It looks like when I place a food stall on a public lot, it is not automatically populated by a NPC. Instead I am required to hire the person for $100. I was in the middle of building a nice shopping center when I got the suspicion that it would not work. I was right. It doesn't make sense for my sim to hire a person for $100 when it is a public lot.
Food stalls seem to populate when they are placed in common areas in the neighborhood. Do I need to assign the lot as lounge or something? Right now it is generic lot. Bars seem to auto-populate when I place it in a lounge or restaurant.

I hope someone can come in and tell us how to make them work without needing the hire.

I do hope that the devs are working on it -- it's not an actual bug just functionality they overlooked.

I have a feeling it is because we can place them and with the festivale - the game places them.

Maybe. I wish it was automatic though.
Agree - it should be especially when we place in a public area.

I also use the UI mod to deduct funds whenever my sims visit a community lot that I think should have a cover charge or membership fee.
The problem with hiring a NPC to run a food cart or the other stuff before CL, is Sims on the lot don't use them as much as we would think and the only one eating from a cafe thing, is my Sim.

This mod works great for auto spawning bartenders and baristas but it does NOT work for food stalls even though it claims to. You still have to hire a food stall worker and pay and only one food stall worker will work at one time so having a food stall court will not work. So frustrating!
Actually I finally got littleMSsams auto spawn workers functioning. I didnt realize you have to prompt them to arrive by clicking on a door. I thought having the lot trait was all that was needed. It works! You can have a fully functioning arts venue with live music, food stalls, baristas, bartenders etc...so very awesome!

I've been playing a lot recently because I'm stuck at home because I have/had coronavirus. So I've really been into sprucing up the current public lots. So I changed one of the parks to make it a teenaged hangout spot. Of course they're going to get hungry so I added the American food stall. I send my twin girls there and no one came to open the stall so I clicked it and up pops hire vendor for $100. Like what.... it's a public lot. Why should they have to hire someone and on top of that pay for whatever food they order.
So I wanted to try something else. Will I have to hire a vendor everytime I send someone there? YES (pulls out hair) Really EA! You can't fix this. The modders sure knows how! I don't use mods, I always have the worst luck with them! UGH!!
