Hired Sims Never Show Up

Kolby

I have had a problem with hired mixologists/pianists/etc never showing up. My Sim will make the call and the payment will be charged but the NPC never shows up. Has anyone else seen this?

I can't even get an option to hire one in the event planner.
The panels under each category are all usually blank...except for once when the host Sim's portrait showed up under available caterers
I just chalked it up to my Sims not knowing any other sims that qualify for the job and/or aren't already employed elsewhere.

Hello
You should be still able to hire one in the event planner, but there is an issue where you are unable to select a certain sim to fulfil the job. You need to hire just a random sim This thread refers to that issue

Even if I am just playing on a community lot, when you click certain objects you get the option to "Hire..." and when selected, the NPC won't arrive.

Hello
The NPCs should arrive when you hire them in that way.

Repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or " options " file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder
