NPC Making List
These are listed by pack. Each pack will also have two sub-replies: for service sims (those that appear when hired or to fill a role) and for background sims (those mostly non-important sims to liven the air).
I will also include a list of NPC roles within the links too. If you'd like to find them, for now, I'd suggest Control+F as I don't know how to link them for now.

There are no special template for these sims.
Unused
There are two NPC careers that go unused. It seems like at first instead of Hired Bartenders and Hired Caterers being a random sim, a special role was made for these sims to be hired to parties. Yet now, they do nothing. These are:
Caterer
careers.add_career Adult_NPC_HomeChef
Company Bartender
careers.add_career Adult_NPC_Bartender_company
For now, I'd avoid them. Yes, you can assign them to your sims, but in the end, they do nothing.
