against the wall. Sims absolutely will not sit in it. In the other booth, with two booths on each side facing one another Im experiencing the same sitatuion you describe. I only have Uni/NL/OFB installed.

I can't understand why the booth seat is available for use on Resi lots if it doesn't work properly. I thought it might be an issue with my game specifically, but it seems to be just another design flaw. Any ideas if this is fixable?

I feel sure it won't be anything to do with the type of lot you are on. Are you sure you have definitely tried exactly the same layout with community lots?

Yes, I have tested the community restaurant and experienced no problems with the booth. The issue seems to be on the residential lot only.

How odd! I shall have to look at the code sometime.
