[FEEDBACK] [GTW] Don't get the option to control sim in active career

My sim has the active career in the police. i have run trough the lessons on the active career on the lot of the career but after a few days i don't get an option to go to that lot anymore when the sim is due for work. The sim goes to work by himself and comes back when his shift ends.

I have no mods installed and no CC.

    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.

    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)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • 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.

    Ok, I got everything back, in proper working order, EXCEPT, that I can't place hot tubs, in game, now!

    In my experience this happens if you have

    • A mod
    • Switch over to a family in an active career. The first day it's usually not possible to join even if you switch before start time

    Does anyone see this outside these two things ?

  • I'm not able to join them for work either. Initially it was just my lab tech i couldn't join but now It's my police too, very annoying especially seeming the only reason i paid for the pack was so I could go to work with them. i like having that as an option. I hope they fix it soon as it'd a real waste of money when something doesn't do the thing you bought it for. like buying a vacuum cleaner that doesn't suck is useless. :/ I have no mods, sims aren't pregnant, I only bought the game last week so don't know what the problem could be.

    HI @SAVILEA23 

    this is a really old thread so this is not an active bug.

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

    If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox,, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.
