Can we have some professionalism, PLEASE?
I formed a club to go dancing at venues. One of the members is a 3 star celebrity. We can’t dance because every time the DJ starts to perform they stop after 3 seconds to act ridiculous about a celebrity....
I also see on the forum that pizzas never get delivered, maids never show up but you still get charged...
Also, when my celebrity DJs, nobody dances because another celebrity shows up so everyone walks away to act stupid about that celebrity....
I’m sick of this... I paid money for this content that doesn’t work....

Restaurants is also troubled with this. Works some times, might depend on the staff's personality and mood?
It's normal that regular guests will react to celebrities, but DJs. Hosts and Waiters etc should be acting more professional, one should even expect them to have seen famous people before...
We might need a way to keep celebrities away - is there such a lot trait already?
If you use mods there are some that address the DJ not being affected or any other NPC by celebrities. Which I hope is addressed in the next patch or so.

I created a restaurant and when I play tested it, it was late at night. After midnight, the waitress and host became infected, left the restaurant, ran at top speed through the trailer park and out the other side. They then made a circle and ran back through the trailer park and back to the restaurant, still affected. The waitress went to the bathroom and grabbed a glass of water and marched(?) around the restaurant, then went back to the bathroom and got a second glass in the other hand and marched around again until the infection wore off. After that, everything was fine.
With celebrities, it's arguable the NPC's are performing as they would in real life, also plausible with vampires actually. The bugs mentioned though, are absolutely not the result of bad programming, they're the result of terrible management with zero operational oversight, and an obvious complete lack of a detailed integrated plan for packs. The code for the reaction bugs is performing correctly, it's the data being fed to the code that's the problem, specifically, massively oversimplified context logic that was obviously made to do a specific task, but without any thought to what else was going on in the game.
Stuff like that is absolutely everywhere with this game, the most blatant example is the food calorie system from the base game being ignored in most of the pack content. It's like three numbers a grunt had to fill in, but nobody in charge understood how the system worked, or cared enough about quality to bother.
There's a lot of creativity going on with TS4, but it's all done in crayon on the walls. The failure is in management, it can only be solved by the person at the top actually holding her people accountable for what they produce, demanding they do the same, and spot checking bottom level workers to verify the system is actually working correctly. Nobody likes a hard, demanding, nosy, strict gem of a boss won't let anything slide; but that's the only thing that brings a competent professional result to something like this. What we have is 21st century nobility playing office politics, and spending all day tweeting how awesome they are, EA is a publicly traded company after all.
Where the heck did you get that information?The Designers and programmers who worked at Vampires was at The Sims 4 Team. The only content in which an external team is being developed is the hairs and the OST.
Back to the topic, I do feel sorry for those who experience this bug. I haven't experienced it that much, only when there is a specific quirk that a celeb had. There is a quirk in which it can be developed by posing for pictures. If a sim had that, then that bug might have happen. So far there is only one NPC with that quirk.
Currently in my household I play a group of Teen Dancers in my 3rd Generation(GT club). Mostly there are Celebs who come and damce at the Night clubs, however the only sims that pretty much dont dance are the paparazi. The DJ, and the Bartender is still doing their job. Some fans when a celeb arrove will ask for autograph,etc., but after that, those fans will join the dance floor.
Everything is pretty much always normal in my game, unless Throne Bailey(Spelling might be wrong) is at the nightclub, since he had that quirk I am talking about.

OP saids the 3-star celebrity is one of the club members
When you say infected, what do you mean by that?

Strangerville infected. Running at top speed with their heads bent backwards.
It adds a lot trait where fans and paparazzi aren't allowed on the lot. I think that regular sims would still react, but at least it would reduce fans who swoon over your celebrity constantly.
@Simpkin Could you please link the mod that you know of? I would appreciate it

@MLadyAzzera I don't know if simpkin is talking about the lot trait mod or not, but this one will help with your issues too it seems.

it's a lot trait mod. Celebs go undercover. You have to set the lot traits yourself to the ones you don't want celebs at, as celebs.
Thank you for this! I will definitely try this mod

I think it would be better for celebrities not to show up unless you have a lot trait for them to show up ( like cat and dog hang out.... they could have celebrity hangout). That way you wouldn’t have to waste a lot trait.
I don’t use mods, so I do hope they address this issue.
Omgoodness thank you so much! Exactly what I was looking for. Yay!

Are you suggesting it can reach other neighborhoods?

Infected sims can travel like any other sim you aren't playing. But, to clarify, my restaurant was located in Strangerville where some sims are already infected at the start of your game. I guess I just got lucky(?) and hired two infected sims.
