[IL] Odd jobs menu is blank

I've had this issue before with events being blank but cant remember what mod was the culprit. Best thing to do is create a Mods folder outside your sims folder game like, in your personal music file or something, somewhere you will remember where. Move all your mods and CC's out of the sim folder into your newly created Mods folder in your music folder. Make sure "ALL" mods and CC's come out. I had a rogue tshirt CC file cause issues one time. Then start adding them back one by one.  Open the game after each add and see what one triggers your issue. Also, we have had a few big patches over the last few weeks. Might be good to make sure your mods are updated.

Last, Make sure you don't have any mods or CC's accidently placed in another file by accident. 

Past this, i'm going with a corrupt file and you might need to try a repair. 

HI @ImMendota 

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

• Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
• Tray Folder
• Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
• Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
• Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
• ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
• Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Well, I can try these things, but I run a very clean system. I disabled my mods and tried a new save and the problem persisted. I guess the next step is to try repairing the game, or just live without odd jobs. Everything else runs fine. It just seems to be an odd bug, and I wondered if anyone else has had it.

Yes, all sims in all the houses I tried. I have 72 households, haven't tried them all. But the issue happens with a new save as well as without mods. I read another post where a user had the same issue and it fixed itself, so maybe I just have to wait. Everything else in my game is smooth as glass, and I have no issues.

Thank you for your assistance. I will try the repair option later. I had not done it yet due to multiple reports of it taking a long time, and I wanted to enjoy the game with the new packs. If that does not work out, I will send the save.

Hi! I know you wrote this almost 4 years ago but what’s the family edit screen? I’m having this problem myself and I’m not sure what you meant. Thanks 🙂))
