what kind of cc/mods are you using ? Did you have any in when you bought DO ?
Do the right ones come the first day ?
Do you change anything about the Sims you're using as chefs before you open the restaurant (move them in, change clothing) ? Is it just the chefs or other employees as well ? Do the correct ones still show in your employee tab ?
Do you play rotationally ?
Moving this to tech issues for further troubleshooting and info
I have this same problem. I hire a chef and then a random npc shows up instead. It's only the chef. All other employees work. I have also tried starting a new game and the same problem happens.
