No Bartenders, Vendors or Baristas on community lots
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.65.77.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Eco life, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, Island Life, University, Get Together, Get To work. Parenthood, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Dine out, Tiny Living, Laundry Day, Bowling Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place an espresso bar/ machine, Food stall (CL), Catering station (DU) or bar on a community lot
What happens when the bug occurs? When the item is placed on a lot besides the obvious ones where they belong no NPC is generated to operate them. Eg. The espresso machine spawns an npc worker on the Cafe lot but not if placed on any other lot type. Same for bars outside of nightclubs and lounges etc.
What do you expect to see? NPCs are spawned to work the different machines on ALL community lots. Eg If an espresso bar is on a library lot an NPC would be spawned to work there. Also an option to have dual lot types or lot traits to have them spawn.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
I don't know if this is a glitch or how the game was intentionally made but it really limits the possibilities of building community lots. It's perfectly reasonable to have an espresso station at a library or a food stall at a park. It was possible in Sims games of the past where just having an object on a community lot would spawn the npc. I know there is the option to hire the vendor, bartender etc, however when i do this the time they stay is limited and most of the time only my active sim uses them, the other sims don't seem to acknowledge that they are there.
