[HSY] ThriftStore: Notification Spam for events/No customers

crinrict​ 

I saw the notification spam today for the first time and do have an LE that was generated.

I took a teen sim who has graduated early from high school to the store around noonish game time, on a Monday.  I don't think any event should have been triggered but the spam came and the poetry event did end up starting.  There wasn't a vendor on the lot when the sim arrived but one did finally appear at what would have been after school hours.  I honestly think the fashion show event was also starting but needed to get my sim home.  The store was very full when I left with her.

I'm having the same issue, the first time I entered the lot a vendor did show up but leaved after a while (don't know if they are supposed to have shifts like the bartenders do or not) but ever since then no vendors have been seen and I've visited the lot several times. The boba shop owner did walk by the lot the first time I went there but she has also not been seen since.  The contestants always show up whether there's an event or not but no other sims comes by. 

This seems to be the case for me as well. On both Wednesday and Thursday no vendor or customers would spawn, but on Friday for the Fashion Show, all sims showed up with no issues.

Seem to be a problem only for poetry/comedy night, that the vendor don't turn up or any customers.

I have this problem as well, it is always poetry night and the vendor or customers don't show up.

I have the exact same issue. No vendor, no appearance of any customers apart from the contestants, and the competition noticed are spammed repeatedly.

I guess this fits here so let's go :)

When the events Comedy Night or Poetry Night take place, the 4 contestants and my sims will spawn at the thrift tea venue. But the vendor is missing as well as the owner Eloise Hiddlestix. There also isn't any audience or thrifting customers or whatever else. Just the five of us. Those 4 npc contestants don't perform at all. My sim will autonomously go to the mic as soon as the event starts but after this, nothing happens anymore. But as soon as the event is over at 8pm, the vendor, the owner and many customers start to arrive.

The OpenMicNightZoneDirectors are missing those data for all those additional sims. I cannot imagine that this was intended by EA. It's just not working like any irl contest. Please fix this. I would love to have a fun night at the thrift store with lots of sims and working npc contestants.

This might also effect the lounge and karaoke (open mics) events too. But I didn't test those as of now.

Stats: PC, all packs, no mods, game version 1.114.46.1030

I'm not sure what triggers this. Not a problem in a new test Save, but when I pulled out a couple of random older saves from backup - that I didn't remember seeing this in - the events spammed just as they are in my current save. The only time I visit a Tea Shop is when my Elderly Cheer Squad meets there. 

A while back I had this problem with GF lounge events. My solution then was the remove all the lounges and not put them back until I'd played through all me households. Neither the game nor I seemed to miss them. So... I've deleted all (two) tea shops from my regular save and we'll see what happens.  The Cheer Squad will have to meet at a Rec Center.

Maybe the problem is I usually just ignore lounge and tea shop events. 🤷‍♀️

Yes. I also noticed some weird behavior with the street vendor in the Tea Shop neighborhood, so definitely needs a vanilla test.
