There is a way to control the sims where they should eat?
I got a table in my dinner room and they only go to the garden to eat!!
when you want to set up a pic is not nice.
There is a way to also control where they should sit?
thanks in advance!!!!

I don't know if it helps to educate them in the long run, ever, but if I have a problem with Sims wandering off to eat outside instead of at the normal dining table, I just take away the chairs outside to force them to eat indoors. Inelegant but effective.

I used to remove the chairs from the outdoor/indoor eating area. Until the day came when a sim went outside to place a meal at the table, and then proceeded to have a fit that there weren't any chairs.

So, now I just leave all the chairs in place and move the table inside or outside before giving them the command to serve/eat. Or sometimes, I lock the doors so they can't go outside or in the dining room.

Sometimes, it seems quite impossible to train the sims to do what we want/need. Instead, we have to train ourselves to limit/restrict their actions as much as possible so they do the right thing.

Just like I also had to train myself to only buy a barbecue grill for outdoors when the sims have no cooking skills. Otherwise, they tend to burn the house down when a stove is available before their cooking skills are high enough to avoid fires. I used to get all anxious when commanding my sims to cook. Will they burn the house? Will they serve the meal in the right location?

how about my hack from 2009: Better locations for eating

makes Sims eat at closer tables instead of outside or on the picnic table on the roof.
