[AA] Objects Sims don't use/can't use on Custom Venues/Getaways

Hello everyone,

I already reported about the painting activity not working on custom venues and gataways but I noticed that it's not just painting. Other objects are also not used by the sims at all even if it's the only activity on the schedule:

  • Cauldron: Spellcaster sims don't use (except maybe one random sim that is not even assigned to the role)
  • Seance tables: Sims don't use them at all even if it's the only activity available on the lot, on the schedule (they prefer talking to each other or even play with clay if they find some)
  • DJ booths (I saw a report about the DJ role, but this time it's the DJ activity)
  • Taking care of needs (Once again, I only have one sim doing this and the others prefer to talk and do other things even if they're hungry, tired, lack fun, etc...)
  • Apothecary table (one again, just one sim does the activity)
  • Robot Station
  • And of course painting (but there's already a report on that one)
  • Cleaning

These are all the activities I tried that don't work, I haven't try anything else for now (well I did for some activities but they work fine: pottery, play an instrument, singing, cooking, mentoring, training, all of them work)

I noticed something, sims from the household tend to not do the activity at all, the only one sim to do the activity is always a sim that is selected by the game automatically to fill the number of roles

    Product and Pack(s) Affected: 
    The Sims 4 (latest patch),
    Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack
    Paranormal Stuff Pack

    Platform: PC

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Create a new custom venue lot type with a seance table, chairs and a crystal ball.
    2. Assign Attend Seance (from Paranormal Stuff Pack) as the scheduled activity.
    3. Set sims to host seances (with max Medium Skill, level 5).
    4. Visit the venue or host a getaway.

    Expected Result:
    Sims attend seances/use the seance table.
    Staff members successfully host seances when assigned.

    Actual Result:
    Sims ignore the seance table and do not use it, even at max Medium skill.

    Workarounds Tried:
    Removing other activities from the schedule (no effect).
    Testing with different staff Sims, different venues, and different skill levels (no change).

    Notes: No CC or Mods used

    Edit By Crinrict: Added missing pack tag to title.

  • Turning this to Multi for now to prevent further upvotes/comments.

    There's now separate threads and a collection which is a bit messy. I will check with a CM how Maxis want this handled.

    There's currently no need to do separate thread until I've cleared this up.

    The Getaway System introduced in Adventure Awaits includes a custom role-assignment feature that lets you assign NPCs custom functions (for example: DJ, Bar attendant, ) to staff a custom venue. NPCs assigned through this feature in custom venues are not using their assigned stations (DJ booth, Espresso Bar from Get Together or Tea Bar from High School Years). Instead they perform other autonomous actions. 

    Steps to reproduce:

    Create a custom venue using the Getaway System.
    Use the Getaway System's custom role/staff assignment feature to assign NPCs to roles (e.g., DJ, attendant for Bars).
    Place the relevant objects on the lot: DJ Booth, Espresso Bar (Get Together), Tea Bar (High School Years).
    Load the venue and observe the assigned NPCs’ behavior.

    Expected: Assigned Sims should autonomously use the DJ booth or bar and perform their role.
    Actual: Assigned Sims ignore the station and act autonomously.

    Additional details:

    No mods or custom content installed (100% vanilla).
    Issue observed on Mac and PC.

    Affected objects: DJ Booth (station), Espresso Bar (Get Together), Tea Bar (High School Years).
