Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.55.105.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? CL, CD, S, GF, IL, OR, SD, DO, V, PH, JA, SV, PPSP, SSP, CKSP, MHSP, RGSP, KSPS, BYSP, BNSP, FSP, MFPSP, MSP
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Any venue where there is a bar and/or a DJ station. If a celebrity appears, or any Sim does something that other Sims will watch (like group dance or dance battle) then the service Sims leave their posts to watch/cheer/whatever.
What happens when the bug occurs? This happens whenever something unusual is going on nearby, like a celebrity Sim appearing. It is especially irritating when the service Sim is *supporting* the action, as when they stop the music to watch a dance battle - thus ending the dance battle because there is no longer music playing.
What do you expect to see? I expect service Sims to be more persistent in staying at their jobs. Maybe if a Sim catches on fire - that would be reason to run and see what's happening, but stopping your DJ because a group dance is happening or a celebrity Sim happens by? C'mon!
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? Neutral/Not Sure
My Sims never go to bars or clubs anymore because of this problem. It's not fun when the music stops every 30 seconds and then it takes forever for the service SIm to get back to it.

Solved! Go to Solution.
September 2022
DJs and Mixologists no longer leave their booth unattended when a Celebrity attempts to build up Fame through “Perform <scene> for Tips” or Dance Battles. “Starve your distractions; feed your focus.”
Fixed in Patch 1.91.205/1.64
If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.
Good Luck

I wasn't entirely sure where to post this, but the information thread led me here so I hope this is the right place for it!
Whenever I bring my famous sims to dance in a nightclub, the DJ will stop playing music and instead cheer on my dancing sim, who at that point will stop dancing because there's no music to dance to anymore. Having my sim hire a DJ themselves doesn't fix the issue. I don't think it's a bug, but more something the devs might not have considered to become an issue. I'm not sure at what point of celebrity-hood the DJ will stop playing at the booth to gloat at my sim, but I think it's when they get to B-Lister status. Maybe even before that.
Anything I could try to fix this, apart from staying away from nightclubs? My sim is a dance machine, so that's obviously not something I want to do. :P

I’m surprised they haven’t addressed this huge issue!

Until EA address the issue there's a mod called lesscelebreact that fixes it.

I said something about this when get famous was release. when celebrity Sim walks into a nightclub the dj will just stop playing and watch the celebrity Sim dance until the celebrity Sim stops. its old and annoying.. when my Sim dj, she'll do the same thing. she'll stop and watch the celb sim.. I been asking for a fix.
