Re: [AA] Missing Supervised Customer Role Criteria in Custom Venues/Getaways

Hello!

Like advertised in this blogpost, i tried to have a dog training park elemination where those with the lowest petskill are kicked out. There are mulitple issues with this advertized feature however.

(proof of it being advertized)

Getaways Galore in The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack (link to the article from EA)

So the first issue is, there is no way to eliminate sims via other skills other than cooking, writing/painting, and romance/friendship. Which is disappointing as we have many other skills we couldve used for this system. 

The second issue is, if you were to host a getaway on a custom dog build venue...No dog shows up to train with. So your sims stand around and kinda do nothing, because no dog is programmed to show up to begin with! Am I doing this wrong? Am i just overseeing something? I hope so :( when they talked about this feature i was so excited and now it turns out we cannot actually do what was promised to us?

There's one dog there, and I know the getaway looks bad, but thats because this is just a test getaway. (i suspected this wouldnt work, sadly)) No dogs show up, besides my own dog, who I had to invite because the vacation system automatically kicks dogs/pets from joining.

i so so hope this can be fixed :(

Edit By Crinrict: correct tag to fit conventions. Adjusted title

Edit by Kath: It's kinda horrible how this feature which should be included in our game that we paid money for, is moved to feedback, making it seem like i'm making it all up or something. Deeply disappointed, but sadly not that surprised.

    Did some more testing here:

     I can build a custom venue and schedule things like play with pets, feed pets, pets play and learn.  Except when I go to the lot the only thing that spawns are human npcs.  They have the tag "pet owner" but no pets come with them.  The lot does have the dog friendly trait, the obstacle course does work - just no pets spawning.

    If I add the trait for stray dogs - a couple of those do show up for a little while, and npcs will kind of interact with them, but not run the obstacle course or do any training activities. 


    Possibly related - NPCs do not change out no matter how long I stay at the venue.  None of the normal "person X leaves and person Y arrives happens."

    Still testing this to see if I can get any additional information.  When I stay on the lot (we're at 5 days now lol).. around 1 two npcs dogs (not strays) will zone in, but they leave as soon as they are greeted by a sim.  

    The same sims stay on the lot or return right after leaving if they're on the brink of a visit with Grim.  No pets have zoned in.

    When I actually delete the sims who originally spawn, new sims do come to the lot, but like the first batch they have the "pet owner" tag but do not come with pets or actually are in households with pets.

    This is literally the report below, which was somehow moved to feedback instead of being taken into consideration

    Yup, this is an issue for me as well. It's due to the "Supervised Customer" category missing in the new scheduling menu, so there is no way for us to select pets, toddlers, and infants to spawn on Custom Venues and Getaways. I wanted to make a dog park and horse training grounds but am unable to because of this bug. It's frustrating that the original report was moved to Feedback. I hope we can get a fix for this soon!

    It was advertised so it should be possible now that we can play. Be it a bug or an oversight it should be fixed. I was also waiting to create a horse/riding camp and horse retreat and getaway for pet owners but seems like it's not possible 😩
