Re: Action Progress Bar does not move while in activity table (as a child)

Any chance on getting any help with my issue listed above? Basically makes the game unplayable unless I want to start ALL OVER and I don't.  I have too much time and money invested in the family I have made and I'm trying to get the trophy for Alpha Kids which I can't do if my ONLY CHILD can't have a career. 

So please, if this is not posted in the correct area please let me know where to post and I will repost.

I also managed to get a video of the issues I'm describing but have no idea where to post it as I can only post screen shots....

@crinrictHmmm not sure how to move them to a different house but my granddaughter will be here this evening (it's 8am where I am now) and she can show me how to do that and we'll test it. I'll jump on and try the jungle gym. (I still fill stupid over that one lol)
Thank you again for your patience and trying to help. I REALLY appreciate it!

Edit...yes playing on the jungle gym at the park passed that milestone. Whew. Still stuck on the other one until later.

@Smkymtbear Yay, granddaughter to the rescue! That's so awesome :D If you want to give it a try, you can use your Sim's phone to move your household. It's shown under the Travel options. Click the Move Household option and the game will go to a map screen where you can select a new home for your Sims. When you have finished your testing you can exit the game without saving.

Good luck and I hope you have a fun & safe day playing Sims with your family :D

@crinrictOkay. Moved into a new house. Same problem. That green circle just will not move. He's inspired and he draws. It just don't get counted all though he did, for the first time, get a "haven't created in a while" moodlet but it was gone and he was just inspired when I sat him down to draw. Boo. Where do we go now? This is driving me batty!! The mom and dad are almost complete 10's in everything. I really don't want to start over if it can be helped. Do you think that I accidentally glitched the kid when he flew to creativity 10 before I even really started on his aspirations? Just a theory. Can y'all think of anything else I can do or try that might fix this?
I really do thank y'all for taking the time to help me. I really like the game and it's nice to have forums where you can actually get help from nice people. 🙂

@Smkymtbear  Does it help if the parent goes to the child to "Encourage" or the child uses the action "Call over to see". 
Both of these boost the inspired moodlet and might be helpful.

I was going to ask if the child was any kind of an occult (alien, vampire. mermaid) but it looks like you only have base game.

HI @Smkymtbear 

Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox,, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

Well hmmmm.

I decided to delete "Ben" from the family and make a new child to take his place (gosh that sounds bad lol) to see what happens. 

Exactly the same thing. This new "Ben" can't/won't finish drawing 2 pics either.

All his skills were at 0, he was in 'inspired' mood, sat him down, told him to draw. He did but the green circle would not move. He sat there until I finally told him to stop. Picture was finished but no credit for it. 

I am now completely out of ideas. It seems this particular family is bugged :'( 

Any other suggestions? Anyone?

Thanks again for all the help!

Future reference:  This interaction is on the Friendly conversation menu.  
I always pause to be able to find it quicker.

These actions result in this moodlet. 




Disclaimer: I have all the packs but these actions are available with base game.
Hopefully Crinrict will find something useful in your save to resolve your issue.

@crinrictWell at least you know I'm not crazy. Something really is wrong. I guess I'll just have to accept the fact my boy will not be an artist and move on. I'm not about to start over. I moved into a new house during all this trying things and I really like it lol

I can't thank you all enough for the tips and tricks and hints and help you have given to try to help me fix this. You're very appreciated.

I'm not going to give up completely. I'll keep trying every once in a while and if y'all think of something else I can try just give me a holler.

Thank you again!!

I just tried to reply to this thread but was unable to:

I am having the same problem!  Child is inspired, goes to table, draws and draws and draws and the little green of the circle never moves.

I'm also having this same issue. I've tried on two different households. With both kids they were inspired and the green progress thing didn't move. I use no mods and It's the activity table that came with the base game. I just started playing Sims 4 a week or two ago and haven't been able to complete this task.
