Outdoor Tables

[Shang Tsung]

I am a bit confused with the outdoor tables, they have arrows coming out of them along the length way, what does this mean? And I don't know which sides to put chairs on, or whether to put chairs on them at all. My sim won't sit down at the table and goes inside instead.

Yes, the arrows are for chairs and access. Usually if you try to place a chair at an outdoor table it will work itself out and place correctly.

Sims are notorious for not eating where you want them to eat and there isn't much that can be done about it. For example you can intricately plan a summer pool party with hot dogs and everyone will take their plate and sit on a random bed, or in front of the tv, or on the side of the pool. Technically they should sit at the closest table to where the food is but it doesn't always work out that way.
