  • I had no co workers at lab. I made another household and assigned all members to science career in order to get coworkers for my main household.

    What happens when the bug occurs? Ever since I started the scientist career on this new game I have not had coworkers, and my sim has been wearing the wrong work uniform.
    What do you expect to see? Randomly generated coworkers to ask for metals/crystals, and the proper lab coats for the scientist career.

    I have not had these issues in the past, so I think it could be due to a recent update. I’m unsure.

    When my sim first started work on this recent game, my sim showed up to her scientist job dressed as a police officer. After my first promotion, as a work around, I used the career outfit customization cheat to see if I could put a lab coat on her. I found that all of the scientist outfits were not in CAS at all.

    As for the the lack of coworkers, when after a few days my sim still worked alone, I went to “manage worlds” and jumped into some neighboring sim homes to have them join the scientist career. When my sim started work again, the sims I had join the career did indeed show up, however when I clicked them there was no option to “ask for crystal/metal.”

    What happens when the bug occurs? In the science career. It asks me to ask a co-worker for metal or crystal. There is no co-worker in sight just the Receptionist. I thought it was just a one time thing so I played for a while more and when my sim goes back to the lab there’s still no co-workers in sight.
    What do you expect to see? Co-workers needs to start spawning in to make the job more easier

    For some odd reason, any time that i select a sim to the scientist lot, no coworkers are present. I've tested this on a seperate Playstation and it happens all the same. I'm not too sure what to do and I even switched households as well.

    @Anapoixx Merged your post. Thought this was fixed on Console too ?

    Trying to find out.

    EDIT: Can't find it in the patch notes. Might still be open for console.
