I am dealing with the issue of not being able to finish a video game. When I click to "continue making video game", a box pops up immediately asking me to name it. Returning to the programming menu, there is still a "continue making video game" prompt. Unlike the original post, I get paid royalties for every game I name, but she got no programming experience for any of the games.
History - My legacy sim founder got interrupted at some point from making a video game. At the time she was not maxed out in programming; I *think* she was somewhere around level 7, but can't be certain. I didn't have her attempt to finish it for several days, when I attempted to have her finish it, it started this loop of naming and paying royalties, but never completing the game. She has been able to hack, make mobile game and practice programming with no issues, and leveled to max on programming, but the video game naming loop persists. She was a young adult at the time, and in the tech guru career path but had not chosen a branch when the issue started. She is now an elder at the top of the start up entrepreneur path and maxed programming. I assume eventually when she dies I won't have the glitch any more.
I've tried clearing cache and repairing game several times, no effect. I have another sim in the same game who will be attempting to level programming, so will report back if it happens with him. I have a different save game with a sim with the same traits (geek, genius and perfectionist), and never had this happen to her. However, I'm unsure if I ever interrupted her at the end of programming a video game. Base game, never used mods or cc, added romantic garden sometime but I don't remember if this happened before or after the addition. It did start, for me, after the November 2018 GF patch, version 1.47.51.1020
