Coworkers are now spawning for the Science career. Yes, they missed you too.
Fixed in Patch 1.52.100
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
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.
i have all Expansion Packs but Get Famous, all Game Packs and spooky stuff and i try to repair the game, did full uninstall and reinstall, tryed it on many saves, and deleteed the Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder, i use mods but try it with no mods and that did not work too
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)
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)
I reloaded the save. The receptionist and I still have the entire place to ourselves throughout the entire workday. Someone else mentioned earlier this might be related to Get Famous not being installed. I already listed which packs I'm running.
"Language versions" aren't a thing in most modern games (The Sims 4 included). Localization is handled using looking up IDs in string tables instead of being hard-coded constants. The difference being, each language has a different table while the game logic all reference the same ID for the string they link to. Traditional games that had localization hard-coded would often have older versions shipped out for non-native translations because translation takes time and development is an ongoing process.
Hardware config is more tied in with stability than game logic. That's just the nature of hardware, it either works, or fails spectacularly.
