[FIXED] DJs and Mixologists Do Not Stay on the Job

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.55.105.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? CL, CD, S, GF, IL, OR, SD, DO, V, PH, JA, SV, PPSP, SSP, CKSP, MHSP, RGSP, KSPS, BYSP, BNSP, FSP, MFPSP, MSP
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Any venue where there is a bar and/or a DJ station. If a celebrity appears, or any Sim does something that other Sims will watch (like group dance or dance battle) then the service Sims leave their posts to watch/cheer/whatever.
What happens when the bug occurs? This happens whenever something unusual is going on nearby, like a celebrity Sim appearing. It is especially irritating when the service Sim is *supporting* the action, as when they stop the music to watch a dance battle - thus ending the dance battle because there is no longer music playing.
What do you expect to see? I expect service Sims to be more persistent in staying at their jobs. Maybe if a Sim catches on fire - that would be reason to run and see what's happening, but stopping your DJ because a group dance is happening or a celebrity Sim happens by? C'mon!
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

My Sims never go to bars or clubs anymore because of this problem. It's not fun when the music stops every 30 seconds and then it takes forever for the service SIm to get back to it.

    DJs and Mixologists no longer leave their booth unattended when a Celebrity attempts to build up Fame through “Perform <scene> for Tips” or Dance Battles. “Starve your distractions; feed your focus.”

    This still happens in October 2021, at least on PS4. And that famous sim is me. I can't dance at a club because as soon as the DJ sees me dance, they put everything to a halt and rush down to dance floor to cheer for me. Then I stop, DJ goes back to their post, music starts, I start dancing again, DJ sees me dancing, DJ stops... And I'm not even a proper celebrity, I'm a measly B-lister! I don't want to even imagine what would happen if I was some real superstar.

    I don't mind DJ's going crazy over people dancing to their music, just STAY IN THE DAMN BOOTH AND DO YOUR JOB. Imagine how fast a real DJ would get the boot if they'd turn the music off every time they see a dancer they like.

    Does this still happen on PC? I would like some reference before I go * about it on the PS4 side of the HQ.

    @Irezawa Hello!  It's still happening for PC.  I just tested it again to make sure.  One thing I discovered though, the DJ kept spinning when I clicked on the DJ booth and selected dance.  It was only on the dance floor option to dance that the DJ stopped to come out and gawk at my celebrity.

    I rarely play with celebrities because I have the same issue. It's happening in my save now, celebrity sim starts to dance, everyone stops doing what they're doing to cheer them on, including the dj. It's a problem because my sim married Joaquin Le Chien and they're both in spin masters so dancing is kind of the deal....
