Re: [ARCHIVED] Hired sims don't appear

A lot of NPCs have died and now no entertainers or caterers show up to a planned party when I hire them. Even when I click on the stove or piano to HIRE, I get a notification saying someone is on the way but no one shows up. Do I have to sit and spend time creating new sims, getting them jobs, and leveling up their careers before they'll come to my main family's parties? Isn't the game suppose to create jobs for these NPCs? I run into a ton of NPCs that are "Unemployed".

    There are no mods. The entire mod folder was deleted about 200 saves ago

    Could you try  a new save for testing purposes to see if it's save game related or a general issue

    I have the same problem! I'm in my 4th generation of sims. So the original caterers, musicians are long gone. I can't hire new caterer, mixologist and musician for my party. I don't have any mods or anything. I even tried creating new sims to possibly fill the role, max them out on the needed skill and befriend one of my main sim. Still nada. She would only hire her husband as caterer and I don't even know how that happened because she was the only one who could hire him. (He's not a caterer btw, he has another job) If you find any solution to the problem, let me know!!

    My issue is that I click the "up arrow" to hire a random NPC for a job and no one shows up once the party starts.

    @crinrict Yeah actually I have both problems. I've never had sims and townies show up on my list (except for that one time). And when I click the arrow button up to hire someone nobody shows up.

    *edit* So I tried a new game to see maybe it would work again. Still nothing on my list and when I tried just hiring a random one, a caterer did show up but no entertainer or mixologist. Even tried just changing the bar but still nada.
