Re: Premade sims losing their occupation when played

Very useful information thank you. Do you know codes for DJ, mixologist and entertainer? I have tried giving certain NPC these roles but I usually struggle and they do not show up. I don't see any codes for these in the webpage provided. Thank you.

    DJ

    I think I read that you need to add the DJ skill in order to make the cheats work; a DJ Headliner needs max DJ skill, regular DJ needs DJ skill 7-9. This should work.

    In short, I haven't figured out how to assign a bartender or entertainer yet... 🤔 But if you want to read what I've tried while trying to figure out while they won't spawn, you can read below, haha 😳

    Bartender

    careers.add_career career_Adult_NPC_Bartender

    For the Bartender, I can only find this cheat, which I assume you've already tried. There's no trait attached to this NPC. I've had problems with this NPC as well.

    I've tried just the cheat, the cheat and mixology skill, etc., but it seems like the game wants to assign the role to all unemployed sims first. I now tried adding the cheat with Sim ID, and it didn't work either. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that bartenders have three shifts that they can work? You might try and note the "work time" that they get assigned when you apply the cheat, and travel to the bar where you want them to work, I haven't tried it myself though. But, I know something that kind of works, if you have the motivation... In my savegame, every sim is employed and/or marked as played. If I add a sim, I can travel to the lot were I know there's a NPC-role missing, and the only one available for the job will be the sim I just added.

    Entertainer

    careers.add_career career_Adult_Entertainer

    Kind of the same as the bartender, but it seems the game assigns an Entertainer depending on the skills that they have. If there's a piano, a sim with high piano skill will show up, a guitar spawns a high guitar skill sim etc. No new sims were spawned to fill these roles in my game, it only used premade sims. But I've only been able to hire entertainers as my game doesn't seem to want to spawn entertainers automatically at the moment, and I need them to spawn to figure out if they have hidden traits.

    I hope that the DJ cheat works out at least 🙂 Good luck!
