There was another thread in tech here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/Sims-4-Scientist-career-empty/td-p/7175504
The user there solved the issue by repairing the game
If that doesn't help, would you guys be willing to share your saves ?
Could you also all start a new save (no mods/cc) and check if it works there for testing purposes
- SDPhantomGamer7 years agoSeasoned ScoutI've been having this problem as well. Repaired game, wiped the settings folder located at "Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4", and started new saves. Issue still persists.
I've tested this several times and my findings vary between no coworkers spawning to only the receptionist showing up. I did experience one time where a single lab technician spawned along with the receptionist, but it reverted to returning the same results as before in the following tests.
Save file here: (This one has the receptionist and no lab technicians)

I was curious and started a new vanilla save to test this. Just arrived at the science lab and everybody is there (4 scientists and the receptionist).
The OP doesn't have Get Famous, what about the others? Perhaps that makes a difference.
- SDPhantomGamer7 years agoSeasoned ScoutI only have Get To Work, Get Together, Vampires, Perfect Patio Stuff, and Spooky Stuff.

Hello, I justed tested your save. Right after loading the science lab, only your Sim and the receptionist where there, so I definitely see the problem. But only 5 seconds later the 4 other co-workers spawned in front of the building and started to work (see attached screenshot). As many posters here don't use mods/CC and have repaired their games and I play with all packs, the problem may be caused by:
- a certain pack not installed (GF?)
- certain language versions (I play in German)
- a certain hardware configuration
I think the EA team should test this.

Thank you @alanmichael1 for testing the save. Really appreciate it.
Any info on this would be great: I also tested this in a old save of mine and had no issues.
So adding to the questions asked above (relisting)
- Which packs do you have (please list them all) ?
- Does this only happen on old saves or also if you start a new one ?
- Did you ever have any custom content or mods ?
- What language do you play in ?
- Did you try with just one Sim or multiple ? Also multiple households ?
I tested this issue yesterday: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/TO-TEST-GF-No-employee-at-the-stylist-station-in-an-actor-career/m-p/7186795#M77119 which is a bit similar and I've also seen reports where people say all actors arrived and then immediately left. I wasn't able to duplicate either as the employees spawned immediately when I came back.
(For those of you who have already answered these questions, could you edit your posts and add answers to the others so we have all info in one post per user. Thanks)
