Cottage Living bar not loading [MAC]

I preordered the new Sims 4 pack on my Mac and have been enjoying it. The only problem ive been having is the new bar in the world doesn't load for me. I normally play with mods so i thought it was a mod issue. Naturally I took all my mods out and tried again, no dice. Every time i go to visit the bar it loads for 2-3 min then takes me back to the world selection screen and deletes the household i attempted to take to the bar. Not that big of a issue but it is frustrating that i cant enjoy this portion of the game pack. Any advise on trouble shooting would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

  • @BlathersBowtie1  Please start a new save, for comparison, with your mods still removed.  No need to spend much time on it; just grab a household and try to travel one or more sims to the same bar.  Let me know whether it works.

    I’ve had the same issue and I’m on pc (Microsoft). I think it might be related to one of eco lifestyle’s neighbourhood action plan, but I removed it and replaced the lot. I also tried to make my sims go to a house in the same neighbourhood and it sent me back to world menu also.

    @BlathersBowtie1 Hey! I figured out why it happened (for me at least). The townie bartender died and wasn't replaced, so the lot wasn't functional anymore. It's been three years so I hope you managed to solve it on your own, but if anyone has the same issue, this might be it!

    @Aulline Do you have any mods that relate to NPCs or world population at all? Curious about if this is mod-related or not.

    Yes! I was using the "no random townies" mod by zero, and I fixed the issue by using their "assign npc job" mod.

    Just adding here, for others seeing this, that NO mod can stop ALL townie generation without breaking game functions. Any mod claiming it can do so is suspect.
