HiI thought I remembered a mod that stopped played sims being utilized by the game for food servers or similar but after searching for ages I cannot find it so I am wondering if another player might be using it and can point me in the right direction.. I simply cannot stand to see big bad vlad with an apron on serving food :)

I simply cannot stand to see big bad vlad with an apron on serving food :) I'm not sure on the mod or code that can be put in, however, I am pretty sure that any character (household) you don't want as the random servers etc, you just play them once. Only "un-played" sims can be the random stuff. A household marked as "played" won't do that.(correct me if I'm wrong)

What about unplayed sims but those who live in one of the worlds' houses? Is there any mod to avoid them getting those npc jobs?

@Admiral8Q I will try that next time I am in game and then try test it but i thought it was not possible that way but you could be right. I know I saw a simple mod somewhere and I cannot for the life of my think of the modder and that stopped played sims being used at food vendors and the like..When/if I find out i will come back.@texxx78 I honestly don't know possibly with the MCCC mod which I do use but am in no way an expert but again i will try find out something however my knowledge is a little limited on this topic :)

Is there any mod to avoid them getting those npc jobs?Yes. ;)One way to do that without a mod is to use a testingcheat code that removes their hidden career trait. A bit complicated at first to figure out.One of the MCCC program options has that built in and is much easier to use than doing it manually.I've actually done the opposite. For example I made someone a "Handyman" by giving them the hidden career trait, then made them un-played but living in a house. So that way they always show up without being "not-in-world" "un-played". Occasionally a newly spawned townie may replace them, but then I just delete that townie.@SPARKY1922 As for Vlad showing up as a food-server all the time? That's actually hilarious, and yeah I'd want to stop that too, haha! :D I'm not sure what skills would trigger that. For example a bar-tender (Mixologist) needs the mixology skill. But again I've never seen a played Sim ever show up randomly. Only will show up if you hire them specifically.EDIT: I just though of something, if you play him briefly, give Vlad a "job/career", then set him as "un-palyed", that may override the food-server thing?

I had to take NPCC out because it's outdated and the most up-to-date version (still outdated) is locked behind a paywall on Patreon. It causes issues with some of the new NPCs we've gotten I'm pretty sure.Maybe it's not that big of a deal for others right now.. I just wanted the OP to be aware.

I don’t think I have ever had a playable sim be used as a food server, although I was able to hire a playable sim as a retail person once. I have a fairly big rotation too. Over 100 played sims. Could it be that you have too many played
( or favorited ) sims?

I never thought of that but yes I have several families in each world designated immortal via the MCCC mod because I like to rotate my play style/theme and take as much time as I like to play them but i thought the game generated NPC's for these sorts of jobs and not take from the world populations?

Today I switched from using NPCC to using No Randoms by Zero. It’s so far working great. Just adding this in in case you ever do want to try it.

I would love to be able to replace NPCC because Paulson hasn't updated it. But, I need to find a mod to have a tombstone collector. Does anyone know if this aspect of NPCC is available anyplace else?

Urn Binding and Summoning on MTS might work

I made Cruella De Vil.
She kept showing up as a bartender! :D :D

I found it amusing since she is mean and evil, heh!

I actually switched back to NPCC again. I play rotational and without NPCC I noticed that some of my sims that had good jobs were being reassigned to lame jobs like waiters. I don’t know if it was the game itself to blame or the no randoms mod but either way I found it unacceptable. NPCC is such a good mod and makes so much difference to my game. I very much hope either Paulson returns to updating it or the game never fully breaks it. :/
