Hired roles don't show up

When you place a tattoo table from business and hobbies pack in a residential or commercial lot, sometimes no tattoo artist shows up when you hire one. And then you can't re-do the interaction as the game thinks one is already on the lot, but it's not. 

This has been tested without any mods installed:

I have tested with multiple families/sims/lots/saves.

This happens majority of the time and only occasionally I was able to get a tattoo artist to show. 

I also tested on a brand new save - no tattoo artist. Then made another brand new save - yet this time tattoo artist showed up. Its clearly a bug that occurs a lot but not everytime.

    That is very strange - I tested with multiple lots without any mods and no tattoo artist shows up. I play on PC. Even tried a brand new save. Nothing.

    Ok I dug up a very old save file from an online backup - tattoo artist showed up there. Also made another new save - weirdly tattoo artist showed, but not the previous brand new game. Clearly sometimes it works, sometimes not.  I've edited the main description.

    Maybe just the general issue of roles not showing up that's been going on for a while. Using this thread as new thread for that issue.

    Could you test the saves that are buggy if other roles such as mixologist and caterer show up ?

    EA is looking for saves so it would be great if you could send yours as instructed here: [INFORMATION] How to Send User Files to The Sims 4 Team | EA Forums - 5048472

    Make sure to include a link to the thread you're sending the save for.

  • Every time I do a social event I hire a caterer, entertainer, or mixologist for a social event they never show up. I even tried starting a new save and it didn't work.
