[DO] No host or chefs at restaurant (Visit)

This still needs save games. Please send yours as per instructions in the first post.

Same thing on Xbox, replaced host stations in build mode, hasn’t helped.  Saves are recent, but for a few years running dynasty 

this is happening to me as well. All my restaurants are in Newcrest. Host never shows up now, only the chefs, waiters and  bartenders. happy to know it's not just my game but I hope they fix this soon. Going out to eat the experimental food is literally one of my favorite parts of the game!

Im also having the problem where there is no host since last update on ps5 

I have had it happen, but from the restaurant point of view. The manager of the restaurant opening the restaurant but the host never showed up so nobody could get a table.

When my sims travel to a restaurant or try to go on a date, the host isn't at the host's podium. My sims can't get seated or request a table since there is no host. I've tried multiple restaurants, I tried repairing the game, restarting the game and debugged the host's podiums. Nothing is working. Is this happening to anyone else? What is even weirder is that the chefs and waiters show up. And other diners seem to be able to walk to the host's podium, nod at an imaginary person or just go right to their seats without a host. I believe this only started happening after the September update.

I kinda resolved the issue by having a sim own the restaurant and hiring a host- the host is glitchy, but they are there

Right after the recent patch (1.128.90 1030) dropped, hosts are not spawning at some restaurants. For me, it's mostly happening in San Myshuno, but I’ve seen other players mention it happening in different worlds after the patch. Everything was working fine at the restaurants before the update. I’ve already tried traveling to another lot and back, resetting the host station, reinstalling the game, and even increasing sim limits with MCCC, but none of these helped. I've removed my mod folder, but the issue is still happening. Hope this gets looked into and fixed soon.

After September update, multiple restaurants do not have a host. There was one that populated on the sidewalk of one of the restaurants I attempted to have the Sims eat at, but then quickly disappeared. The restaurant still has chefs and they make food for diners that are already assigned to a table upon loading the lot. I'm playing on Xbox 

I am also having this issue in my game (PC, no mods). It started after the most recent update. 

Edited to add that I tested two workarounds with success. 1. Changing the venue type to generic and then back to restaurant. 2. Buying the restaurant, hiring staff and then selling it.
