Having new issue I believe has just arisen since I installed the latest patch. My Sims no longer have the option to take a Vacation Day through their phones. I first noticed it with children and teens not being able to take Vacation Day from school or their part-time jobs. but many adults throughout multiple households also no longer have the option to take a Vacation Day. 'Take Family Leave' and 'Call in Fake Sick' options still present, but not Vacation Day.

  • The following careers have added the “Take Vacation Day” option, yay!

    ○ Gardener (Seasons)
    ○ Military (Strangerville)
    ○ Lifeguard for Teens and Conservationist (Island Living)
    ○ Law, Education, and Engineer (Discover University)
    ○ Civil Designer (Eco Lifestyle).

    Editor Russkii note: I didn’t want to add each line in each pack for this fix, it would have looked weird and robotic so that is why I chose to do one bullet point for all in this section.



    Fixed in Patch 1.69.57/ 1.35

  • Hello everyone,

    Just to add more information... Same issue here.

    I have a family of three sims (two adults, one baby) and both adults could not take a day off.

    One of them is a Medic (from Get To Work) and other is a Critic Reviewer.

    Note: I don't use any MODS or any modification in the game.

    Ive played a 8 sim household and had one of the sims a lifeguard, I noticed it then but never used the days anyway so it was whatever, that was before I used any CC, dont know why the lifeguard cant use any but all the other ones look like they can, havent went through them all, just the one the teens are able to do.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Under the Cell Phone Menu for travelling.
    What happens when the bug occurs? My SIMS have accrued vacation days available under the Career/work info menu. But they can't redeem them anymore because the option is now translucent and unclickable for all of them under the Cell Phone menu.
    What do you expect to see? "Take vacation" should be available to click on, not a clear un-clickable option. I was able to select this prior to the update.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
    Please describe the patch or change you made. November 10 update

    SIMs can't take vacation anymore.
