Re: Cannot check in by phone - Social Medial Career work task

Since the original post mentions testing San Myshuno, I sent him to Casbah Gallery and the check in option is working there too.

Just checking something here...

Are you at a venue? This means a non-residential lot. You cannot check-in if you're at your own home or someone else's house. It has to be on a community lot.

It has never appeared at residential lots before and isn't supposed to. I know it's a "work from home" task but that is just a phrase - they just mean "working not at the office" - you still have to go visit another lot to be able to check in.

    @simvasion That is fantastic news! Thank you for sharing your results. 

    I am in game right now and though I do not see the same option I do see one that might (?) work. I am waiting for the task to show up to see if it works. 

    In answer to your question about location. That is a very good point. I did travel to Casbah Gallery and the gym in San Myshuno. I also traveled to venues in Oasis Springs and Willow Creek. 

    In my test today I caught some screen captures of the available options. 

    Time to test my theory.

    At other levels of social media, the "Check in" becomes "Shout out" (I think? I'm just going by memory) and "Announce Appearance". Can't remember if there's another one.

    Of course the task has not shown up again to test. I noticed two status update options.

    One to post a status update at ((name of venue)). 

    I have to take a real life break for now.

    I will play the second save to see if I can get the option to show up.

    @crinrict  @simvasion 
    Eureka!

    Sim A - Darius born in game was recruited into the Social Media career starting at level 3 via a job offer.
    Level 4 - Internet Personality Branch "Status update from venue" seems to replace the check-in option.
    Work tasks are focused on jokes and mischief.
    --
    Sim B - Steven created in CAS and started at level 1 in the Social Media career.
    The check-in option finally showed on his phone but the work task did not.
    --
    Added another Sim to second (Steve) save in another household.
    Sim C - Nancy created in CAS and has been on the gallery {not played and has zero skills} for a while.
    Started at level 1 in the Social Media career.
    When she reached the second level of the career the check-in option became available.
    The work task was able to be completed at level 2 of the career.
