Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.47.51.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats and Dogs Get To Work City Living Parenthood Laundry Day Toddler Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start the science career.
What happens when the bug occurs? In one of my saves there are no coworkers at the science work lot. In another, there is only the receptionist.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see lab technicians so I can successfully complete the tasks of the work day. Ex: Chat with coworkers, ask a coworker for a metal/crystal, etc.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
I have attended this career for several days and on my main save, there are still no coworkers appearing so I cannot successfully complete my work days. I already tried repairing the game, removing my custom content, reinstalling the game, and resetting my Sims 4 folder. I don't know what else to try.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Coworkers are now spawning for the Science career. Yes, they missed you too.
Fixed in Patch 1.52.100
Good Luck

There was another thread in tech here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/Sims-4-Scientist-career-empty/td-p/7175504
The user there solved the issue by repairing the game
If that doesn't help, would you guys be willing to share your saves ?
Could you also all start a new save (no mods/cc) and check if it works there for testing purposes
Good Luck

I was curious and started a new vanilla save to test this. Just arrived at the science lab and everybody is there (4 scientists and the receptionist).
The OP doesn't have Get Famous, what about the others? Perhaps that makes a difference.

I'm also having this problem. I have tried going back multiple days. I have tried starting a new save file. I have tried creating a new Sims 4 file. I do not use mods or cc. I don't know what else to do.
