[FIXED] Can't hire existing NPCs as Entertainer/Mixologist
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 expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Host a social event and try to hire an existing NPC as Entrainer. There are none available although there are plenty of Sims that would fulfill the requirements.
What happens when the bug occurs? I can only select a random new NPC
What do you expect to see? Option to invite NPCs that already have the requirements instead of the game having to create a new one.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Around Dec 2016. Used to work fine before.
There's an issue when planning a social event where there's no Sims for hire showing up under Hire Entertainer and Hire Mixologist. No townies or played Sims pictures show up, just the 'hire this role' option.
Hiring a Caterer, hosts, and invited guests are all working as should.
- Sims that you know that are mixologists, caterers, or entertainers will now be available to hire for Social Events your Sim chooses to host.
Fixed in Patch 1.42.30
