Why there are only 2 self-manually employed co-workers out of 4 at my Hospital?

How to bring all 4 to my Doctor Career Venue?

I got a "Stop Generating New Townie" mod. When I turned it off, a third random NPC coworker comes. When I turned it on, nobody comes. Therefore I think it's not about the limit.

  • As @jpkarlsen said. The game picks random co worker and sometimes it will spawn new co-worker. I have 8 NPC which work in hospital career. Most the time I got my created, but the game will still create new NPC as my co-workers just because it can. (You can delete this NPC but the game will create a new after some time. I used to delete this NPC but now I just give them a make-over. Normally it takes a while before the game create a new co-worker. I have still the same after 48 sims days)

    Your hospital gets 3 co-worker; 1 nurse, 1 doctor and 1 receptionist. They all do nothing in a vanilla game. Some days you don’t have a doctor or nurse because of staff *shortage*. I love the doctor career but in vanilla I hate my co-worker because they are useless and the nurse love to block one patient.  I highly recommended to use simvasion *better hospital staff* and scumbombo *Always keep a Doctor at the Hospital* if you play the doctor career. I don’t know if they compatible with the realistic childbirth mod. I don’t use this mod, but I know it’s rather a popular mod.

    You best bet is to ask the creator of the mod *stop generating New Townie* what the issue is. Maybe the mod is broken for GTW-careers.

    So you have confirmed that the issue is caused by a mod. Next step would be to look for an update. If it is not updated you need to remove it.

    There is nothing that says that there must be 4 coworkers. A Clerk a nurse and a doctor is needed. As you progress in the career the other doctor becomes unnecessary.

  • @jpkarlsenThank you for the response but sorry I think you misunderstand what I mean. I mean the issue isn't because of the limit, that fact is supported by the mod. With or without mod, the issue is still there. I might type this wrong: "When I turned it on, nobody comes." whereas I mean "my supposedly other selected sims or nobody new comes." Also, what I mean isn't about the 4 coworkers, but "why do they bring random NPC as coworkers whereas I already selected other Sims?", "why they are not the ones who are at the hospital?".

    Or, would you mind enlightening me on how the game generates Doctor Coworkers? Is the game only generating the Doctor, the Clerk & the Nurse (only 3 as limit?) but not others?

    It is not possible to specify which NPC's that should show  The game generates random townies to fill the 3 required coworkers. 

    You wrote that removing the mod made the third NPC appear hence it was the mod that prevented the game to work as intended.

  • @daikoyu Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation & the mod suggestions (I've tried those, but unfortunately it's not working as I intended). I really appreciate it.
    Tbh I still don't see that the mod is the problem. And if so, the mod is NPCC by Paulson who is very lacking in communication ☹️
    I guess I just need to find another mod or learn how to make a mod myself to fill my specific need.
