"Check in at Park" not progressable

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.71.86.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Eco Lifestyle, Get Famous, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get to Work, Parenthood, Dine Out, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Nifty Knitting, Laundry Day, Vintage Glamour
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the Stylist branch of the Style Influencer career, and work from home, to receive the "Check in at park" task.
What happens when the bug occurs? None of the stylist interactions at the park complete the task, so it's impossible for my sim to progress on their career every time this task shows up in the Work From Home tasks.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to use the stylist social interactions on sims after asking to see their Athletic outfit, and have the task show up as completed.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

I like playing the stylist career and working from home, however this issue keeps getting in the way of my sim progressing. Whenever they get the "Check in at park" task, nothing I do works to make it mark off as completed. I ask to see their athletic outfits, and then use the stylist social interactions, but no matter what I do, the task never gets completed.

    Well, perhaps this is a legitimate bug for you.  I know I have successfully done this at both Pupperstone Park and Myshuno Meadows, and my friend has successfully done it at Magnolia Blossom park in Willow Creek. 

    If you're not averse to mods and cheating, you can use the UI Cheats Extension to mark the task complete whenever you get it.  I've resorted to that for my mermaid conservationist whenever she's assigned the "snorkel" task.  If you're unwilling to use a mod and your Sim has enough satisfaction points, they can buy "Professional Slacker" and just not take the performance hit (but still not get paid) when they fail to complete the task.  (If you're not willing to use a mod but are willing to cheat, you can cheat them enough satisfaction points to buy it.) 

    I would not spend all day in the park, either.  I would show up, invite a friend, discuss fashion with them, and, if it failed to complete in a park where other people have successfully completed the task, maybe try one other park before giving my Sim something better to do with their time.  (Sorry, that kind of stinks, but you know, you did your best.)  My feeling on cheats is that I should legitimately do my Sims' work assignments, etc., but if it bugs out cheating is perfectly fine. 

    (Like, last night my Actress was assigned the task "get into hair and makeup" but no makeup person ever showed up and the chair was unclickable.  Should her job performance go down because the game bugged out?  I don't think so.  I paused and searched the lot for a makeup person, tried to click the chair a million times, etc., and finally just used UI Cheats to mark that task done.)

    There are a lot of things I really like about this career--the various high-level skill requirements, work from home, being able to fix horribly dressed townies, etc.--but there are also poorly phrased and buggy things about it, too.

    I wish I could do more to help--I know how frustrating it is--but I'm just another player and don't work for EA.

    Discussion fashion is the only interaction that seems to count with the Check-in options

    I’ve tried doing at the willow creek park and it just doesn’t work. Went to oasis park and it didn’t work either. No other worlds but the work that is blank. So I mean

  • Bom, não sei se está precisando de ajuda ainda, mas vamos lá. 

    Primeiramente você tem que ir no parque onde criou o seu sim, exemplo se criou ele em Oasis Springs então vai no parque de lá, procura uma pessoa que esteja correndo, ou se não encontrar parar qualquer sim também da. 

    Você vai até ele, dá um um olá 😚 

    E pede pra ver traje atlético, o sim vai trocar de roupa em seguida vc discute moda, ou elogia o estilo. 

    E espera um pouco que vai completar a missão.
