Where Does My Fork Go? Dining Etiquette for Sims Dorian Wallace
		Many Sims worry about the details of eating.  Which way do you pass the bread, left or right? Well since Sims don’t eat bread, nor pass food, the question is null and void.  However, there are many aspects of dining that do require simple etiquette.           When eating at home, make sure there are plenty of chairs for each visitor, visitors hate to stand and eat if everyone else is sitting down.   The chairs should be easy to access as the meal is not as enjoyable if one spends ten minutes trying to get to the chair and finally sits down as everyone else is leaving.  Also, make sure that there is proper lighting in the room, you don’t want to grab what you think is the leg of lamb and leave with a slap from a jealous lover.  The most important thing is to leave a little food on the plate, it’s an old Simmish tradition so that the flies may have a little food and grace the house with their presence.           If you are the host, you and your family should clean up after dinner, however if your guest is nice and insists on washing their own plate, allow them to.  After the meal, allow the guest use of the restroom first, so that they’re in good spirits for the remainder of the time spent in your home.  Now with pets in the family, it is very important that pets are locked in another room during the meal to avoid unnecessary begging.           When eating downtown, go to the restaurant as soon as you arrive. This ensures that the wait time is minimum as it's very embarrassing to show up and have to wait an extended period of time for a table, leaving a very bad impression on your date. When your food arrives, proper dining etiquette requires you to eat at a moderate pace so that you have time to talk. It is bad dining etiquette if you gobble down your food and you spend the rest of the time watching your date eat.           If you follow those simple hints, guests will always want to eat with you and your family.
