Trouble Assigning My Sims as NPCs

Hey everyone :) 

I hope all is well. I hoping some of you can help me. I am struggling to program my Sims in my save as NPCs. I use to do this no problem but now it's just not working and I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

[1] Step 1, I create the Sim and move them into a lot.

[2] Step 2, I use testingcheats true and then the appropriate code/trait for the NPC which I find here: EgonVM's Ultimate NPC Making Guide 2.0 | EA Forums - 4955205

Example: careers.add_career Adult_NPC_Nanny & traits.equip_trait trait_isNanny

[3] Step 3, Evict the Household (as I was told NPC's cannot live in the world), and then I uncheck them as a "played" household. 

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

    Hmm... The steps do seem to be correct... I'm guessing when you enter the careers.add_career Adult_NPC_Nanny cheat (should work correctly), you do get a notification that your sim is now in a Nanny career, correct?

    Has the game generated a nanny before or does it generate a new one when you hire one?

    Being a ghost and having at least 1 fame level would disqualify them also, but I don't think that could be the case...

    Ah, coming back to ask this.

    Any chance you evict them from non-Tomarang world and then try to hire them in Tomarang?

    I got it to work in the end. I was using a mod that I think was conflicting with it… that’s why I believe. Btw, in your thread for thr location based sims the “with mods” option is greyed out for me so I can’t click on it. Is there a way you can link me to the post? Or is it in development?

    It's in development still unfortunately.
