Premade sims losing their occupation when played
@RiemunenUnfortunately, as many others already has said, the roles "break" when you play them, or "activate" them. It's odd that they even have these roles while living in a house, as many will play and break them.
I think there's a solution though! NPC's have a hidden career and a hidden trait, which you can assign with cheats. First, remove the current "Pub owner" npc from your game. Then go into the Scott family household and have Sara as your active sim. Note that they shouldn't be at the Pub, but any other lot should work. Write 'testingcheats on' in the cheat menu (if you don't already have it on). Now, you need to write in two cheats:
traits.equip_trait trait_Hidden_Cottageworld_NPC_PubOwner
careers.add_career career_Adult_CottageWorld_NPC_PubOwner
This should give a pop-up that Sara has the pub owner career. Now, save and go to manage worlds and mark the Scott household as unplayed. This *should* bring Sara back as the pub owner. (I tried it and it worked!)
There is also a mod called Zero's Assign NPCs Roles, were you go into a cheat menu and choose the npc role you wish to assign. You still can't have the household marked as played, though.
Hope it works out! 🙂
