    Random non Spellcaster Sims no longer will show up as being Sages.
    ○ Impostors have been dealt with. Thank you for your cooperation.
    ○ That’s probably who I was playing chess against.

    Fixed in Patch 1.59.73

    Don't know if this fixes already affected sages.

@DMDragonCT I'm wondering if a lot of these cases are actually caused by mods, because my sages in game are still sages all the time and unemployed.

The game's default tuning is to use unimportant unemployed sims for roles like baristas, and that file has explicit exclusions for sages - it should not pick them.

So if your sage becomes a barista, there's got to be something overriding the default tuning.

@simvasion I play completely vanilla, I haven’t had any mods or CC installed ever.

I don’t think that the default tuning is that only unimportant sims are used for townie jobs, it only has to do with if the sim is employed or not. The sages aren’t employed.

    @SqueamishNerdthe tuning file is called "unimportant_nocareer". It specifically only looks for unplayed non employed sims.

    It has this section that specifically bans all three sage types from being included:

         <V t="trait">
          <U n="trait">
            <T n="invert_score">True</T>
            <T n="trait">212849<!--trait_MagicSage_Mischief--></T>
          </U>
        </V>
        <V t="trait">
          <U n="trait">
            <T n="invert_score">True</T>
            <T n="trait">212850<!--trait_MagicSage_Practical--></T>
          </U>
        </V>
        <V t="trait">
          <U n="trait">
            <T n="invert_score">True</T>
            <T n="trait">212851<!--trait_MagicSage_Untamed--></T>
          </U>
        </V>

    And that also reappears in the filter file for baristas, so even if somehow one was selected as a valid employment candidate, the game is also saying "no sages allowed" if you're a barista too.

    @simvasion Oh, that’s interesting. I wonder why it doesn’t work, since it obviously doesn’t work for a bunch of people.

    I don’t recognise this language, so I don’t understand all of it. For example I don’t understand why T u is used for both “invert_score” and for “trait”. In the languages I’m a bit familiar with, this would be to give T u one value and then change it to another value. But I guess this whole code fragment means that the higher the trait score the less likely it is that they will get a job. Though that would mean that it’s not impossible that they get jobs, it’s just unlikely depending on how many townies there are who are already employed.
