[BY DESIGN] [GTW] Retail Employees Available For Hire Are Always The Same

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.62.67.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a retail shop, fire one of your employees, try to hire someone to the vacant job position. You will see your just fired employee and a couple of other sims, but don't hire anyone. A few days later try to see if the sims available for hire are different ones. They are not.
What happens when the bug occurs? The available sims for hire are always the same ones. They don't change over time despite the fact that there are lots of unemployed sims in the game.
What do you expect to see? In different days we would find different sims available for hire.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

EDIT by Crinrict: Adjusted Tag

  • This sounds by design to me, I think it has always worked this way. If you suspect it worked differently at some point then we can investigate it as a bug but otherwise I think it's feedback. Like Crin said, it only pulls from NPCs who have the appropriate skills. And it'd likely be a performance concern if the game kept generating new Sims to fulfill these roles when there's existing Sims that can already do so.

    @DolphinSSA The part time thing is different from the full time stuff, but they have to be unemployed to show up in the list. If they are employed they won't show up for the get to work retail stuff which is full time retail.

    I just checked my game and as said, don't know about played households but I def have other housed Sims show up.

    At least two of the ones shown in the attached pic are housed.
