Hi Simers,
the game uses played Sims in roles again, f.e. for the bouncer. It´s similar to the Vet problem we had with C&D. (The Vet should be fixed since a patch but as it seems, I personally didn´t saw that because I wasn´t in a pet clinic until now, but other players told me it´s broken again with Fame)
Maybe it´s by design that our Sims are used as bouncers then I don´t like it (they aren´t used for other roles too), or it´s a bug, then fix it please.
Is it known for which roles played Sims can be used from the game?

I don´t understand why it´s so hard to tell the game, don´t use Sims marked as played? We know that it could work.

The one I remember (he is a vet and owns a clinic) is unemployed until now. I will give this a try and report but it can take while, yesterday one of my NPCs was picked as bouncer.
EDIT: What about elders? Did they need a registration too? Yesterday I had a "NPC elder bouncer"!

The bouncers in my game are my played household vampires.

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? latest
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just play the game.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sims are being hired as DSV bouncer, etc
What do you expect to see? Well I saw my played sim are hired as a Bouncer. Problem is, this ruins my immersion because my sim "have his/her job" or "rich enough to do other thing" or "are stay-at-home mom/dad". Some registerd to "Ministry of Labor". These voluntary jobs such as this Bouncer and Market-related vendor, shall not be picked from played household because it just ruin my sim's outfit, time, inventory, and immersion. I politely ask you - EA developers - to stop picking my played sim for any volunteer work, and suggest you to use unused NPC (unplayed sim and not-in-world NPC) instead.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
