Re: [ARCHIVED] [CD] [GTW] Retail worker/vets don't spawn for business as customer

Still dealing with no employees showing up whenever I visit the retail shop when playing as another family. All the money this game makes and it’s such a poorly coded game.

I also have this issue. I build a retail lot and then when I visit it as a customer with a different household, I can’t buy anything as a customer and no retail workers show up and it’s frustrating. I built a jewelry store but my sim can’t buy anything in it 😭 I have no mods or cc installed at all so that’s not the problem. My vet clinics owned by my active households don’t work either. I don’t ever opt out of fame so that’s not relevant either. Please fix this issue. Thanks!

Did you guys hire someone when you played the family that owned them ?

When I visit an unowned Vet, there are Vets to care for my pets. 

When I visit an owned Vet, there are no Vets. I have 2 hired Vets.

When I visit an unowned retail business I can purchase the items for sale, but there are no employees.

When I visit an owned retail business I can't purchase the items for sale and the there are also no employees. Each retail businesses has 2 employees. 

This does not seem to be related to having Fame on or off. 

I have the same problem in my savegame now. Changing the famous settings did not change anything. 

I tried again and it worked!!! Thank you!! The sim I hired initially was one that I created (from a different household, not the active one with the retail store). This time I hired a random sim I didn’t make as the retail worker and now the store functions fine. Thank you so much for the suggestion!!

Was going to edit my previous post for clarity, but it won't let me "Edit."

So... Owned Retail shops and Vet Clinics work just dandy if I play as the owner. Employees show up. Customers/Patients arrive. No problems.

However... When I play as a customer I can't purchase any of the items for sale in an owned retail shop and no employees show up. When I visit an owned Vet clinic no Vets show up at a Vet Clinic.

I would like to purchase these flowers. Nothing happens when I click on them.

But they are for sale when I play the owner.

I use retail shops a lot in my game so my Sims can sell their creations and other of my Sims can buy them. Most of my shops have been going for several generations.

I usually have an owned and unowned Vet Clinic in my game and have had the same two since Cats and Dogs. No issues until now.

This is a copy of my regular save. I've tested both with and without mods. I don't really know when this issue started for me - I've only recently started to just play my regular game - after For Rent, I'm guessing.
