Try to join a second part time jobWhat happens when the bug occurs? Can't have a second part time jobWhat do you expect to see? Join 2 part time jobs as we can do beforeHave you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure I can have only one part time job. I think it's since Discover University but not sure. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title

I'm the only one with this issue ?

@crinrict I just retested, I can definitely get two part time jobs. I chose retail 9am-1pm and fisherman 9pm-1am and the game let me do it. Like I said in a previous post (wow looking back I worded it really poorly...), these are the jobs that have a drop down that allows you to choose your shift time. If I try to add Diver 5pm-8pm (which has no drop down with different shift times) it doesn't allow it and cancels out the other jobs. I also tried retail 9am-1pm and barista 5am-7am (which has no drop down menu), barista canceled out the previous job. As far as I know, jobs with fixed shifts/no drop down cannot be stacked even when the times do not overlap, jobs with a drop down CAN stack. If this is not by design then we have a bug. But if other people aren't managing to even get the drop down shifts to stack when I can do it just fine then... bigger bug

@Ardnaxela56 I really don't know how it was before cause I never had two part time jobs for my teens (hardly play teens) but from what guides say on this, it was possible before to have two jobs that don't overlap.So it should be able to jobs that are on sat/sun and another that's weekdays for example.Guess @Haka1978 would need to give some insight.If it worked before but isn't now, then it's most probably a bug.

So I've noticed this "problem" when i tried to assign my uni student sim for part time job. Since adult sims can have two part time jobs, i wanted her to work as Barista on weekdays & Manual Laborer on the weekend but when i applied for second job the game won't allow me...I thought that was weird cuz both schedules aren't conflicting at all, then i tried to experiment mixing all the part time jobs & i found that the morning shift weekdays-only jobs conflicted with morning shift weekend-only jobs, same with the night shift counterparts too. Other than that it's fine..These are the jobs that conflicted with each other:- Barista (Mon - Fri / 5 AM - 7 AM) with Manual Laborer (Sat - Sun / 7 AM - 12 PM) - Barista (Mon - Fri / 5 AM - 7 AM) with morning shift Babysitter (Sat-Sun / 7 AM - 1 PM)- Morning shift Fisherman (Mon - Fri / 5AM - 9 AM) with Manual Laborer (Sat - Sun / 7 AM - 12 PM) - Morning shift Fisherman (Mon - Fri / 5AM - 9 AM) with morning shift Babysitter (Sat-Sun / 7 AM - 1 PM)- Night Shift Fisherman (Mon - Fri / 9 Pm - 1 AM) with night shift Babysitter (Sat - Sun / 6 PM - 12 AM)I've tried playing without mods and still have the same results. I'm curious is this a bug or it's always been like this? Like...the game didn't allowed sims to work everyday or what? Feel kinda sad cuz it's ruined my plan. Oh another thing, the Barista job performance didn't progress AT ALL! It's been a week and my sim is still stuck on level 1 with average job performance, never happened before...it's really annoying!

I found you can only have two if you choose the ones with different shift times so that they don't conflict, but I do wish that you could mix and match all of them, not just the ones with different shifts. It'd be nice to have a part time on top of a career too, but I guess that travels more into "suggestions"

Can't have more that one part time job (same time, different days)

@Haka1978 Ah, Yeah, that wasn't clear to me. Sounded like you were talking about now.

I can still mix those though. It seems like it ignores the days - so if something is on a weekend only and not on weekdays, I can't do them both but it works to have two jobs that are not overlapping time wise.

@crinrict My apologies, it looks like it works now, maybe it only bug for barista and babysiter, I can't remember if I tried with other part-time jobs with my other Sims. But I nearly sure that work on previous patch but maybe I wrong.

@Haka1978 Yeah, it looks like it only takes times into consideration but not days. It doesn't sound right to me but that's probably how it has always been.

I'm going to tag this as unsure for now until I can get some info on the days thing.

@navi810 I merged your post with the existing report on this.

Does it work for you if you're not at Uni ?

@navi810 I have the same problem with two of my teen sims. One is enrolled in scouts (Sat/Sun) and I wanted to have her bartend during the rest of the week, but I get the message asking me to quit scouts. The other is in the drama club during the week and I wanted to have her babysit on the weekend, but again I get the prompt asking me to drop the first activity.
I wanted to ask, does this conflict with the scholarship assignment by any chance?
