Re: Stylist career issues

@kretorrbwly  Most of the tasks you list seem very situational or specific to certain sims.  For example, the rebel outfit is for teenagers, and I'm guessing the junior one is for children.  For engagement or newlyseds' wardrobes, you'd probably have to find a newly engaged or married sim.  If no such sims exist, the jobs probably won't be available.

Your sim can also chat up another sim and eventually solicit a job, which could help with obtaining a particular task.

It's also possible that the tasks are only available to certain career levels, as happens with other types of assignments, but it's been so long since I've played a stylist that I don't remember either way.  The easy test would be to use a mod to change your sim's career level and then see what's available; you could quit without saving afterwards.

    @puzzlezaddict I know that the tasks are situational, but many sims have died since I maxed stylist career (like I said, 24 weeks) and did't get the "Homage and mourning" even once. Also, there are children and around town, still I never get the "Junior clothing" nor "Rebel wardrobe", nor do the tasks appear as available by using the testingcheatsenabled cheat. So Im not sure thats enough...

    About soliciting, it's done using the portfolio - meaning, a stylist shows a sim all the tasks completed, so that sim may choose one of them. Which means, I could never get a task I haven't completed yet via soliciting.

    And about changing the career level - I went through all of the levels, the options to trigger the tasks using testingcheatsenabled are kind of the same...

    @kretorrbwly  I always thought that your sim could offer other types of jobs than the ones in the portfolio, but again it's been a very long time since I played that profession.

    It might be better if you asked on another forum, one that has more active users than this one.  Since you're willing to use mods to trigger the tasks, you could ask at NRaas: maybe someone there knows another way to open up those assignments, or at least why they'd be blocked.

    @puzzlezaddict I tried to log into the sims 3 forum but I couldn't, it says that I have an account (this account) but my password is incorrect, even after I changed my password, so I'm locked out of there I guess...

    @kretorrbwly  That's a separate issue, one that might be fixable with some intervention on EA's end.  (I've reported it, and hopefully there's a way to address the problem.)  But for now, you can try making a different account, linked to a different email, or else posting on a different site like the NRaas forum.
