[ECO] [CoL] NPC Sims not filling regular positions

[EmeraldLaura]

@WingedSnek and thats the big Problem i have with this Bug Section! If a Bug like this shows up it should always be fixed as soon as possible, no matter how many people push the 'me too' button... those are gamebreaking bugs that have to be fixed within 24h after showing up!
the same with all other Bugs that had been mentioned since yesterday that break the game of course!

and there are gamestudios where this works extremely good so its not a question of is it possible or not. you call that SUPPORT

[WingedSnek]

@EmeraldLaura Yeah, I agree. There are some bugs, which have been around for years now like the visual ones in laptop mode, which in fact did affect a lot of people, but they still are not fixed. I just wanted to give you a small heads up, because I assume that EA will need a while, probably until the next patch, until our bug here is fixed.

[EmeraldLaura]

@WingedSnek yes, at least its marked as Open now

I noticed this too. The bartender in Cottage Living is someone totally different than the lady what is there in my previous save files. Mine has a random Sim in the position on a new save file.

I rely on the comforting continuity of the core npc sims being in my games, as I am sure many others do. Now however, since the patch released in preparation for the High School pack, names and occupations have changed on some of these core sims. I haven't even hit every world/neighborhood to see how many others have changed, but I am particularly concerned with the ones changed in Cottage Living. The pub owner, Sara Scott, no longer owns the pub, which made my errand for her disappear. And who doesn't love the Crumplebottoms? Well, that's not their last name anymore, and Agnes is far too nice now. Kim Goldblum no longer owns and runs the grocery stand, so that errand is gone as well. Was this something that was missed, some setting changed within the patch itself? I shouldn't be sad, it's a game after all, but I really am. It just doesn't have the same feel now. Can this be explained, please?

@Hawksdaughter It's a bug.

I merged your thread with the bug report.

[Hawksdaughter]

Thank you. Lucky me, this bug will haunt me and several of my sims that are in the same 'world'.

Country Kitchen Courtyard Oasis Holiday Celebration Outdoor Retreat Perfect Patio Realm of Magic Get Together Get to Work Tiny Living Blooming Rooms Cool Kitchen Get Famous Snowy Escape Eco Lifestyle Industrial Loft Cottage Living Jungle Adventure My Wedding Stories Parenthood Dining Out Island Living High School Years Spa Day Fitness Stuff Vibing Streamer Gear Digital Content
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Travel to Henford on Bagley, to Finchwick. I keep having different shopkeepers in the grocery stall, and different pub owners at the bar/pub. Have had (listed as) pub owners sitting and socializing at the bar that is tended by another. The grocery vendor changes with every visit to town. As for the multiselect in personal inventory, it happens every time I try to sell, so I can only do a single item at a time.
What happens when the bug occurs? Vendors change every time my sim goes to the bar or crocery vendor. If I try to sell multiple items using multiselect, I lose the items and get no simoleons.
What do you expect to see? I expect Sara Scott as the owner of the pub to be there at her job, and Kim Goldbloom at her grocery stall. I expect simoleons for items sold from personal inventory.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. the latest patch, date 7/26 I think?

‌

and now I also have the multiple shopkeepers, owners, and other titled sims showing up.  (new) Also, multiselect is not working correctly to sell multiples of garden produce from personal inventory, takes the produce but gives zero simoleons. Have to sell one at a time.
