Thanks for this. My Sims messing about and taking ages to even eat one pastry was driving me mad.

Thank you so much for this! I consider these mods a must have and I had been using the previous ones. A question - What do you mean by Lockout?

Thank you and everybody else who has thanked me for recreating this mod. I really appreciate the thanks.

Lockout is just a code term used by EA.

<V t="enabled" n="lock_out_time">
<U n="enabled">
<U n="interval">

Basically, 'lock_out_time' is used to stop eating and drinking from taking place whilst sims find other things to be getting on with. Personally, I don't think they need any encouragement to get distracted.

More seriously, if you play with autonomy off for the active household or the selected sim, they won't interrupt their eating or drinking unless directed to do so if the 'lockout time' is disabled. If autonomy is 'on' then sims will still be tempted to do other things even with the 'lockout time' disabled.

I just want to clarify, Sims will still stop and chat with each other as they eat, right? You mentioned MB's mod, but I don't see an update for that.

MB has been retired for over a year now (around the release of Dine Out, actually) and the mod this replaces was not hosted at Mod the Sims, but over at Sims Asylum. MB's mod and Dr. Chillgood's mod for faster eating are combined here together. I don't play with autonomy on, but you can have Sims still eat and chat at the same time (I do). All this mod does is make Sims eat more efficiently, i.e. no more staring into space when they eat or fiddling with phones and so on.
