Sims 4 interior-design no clients at the home

I had this same issue with my second gig. The gig was in an apartment, so maybe that was part of the problem? I haven’t had this happen with houses. The best solution I found was:

>ctrl+Shift+C

>testingcheats true

>sims.get_sim_id_by_name [Client sim’s first and last name]

>sims.summon_sim_to_zone [Client Sim's ID number provided by last prompt]

The Sim should spawn as Client

i tried this and it didn’t work. ☹️ last name was spencer so i tried every sim with the last name “spencer” in manage worlds and none of them showed up as my client.

Thanks for the advice. The sims showed up, but then just disappeared again...

In case anyone else is still having trouble with this. I know this is bad, but you can also switch to the family itself (the one you're designing for,) and play them to learn their interests and then pop back to your original sim (the one doing the interior design gig,). Kind of a horrible cheat lol but hey, at least then you can make a build to the correct prompt lol xD They're still working out some of the bugs with interior design, but I still love it as a career in game <3 

i just get this issue and this is happen when there was a gig in the appartement building

Somehow when my sim is at a lot. He suppose to talk to clients but they arent there i need help 

EmpoweredSleetYou didn't mess up, unfortunately. That's a bug. Lately, I've only had this happen if I'm redoing a venue/community lot. The people always show up when I decorate their homes where they live. 

This is my workaround: I only take venue gigs from single-sim households. Before the gig starts, I click on the person's home. The person's panel will come up showing their traits and aspiration. If you hover over the likes/dislikes icon, it will tell you all their likes and dislikes. Make a note of them, then use those preferences when you makeover the venue.

Example: I had a gig to renovate a gym for a sim named Logan Hogan. After I accepted the gig, I took my decorator sim traveling and I clicked on Logan's house. I saw on her panel that she liked blue, liked French country, and disliked some things. When I showed up to the gym at the start of the work day, Logan wasn't there. I proceeded to give the gym a blue, French Country makeover. When I was finished with this, I called Logan "back" to the lot, showed her blue French Country gym, and she was delighted. Got a big tip.
