    I had 2 sims in my household. One was in the Undertaker career et the other one is a writer. Both were unable to take time off until my sim in the Undertaker career quit his job to join the Grim Reaper carrier. After this, both were able to take time off. So in my case it is related to the Undertaker career.

    Had it happening few times , but than it turned out that I wanted to take a day off on a day when my sim didn’t work.

    than taking vacation is not available from the phone option  on an active work day it should .

    have you checked on a day when your sim should be working ?

    Same here, Undertaker (4) and cannot take a vacation day although I have 9 banked. Couldn't earlier in the career either, but I thought it was just a weird glitch but now that she promoted and I went to take one again the option is still gone and I've ended up here lol.
