When you put those townies in your game did you add them to a lot from the map screen and then immediately evict them without playing them or loading the lot? Because as I understand it that’s what you have to do in order for the game to use them in the roles you assigned. If you play them or open the lot they lose their job role traits and become unemployed played sims.
Yeah, put them straight in without playing them.
I've also not had an issue in the past if the lot has loaded and I've quickly exited and marked them as unplayed.
Most of the NPC sims are working - the mailcarriers, nannies, vendors etc are all filling their roles correctly. The main issue is university roommates. I have so many unemployed, student YA sims who are flagged as roommate who are refusing to actually act as roommates, causing the game to generate its usual lot of eccentic sims. Same with the university mascot. The game does recognise my mascot as the mascot but she doesn't have the 'university mascot' flag above her head and the game keeps generating one for walkbys.
If it's specifically University roommates you want, I use this mod by LittleMsSam and it totally fixes the issues. She gives very clear instructions to follow if you want to try it, and it works perfectly for me:

I'll check that out. I use a lot of her mods already so I know she makes good quaility ones.

I use npc control (the last update is working fine, and u can get it on patreon for free now) but u need configure ur own sims and give them a job. anyway, i hope a update of this mod. i can't play without it
NPCControl tends not to play well with some of the mods I use, and the author locking it behind a paywall is seriously annoying. I know he eventually releases it to the public but it takes far too long for what is a fairly essessntial tool for many players.
