It worked. I added the mod, did not assign any of the roles manually, and Michael is back at his cottage:
And yes, he works fine:
Take it back off, and it goes back to a random sim. So. Gauntlet doesn't create new traits/jobs for most of his role mods, (there are a few exceptions but this isn't one of them) he just edits them. And one of the things he does with most of them is remove most filters/requirements for roles. So my thinking is that it is as i first suspected, the roles are too restrictive, and something is happening to these sims that gets them filtered out of the role somehow. I don't know what exactly it is, but...
o-RayeGunn-o Sorry for answering 2 months late. I think I might miss the notification of this post (it's hard to track comments in the current forum system unless you use @ )
Recently, I found mod "Keep Premades - Townie Overhaul Less Fame" made by sims4me in CurseForge. This seems to fix this bug directly. I will try the mod today and update here.
As this bug isn't in 150+ bugfixes, we might have to solve it ourselves until it gets pick.
Test the mod and it works too. Michael Bell finally appears instead of a random sim.
For anyone interested in bugfix mod, search "Keep Premades - Townie Overhaul Less Fame"
However, this bug should be fixed by the official anyway because console players can't use the mod. And not all people can access mods or feel secure using them.
