    The caterer appeared just fine

    Did you also test this on a new game (started after the patch) ?

    Okay, after creating a whole new gamefolder and starting absolutely new it worked. Sorry.

    Does it now work in your existing game ? Without adding anything else back ?

    The first party i did in the new game was a wedding party, every three helpers arrived just fine...

    BUT after playing longer in this family (10 Sims days) the "Hausparty" i arranged was missing the caterer the whole time and the mixer appeared after half of the party. I´m going to check on  a birthday party, as soon as i play again (probably tuesday)

    edit: i always do parties with the maximum numbers of guests and no, i didn`t add anything back. I´m playing on a totally new folder

    So it's on/off ?

    Maybe it's too many Sims for the apartment ?

    Can you test if they reproducibly appear if you invite fewer guests ?

    Did you delete your olds save game or do you still have the issue there all the time ?

    So now i tried another birthday party on the total new game and this time mixer and entertainer were coming just fine but caterer was missing the whole party long. This time it was only 6 guests and three played sims in the appartement.

    OK. I guess I'll add this for now

    Could you test if this is limited to apartments ?

    EDIT: Added

    Did yesterday's patch change anything for you ? If not, would you be willing to share your save ?
