[ECO] Hardly any Sims visiting Community Space/No vendors

I have this, totally vanilla saves, old and new. No vendors or marketsales-sims spawn.

I tried all workarounds from thread in archives. No help. All 3 lot types only spawn few regular visitors, who do nothing as no NPC sims to NPC roles anymore at all.

These lots used to spawn lots of sims to roles. 

Game is up to date. I only noticed now as the festival bug in past made me avoid Evergreen Harbor, but now I am back at playing there. Or try to.. 

So after finding this thread yesterday when my game was doing the same thing, I think I figured out what might be at least part of the issue. I went into an unplayed household, gave them the fabrication skills, juicing skills and other relevant skills and made sure they had plenty of bits and pieces. I then made a club with them with the location of maker station and had the activity to only be fabrication and juice fizzing. Then went back to my household and visited the lot. The club gathered but not one sim went to the fabricator or juice fizzer they just stood there chatting. I  then used the mod "control any sim" to try to get the one I gave skills to go fabricate and it says he doesn't have enough bits and pieces to fabricate when it shows he has over 5000. So it appears the game isn't recognizing the materials needed to fabricate for NPC sims. Not sure yet why the marketplace won't spawn vendors but I do believe the issue with maker space is that even with the skill and club activity the game is not allowing them to do anything based on the bits and pieces issue.

This issue is still ongoing on my side, and I would like to know if there is something that will be done about it. It's been months and this lot type became completely useless because of that.

I did additional testing by switching from object_based_situations_schedule to object_situation_shifts in the object tuning for the sales table (that contains the situation triggering NPC coming to sell objects for those lots, as the object_based_situations_schedule is now DEPRECIATED) and/or (tested both) checking the "use_object_provided_situations_schedule" in the zone directors of the community lot and each sub-types, but none of it worked. 

Have been having the same issues as everyone else. No one is showing up to my community spaces. I keep hoping to see a resolution in the laundry lists, updates etc. but nothing so far. I have no interest in playing the game or buying new packs until this is resolved. I use these lots all the time in my game, and every single community space lot type is affected, so there's no point in playing until it's fixed.

Im having the samw issue on my pc . sims team needs to fix it . 

I am experiencing this too - minimal sims turning up and none of them interact with the objects. I play on pc with minimal mods but it is still happening with mods removed in a new save.

At first I thought it was because of all the couples occupying all the benches to gaze at the sky but now it's happening with benches removed.

The community spaces were my favourite lot type because there was always full of activity - now there is no activity at all.

This is still an issue. Marketplace lots haven’t functioned properly for several months now.

I am also having this issue. While visiting a marketplace community space (Sprucewood Squeare) no vendor shows up for the foodtruck and no sims are tending the selling tables. There are about 6 other 'regular' sims on the lot, but they are only chatting (since there is nothing else to do with no vendors showing up and nobody tending the selling tables).

While the latest patch fixed many vendor issues, this one remains unsolved.
