Carls’ Dine Out Reloaded Ultimate Sims 4 Restaurant Mod
It is NO secret that Dine Out is one of… the most broken Sims 4 game pack ever. 😅 And there were so many missed opportunities when EA came out with it!
Introducing… the mod that fixes it all: Carl’s Dine Out Reloaded!
Honestly, I hardly know where to begin with this mod! If you only download one sims 4 restaurant mod, it needs to be this one.
First and foremost, this mod fixes SO MANY bugs that come up in sims 4 restaurants!
You can completely customize your restaurants and every single setting. I highly recommend watching James Turner’s video embedded above—he covers the features really well!
You can have guests seat themselves, you can play as the chef (or the waiter), change how quickly guests eat, have guests pick up their own food, and sooo much more! In one of the newer updates, your sims can order at the counter, so you can even run a fast-casual/fast food style restaurant!
I love SatchOnSims ridiculous overview of the fast food update 😆 Check it out below!
This mod also adds an extra functionality with growing your own produce! It makes your restaurant cheaper to run, and your food will be higher quality. Yes! That means you can run your very own farm-to-table restaurant. Carl has even recently add a delivery order system. Talk about realistic!
This mod… genuinely blows me away! It is so in-depth, and Carl keeps releasing updates and taking in players’ feedback. Even writing this up, I can’t wait to jump in game and work on my sims restaurants now! lol.
This mod genuinely fixes sims 4 dine out, and it is an absolute must-have, non-negotiable sims 4 restaurant mod!
Additional Sims 4 Restaurant Mods
While Carl’s Dine Out Reloaded mod is the best of the BEST of sims 4 restaurant mods, I included a few others as well! These are smaller mods, but still just as great! 🙂
Faster Cooking Sims 4 Restaurant Mods
This is a small mod that makes chefs cook faster in restaurants! This is great if you’re running your own restaurant, but also great for when you’re visiting them!
No more waiting 6 hours for dinner! 😆
Eating Tweaks Sims 4 Restaurant Mods
This is a small mod that tweaks the eating order when sims visit a restaurant. Now, they will finish their food first, then drink their beverage—instead of their drink slowing down their eating pace!
Earn Money Off Lot Sims 4 Restaurant Mods
If your sim owns a restaurant, and you want to open it without being on the property, this mod is for you! It adjusts the amount of money made when you’re off the lot, so it’s more equal to what you make when you’re there running it.
I really love this adjustment—running a restaurant every day can be exhausting, especially when you have other sims to look over. But I always hated how it hardly made any money!
Don’t Pay The Bill When You’re Invited Sims 4 Restaurant Mod
Have your sims ever been invited out to dinner by a friend? And then got stuck with the bill? 😆 I have always HATED that! Talk about rude.
This small restaurant mod fixes that for you! Now your sim will be treated to the meal they were invited to—as they should be. 🙂
Hire Specific Sims at Restaurants Mod
With this restaurant mod, you can now hire specific sims to work for you—including sims in your own family! It always bothered me that I couldn’t have a family-run business, so I love this small tweak. It makes such a big impact on the gameplay and storytelling ability.
Hired Employees Earn Money Sims 4 Restaurant Mod
Another small quality-of-life restaurant mod! This mod makes it so the hired sims actually get paid for the work (crazy concept, right?). So if you hire your sim’s best friend to be a waiter, when you go into their household, they will have adequate funds for their work. 🙌
Restaurant Host Career Mod (Non-Active)
If you’ve ever wanted your sim to work in a restaurant without having to own it, this mod is for you! This is a rabbit-hole job for your sim to be a restaurant host.

I use the Romantic Aura on my fancy restaurants for date nights all the time! This mod increases the effect of the Romantic Aura lot trait and heightens that date night experience!
More Menu Options Sims 4 Restaurant Mods (up to 50 or 100 items!)
This is a must-have sims 4 restaurant mod if you love running them in the sims! In the game, you’re capped at 30 items for your menu. This mod let’s you choose between 50 or 100 items on your menus, so you can truly customize the dining experience.
Host Wedding Events in Restaurants Mod
If you have My Wedding Stories, you may have been confused when you realized you couldn’t host wedding events, like engagement parties, at restaurants! This mod fixes that. Your sim can now host their engagement dinner, or even their wedding reception, at a restaurant! 🙂
Fast Food Counter Sims 4 Restaurant Mod
This fast food counter is a great pseudo-restaurant! It functions like the Discovery University food counter, so you can place it on any kind of lot and hire a vendor. LittleBowBub even included custom (and freaking beautifully detailed) fast food for this mod!
Drink Dispenser Machine Sims 4 Restaurant Mod
This is a functional drink dispenser, with super cute custom drinks! This would be a great addition to add to your fast-food restaurants, or on any other kind of community lot so your sim can grab a tasty treat!

More Drinks For Kids Sims 4 Dine Out Mod
This is a simple sims 4 restaurant mod that unlocks additional drink options for the kiddos! Now they can order things like tea, fizzy drinks, and more!
Food & Drink Supplier Sims 4 Restaurant Mod
This is such a cool mod that operates on the other side of restaurants—as a supplier! Your sim can now sell their produce, the fish they catch, wedding cakes they make, and more to restaurants and food vendors!
I love creative new ways to make money in the sims, and this mod is genius!
