The Sims™ 4

The Sims™ 4

The bartender isn't working...
When an active Sim visits a bar or lounge,Bartenders are now spawned outside of the lot and are stuck there.
This applies to default bar lots as well as bars and lounges downloaded from the gallery.
I can talk to the bartender, but "place order" is not displayed.
I waited 8 hours in-game time, but it didn't work.Bartenders are on strike at all non-residential establishments with bar counters.Why...(´д`;)

What I tried to solve the problem.
◆Remove all MOD → No change (despair...)
◆Uninstall and restart → No change
◆I have researched and heard that someone who had a similar problem solved it by turning off the “GET FAMOUS” fame setting in the game options, but I don't have the GET FAMOUS pack so I can't solve the problem.
◆make the bartender who spawned and doesn't move leave, a new bartender will spawn immediately, but he also doesn't move.
◆You can't "hire" by clicking on the bar counter. It says "You're already hired on the lot."
◆Relocate the bar counter in build mode → No change
◆Tried using cheats to reset the bartender's objects and the bar counter, but no change.
◆Do not select parcel characteristics → No change

I always clear the cache before trying. Is there anything else I can do...?
and In areas with multiple bar counters, in addition to the upright bartenders, plainclothes bartenders spawn and they enter the area but do not work. What the heck is this??
I don't want to give up yet. Because I want Sim to have a nice weekend or a fun drink with friends.
Does anyone know a good way to solve this?

My pack: Seasons/Get To Work/Get Together/City Living/Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack/Crystal Creations Stuff Pack/Backyard Stuff/Romantic Garden Stuff/Holiday Season Pack

There is a bug report for it: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Bartender-doesn-t-tend-bar/td-p/7551658

#7 suggested a work-a-round but edited their reply that it doesn’t work anymore. You could still test it. They ask too for saves, because they can’t reproduce this bug on their end.

I normally don’t play with bars or hire bartenders, in the rare case which I visit a bar they always work fine.

I have no clue, but have you tried turn off your packs 1 by 1? Just to be sure? Anyways, following this for info.

Them Bones,thank you very much!

I did not think of a way to pull out the packs one at a time and try them out!
I was relieved to find that the mod was affecting this problem, but I also considered the possibility that a particular pack was affecting the mod, so I pulled out the packs one at a time as you said, and verified that the packs were not affecting the mod.
Thanks to you, I now have another method to try when I have a problem.
I wanted to thank you for the great advice!

Xeriath,I appreciate you!
I didn't know this website existed.
The information you provided solved the problem.

The cause was a mod that controls autonomy.
Sorry for talking about unofficial mods, but I think someone might have the same problem, so I'll write down how I solved it...

I use “MC Command Center (MCCC)” mod.
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Bartender-doesn-t-tend-bar/td-p/7551658
Reading #7 comment, I realized this was an autonomous behavior issue.
And I remembered that I had previously used MCCC's “Autonomy Scan” to disable “work at the bar” autonomy for a bar counter I had set up in my home.
I sent the Sim home, enabled the autonomous scanning setting from my home PC, placed a bar counter, enabled the "Work at bar" autonomous setting and went to the bar where the problem was occurring.
Finally、When I go out to any bar or lounge, the bartender who used to spawn outside the lot is now working at the bar counter inside the lot.

What I don't understand is that I disabled the "Work at the bar" autonomy at the bar counter at home a long time ago and there were no problems, but recently it started affecting the autonomous behavior of the bartender when I'm out.
Also, if it was the effect of the autonomous scan, why did the bartender not work even after deleting MCCC? (Maybe the MCCC settings remained in the cache?)
I still have questions, but right now my Sim is having fun drinking with friends at the bar.

I appreciate your help so much, Thank you very much!!!

I don't have the High School Years pack so I don't know how to solve the problem, but if you're using a mod that controls autonomy like me, maybe my method will solve the problem.
I hope your Sims have a wonderful tea time...

Hey, if you get annoyed that Sims use the bar autonomously you could use Simularity’s mod. It’s named Don’t Auto Make Bar Drinks and should not cause any issue with bartender.

https://simularity.cc/mods/tuning/dont-do-that/

Alternative would be thirsttweak from bienchen which stop the autonomy behavior from all Sims which doesn’t have maxed mixology skill.

This is just what I was looking for‼
I was able to solve the bartender problem, but was afraid that if I put a bar counter in my home, Sim would create a lot of drinks and the game of tag would start again where I would stop them.
I tried Simularity’s mod immediately and had no problems with the bartender, and Sim is not interested in the bar counter I put up at home.
Thank you so much for sharing such great information.
I really appreciate your kindness.

It would if I did; strange enough it's the only place affected, so I'd guess it's something else but can't really pin it down.

Having this issue and I've also done everything I can. It seems to only be happening at one bar which is so odd, the rest in my world work fine. Super weird... Too bad it was the one bar I took ages to redesign LMAO
