I dislike that the game uses my played sims as working NPCs at community lots
It did not happen long ago. I guess it started with ECO Lifestyle, or the pack/patch before.
I have played my little community of 70+ households since TS4 release. That is 6 years, and I know these characters pretty well. My imagination goes into this, too, because in my game there is a lot going on that is not featured in the game. Such as my 5 years election. Recently the 5 Councillors were elected. They are all more or less successful politicians or business ppl, most of them from the higher social level.
It's rather disturbing when my group of UNI students visits the Gibbs Hill bar to celebrate that another term is done. Then to find one of the Councilors serving there as a bartender is breaking all my illusions. Edvin Phlum has run a successful business for many years and has now reached the regional Council, which is top of my community. He would NOT serve any bar. And why on earth should he serve a bar in Britechester while he lives at San Myshuno's Uptown? Would make more sense if the game picked a bartender from Britechester, if it is this important for the game to use played sims.
In my game there is a list of hundreds of NPC sims that was created by the game, never played by me, and never "heart-ed" by me, Why can't the game use one of those? It could in the past. I hope this is a bug and that it will be fixed, because it really harms the game. I never appreciated to see my Duchess walk the streets wearing a silly situation/festival costume, either, but it is in fact worse seeing my played sims as bartenders, vendors at the flee market, etc. Please leave it to me to decide whether any of my played sims shall serve a bar or sell globes at the outdoor market.
