Hello, 

So I just installed the new Sims 4 Dream Home Decorator Pack and I can't complete any gig since the sims (living on the lot where the gig is) leaves when my sim knocks on the door. And the gig can't be completed. If I cancel the gig the sims living on the lot return immediately. 

Please help!

    @annabaanan To be sure: You waited until the actual time of the gig and not just travel there ?

    That goes to everyone really.

    This is how it should work

    1- You accept a gig.
    2. The gig usually starts at 9 AM the next day.
    3. An hour before you get a popup stating that your gig will start in an hour
    4. At time of the gig you are automatically taken to the house if you choose to do so, you can also send them alone.
    5. Knock on the door.
    6. Folks should be in

    I played quite a few gigs and never had an issue so just wanting to make sure it's not that

    Also, please keep bug reports on topic. If you have other issues, make your own thread (test without mods beforehand).

    Please use this thread if you don't get a pop-up: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Sim-gets-no-option-to-go-to-dream-decorator-job/td-p/10394468

    So I haven't been able to fully use the new game pack because every time I select a gig and go to the clients home at the gig time, the clients will either disappear (like they are leaving the lot) or not be there at all. So I am unable to talk to them to get their style preferences or call them back in any way. I tried uninstalling my mods and restarting the game and everything.

    I'm having the same issues as you. I have tried arriving early and late as I'm never given a pop up for when its time to arrive. In addition to the clients disappearing the moment I use the "knock on door" action, the completed goals show that I never visited the clients lot.. even after winging it and completing a gig. (I had to wing it because there was no client to talk to about what to do)


    I also tried restarting the game and when I came back the screen gave me two pop ups, the first saying my gig had begun and that it was time to go, and the second saying i had failed it basically. Just went to my second gig and same thing happened.. ☹️

    PS. I don't use mods on my game. I play on PC with all expansions, game, and stuff packs.

    I have a similar yet opposite issue. Clients are home, we discuss likes/dislikes. But all the rooms are empty and she can’t walk through the door to get inside to take before pictures. I can only see the furniture in build mode.

    @MaeDae9222 

    Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game
    If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.

    @ChristelClear04 Please make your own thread for different issues. Make sure you test on a modless game before making a report.

    @Emzoidify 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    EDIT

    If anyone one has no pop-up appearing for the gig when it's time, please use this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/A/A/m-p/10392740/jump-to/first-unread-message

    @Emzoidify I have exactly the same issues and I also removed all of my mods. So disappointing. I was so excited for this pack!
