Retail Employees Not Available for Hire

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

• Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
• Tray Folder
• Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
• Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave)
• Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
• Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game. 

I did all of this for my restaurant and still no one isavailable to hire i even repaired my game and I'm still having the same problem.

Tried again and still having the same problem this is aggravating

Yayyyyyyyyy I got it working again. It was definitely a mod that was causing it. I guessed which one and took it out my folder and surely it's back to normal now. It was the mod the produces less elders that's not in the world. Thanks for the help. Woo hoooo

How to get Retail or any Employees that you do not hire.  First, do not use the owner of the shop. log off that household. go and pick a different household , then go to your shop. you will have employees, buy from your shop so you will get the money haha . when you later go back to your shop and open you will have employees. and you did not hire them. Same ones will show up every time you open.  Worked for me. hope this helps.

My manage employees screen is blank. Just white. Nothing there at all. It's a retail lot I haven't played in a while but last I played it was fine. CC was turned off and still it's blank. Any clue?

Thanks for the reply. It is just the one retail lot. My others work fine.
