- both sims are in new careers. (So there are no townies in those careers, as townies only get base game careers unless you make your own and put them in new careers before you townify them)
- both sims got a hobby-based chance card at work.
Unfortunately, neither of these are true for me (but I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this). Mine was a journalism career, which had already been used extensively in my other hoods. I am, however, playing in the Desiderata hood, which had not yet been used. And I haven't received a single hobby card yet.
The weirdest thing to me is that it was a teen NPC instead of an adult. And now he's stuck in some weird half-dead limbo.
Journalism came with Seasons and thus counts as a "new career" since Kyna said townies only get base game careers. So you have at least one thing in common.

Don't know if this has been mentioned or not...but on my lots with their own cars... each time a sim leaves or comes home from work/school I get pretty much a stoppage of time or freeze for about 10-15 seconds which really annoys me
I have the exactly same problem. This happens even in the vanilla game, so it's definitely EAxian issue. It's driving me nuts!

Brandi (adult) came home from work with a teen npc (paper girl) - she is in the Athletic career. She currently takes the coach to work if that helps anyone. (Npcs are not supposed to have jobs since they are already employed).
The hobby lots seem to have sims that aren't there, when my sim arrives there are only 4 sims on the lot (I think that includes the instructor), if I click on a career reward more sims names appear in the menus then are visibly present on the lot. I can often hear sims getting 'in the zone' but cannot see them.
Other visitors to hobby lots don't come and go, there are a couple when you arrive, but once they leave there is nobody but your playable and the instructor - surely this cannot be right?
Some npc types no longer appear in the phonebook - is this related to the npcs coming home from work thing somehow? This includes the mail carrier and the newspaper delivery teen.
KatEnigma:
Oh yeah, I'm definitely getting that freeze whenever anyone comes and goes. It's VERY annoying. Especially since right now I have 3 Sims that come home from work at the same time, and it freezes before the salary pop up for each one of them separately! Grrrr!
My Sims are getting out of the pool normally.
If you can use "Macro", you have a hack. Macrotastics is one. Make sure it's the latest version- Pescado updates constantly after new expansions are released. You also might want to run Clean Installer to see what other hacks you have.
Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't it used to be that you didn't get newspaper deliveries on (owned) vacation lots? I'm getting paper and magazine deliveries, which is kinda annoying. The mailman is always walking past, but then kind of vibrates before moving on- he doesn't actually leave any mail, just clutters up the sidewalk for awhile.The maid I hired is also the exact same one they have at home- mohawk and all. :D

I think you did get newspapers on owned vacation lots in Seasons, and the mailman does come by, but doesn't leave any bills. Been a while since I sent one of my sims to their lot, so I can't remember 100% sure, though.
