The Sims 3 Showtime: "Perform for tips" won't work

    This bug is usually due to a corrupt work outfit.


    Take your Sim to the dresser and give her a new work outfit. If the Sim already has more than one, delete the extra ones instead.

1. I created the sim (I never really downloaded anything from exchange);

2. It's possible that I have a few mods (even if I can remember what they are) and I do have custom content in the game;

3. I'm playing at Sunset Valley;

4. There's a total of 5 Sims in the household.

I just noticed that performing gigs isn't working neither... When the time to perform the show came and I tried to set up the stage, nothing happened. By this I mean that the Sim will go up the stage and start the action to set it up, but then the buying mode won't show up and it's like the Sim was reset and nothing else happens.

I remember something similar also happened before: I had a sim working as a ghostbuster and suddenly she wasn't able to capture ghosts anymore which makes it impossible for her to do her job at all...

    It really was a problem with the outfit. I just changed my Sim into his career outfit and everything went back normal - he can now perform for tips and perform gigs.

    Thanks! 🙂
