Re: [FIXED] [GF] Customer Service NPCs Don't Spawn on Community Lots
@TomilynYT I've merged your post with the master thread for this issue. The problem is having the "opt out of fame" box checked, at least as far as I've seen, so try unchecking it.

You are a lifesaver! That worked! Thank you so so much. I would have been stuck on that forever. Much appreciated.
Hi! I'm havin' the same issue, but my box for "Opt Out Of Fame" was never checked, and I'm still seeing no staff.. anywhere..
- @dandysprout Are you using mods/cc and are you overstuffing your household ? If not, try opting out of fame, change lots, then turn it off again.

Oh boy, this one is a real game breaker for me. I play massively with service lots. I first noticed when I walked into a deserted retail lot. Then after travelling around I realised there were no staff anywhere so far.
I found a different workaround with some lots if anyone doesn't want to change the fame toggle. I switched to the household that owns the establishment where there is an owner (not all are owned) this causes the worst lag I've ever experienced, but I rehired the staff using Manage Employees. I then used the till to Open up. I switched back to another household and visited as a customer. It was working as it should, but I don't know how long for.
I've got so many more lots to visit and test today. I was on hours yesterday with it.
Edit: loaded up my game with the Fame Toggle back on and staff were back on lots. I took it off again and staff vanished. I put it back on and travelled to a different lot and still no staff. So I'm guessing the game needs to be restarted with the toggle on.
