This may solve the problem of apartment dwellers serving to tables all over the property, but I don't play apartments anymore so I'm not 100% positive. Sims serve only to placeholders - invisible objects which trigger the 'wait for food' interaction.
Sims can't take free meals off empty platters.Sims won't get into the weird loop where they autonomously prepare a group meal, but aren't hungry enough to actually serve the food once cooked, leading to hours of a sim picking up the platter and putting it back down.Servers reserve one serving for themselves unless the cook is a servo or plantsim, an NPC on the job (like a butler or a nanny), or if the cook isn't hungry (Hunger is above 75%).sims at work or otherwise off the property.Served meals still have the normal 6 servings, but individual plates will not be put out for: Updated to fix a problem when serving gelatin, and to put in a missing EP check. DESCRIPTION: Sims will be more logical when deciding how many servings to lay out on the table.
