Tutorial: Turning Your Sims into Service NPC (No mods required)

What happened to NPC fishermen?

I think I remember lots of sims dressed like this...

...hanging around ponds and rivers during my early TS4 days. Since then I haven't played sims with the angler aspiration and have totally neglected fishing locations. But recently I decided to create an NPC fisherman myself with the traits and careers listed above...

... and gave him level 10 fishing skill to be on the safe side. I sent another sim to a fishing sign post and waited. My selfmade NPC didn't show, and the sims that did didn't wear the fisherman outfit but their everyday (or maybe seasonal) outfit:

I first thought that this was a variation of the problem described in this older thread, but I have no outfit troubles with my maid or gardener. Also, I could neither find the trait nor the career on these sims:



They do have level 10 fishing skill, though:



And all of them have an assigned role:

role_open_streets_masterfisherman

I wonder... do these traits still work for you or has the system changed for NPC fishermen? The other NPC traits I tried worked fine so far.
