Re: [ARCHIVED] Hired sims don't appear

Also the same issue. New game, no mods, fresh install (due to new computer), so very "clean" test case. I have two parts. First I see no townies in the lists, though the one household member that has cooking & mixology (both maxed) does show, but *only* as a mixologist. So that is odd.I started the game with the vanilla stock townies.

If I tick the up arrow for all three party hires, only the mixologist will show every time. It does not matter if the event is at the house or a venue. This can be a hired townie that I do not know, they'll show and tend bar fine. But I have never in the history of this save (third generation, dozens of parties as one had that aspiration) ever seen a hired caterer or entertainer appear or had one show in the list to hire, even when I know some.

Added Info:

I cleared my cache's and started a new game. Still no mods, etc. This new game did have all three hires show up for parties in venues outside the residence. I don't know about inside the residence as I didn't try (small apartment, no bar, instruments anyway). Very oddly intermittent.
