Question

Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? SvenskaHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.81.72.1030What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Dream Home Decorator, Outdoor Retreat, Paranormal Stuff, My First Pet Stuff, and kits.Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a professor join a club. Start a club gathering.What happens when the bug occurs? The professor doesn't come to the lot. All the other club members come to the lot.What do you expect to see? That professors can join club gatherings.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No‌At first I thought it might've been because the club leader was a university student, but now the club leader has graduated and the professor still doesn't join club gatherings.

Professors are excluded from a whole bunch of social filters, similar to other NPCs like Flower Bunny, Sages of the Magic Realm, or Batuu aliens, or Baby Ariel, where they are allowed to appear in certain places they were created for, but in all other places they are usually on an exclusion list. I don't even think you can call and ask a professor on a date because they are on the exclusion list for the dating filter.

@SqueamishNerd not that I know of. I'm not sure if putting all of those together in a collection would be useful, since if people are giving feedback on particular NPC types, they should probably do that on a case basis.

Like, Magic Sages aren't allowed to appear at gyms. I don't need that to be in the same thread as feedback asking to allow me to date professors.

Had this exact same problem. You can't even invite them to a party, despite having a friendship with them.

Hi @SqueamishNerd,I've moved the thread over to our general discussion section as it's not a bug but more of a request/feedback. Thanks for sharing this with us. - EA_Lanna

@simvasion Is there perhaps a collection thread about all these kinds of issues with professors? (i.e. I couldn't find any collection thread for this, but I feel like there should maybe be one)
