It’s not a glitch, it’s gameplay!

When I first noticed walking around in situational outfits in the magic realm. I understand the need for them at geekcon but in the magic realm? My my carefully created spellcasters are ruined by having them show up in random outfits that don't reflect their personality? Outfits that don't really make them look more magical either because they are not robes. A big thank you to @83bienchen for saving my spellcasters with her situational outfits mod.

Indeed, I don't like that too. Dealing with this in-game would require cheats, as you have to equip the premade spellcaster trait with this cheat:

traits.equip_trait trait_Hidden_SpellcasterPremade

Speaking of cheats, I'm making a save with custom NPC sims. There are two things that I found odd while making those:

• When making an Eco Inspector, I equipped the career and evicted them. Usually, it works and that sim appears as service sim, but eco inspectors were generated, which confused me. And then I decided to take a look at the tuning files for Eco Inspector sim_filter. It turns out that besides the career requirement, they need to never be played (which can be bypassed by saving the sim to your library and then downloading them, moving them into a lot (without playing with them), and immediately evicting) and they need to live alone in a household (I usually pack service sims into a 8-sim households, so that would also be a problem). So yeah, I did these and my custom-made sims appeared as eco inspectors!
  
• When making bartenders, they didn't appear in their role at all. In addition, I noticed their career disappearing as soon I went through the loading screen, even when that sim wasn't in the active household (which isn't the case with other NPC careers). I soon found out why: bartender (both the usual and wolftown variants, but not the company and pub owner variants) career is one of the location based careers (these sims only work in bars of the certain lot). Simply equipping the career leaves the location blank, so this sim won't appear anywhere. Realistic, I guess (you won't see the same bartender in every bar, I guess, never been to a bar), but this poses an annoying issue for me. I worked so hard on these sims after all! If anyone could suggest me a mod or suggest where to make such mod request, thanks in advance.

So yeah, it's a struggle sometimes, but the ability to look into tuning files does help me a lot. Plus I can share fun facts too!
