@thomasjk96Same. Had a very sad New Year's Eve party during which the caterer and mixologist partied and watched tv but did zero work. Waste of time and simoleons and very frustrating problem.
Edit: had working bar in home and also had leftovers in fridge.
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 is your current game version number? 1.65.70.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Host an event and hire a caterer
What happens when the bug occurs? The caterer and the mixologist act as if they're guests and socialize at social events and do not do the actions they are supposed to do.
What do you expect to see? The caterers and mixologists should not act as if they're guests and if this is a "feature" of "good" and "bad" hired workers then there needs to be a way for the party host to tell them to get back to work.
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
The caterer gets drinks from the bar (when the mixologists actually works) and chats with guests and does not cook the required food or cake for the party. It is making it nearly impossible to meet the extremely simple requirements of a birthday party (i.e., make a toast when no drinks can be ordered, or blow out the candles on the cake when the caterer has been there for HOURS and hasn't made a cake.)
