Director, stylist and co-actors missing from acting job

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Dansk
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.131.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Dine out, parenthood, get to work, get together, Discovery university, Island living, get famous, seasons, cats and dogs, city living, realm of magic, strangerville, kids room, my first pet
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It just happens everytime i start an acting job.
What happens when the bug occurs? Either the stylist, director or co-actor (or all of them) are missing from the set or will leave efter a short time. This makes it impossible to get dressed, tell the director that you’re ready and last but not least impossible to do the actual acting without a co-star.
What do you expect to see? I would expect the stylist, instructor/director and the co-actor(s) to be on set.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

  • I actually played my Get Famous actor sim yesterday and did two gigs and they were completey fine. I've done almost all of the gigs and I've never seen the makeup artist, director, stylist or any of the other critical sims like co-stars leave the set.

    It's hard to say what could be causing your issue, but since I'm not getting it, it's most likely something you've got on your end. In your video it shows you're using MC Command Center. Are you sure there isn't some setting you've got active that's causing this? Even if you remove all mods, they may have caused permanent changes to the save file, like maybe the game never created a wardrobe stylist or makeup artist in the first place.

    Have you tested to see if this happens in a completely fresh new saved game with absolutely no mods installed?

    There was no issue a couple of weeks ago in the same game file. The make-up artist, director and co-actors were all on set, so they do definitely exist. This was with MCCC installed, so I would asume that’s not what’s causing the issue. The issue arised after doing 2-3 acting gigs, and now it’s always happening. I’ve tried repairing the game file, but that’s not helping either. 
    When I call over my co-stars etc. to my home, they’re not showing up either, but they do show up spontaneously as friends, so they’re not missing from the game. 
    I believe it happened after the previous update, because it wasn’t an issue beforehand.

    @Kastni Could oyu please test on a new save without ANY mods. All bugs in the bug forum must be tested on a modless game ... that includes MCCC.

    Mods break with patches.

    @crinrict I’ve now removed all mods and started a new game file. Now it won’t even allow me to see any auditions - no response what so ever, when I click on the audition tab. It wouldn’t let me open auditions in the other game file either after the last acting job with the missing director.
