[FIXED] [DHD] Gig completion pop up not appearing

Still a problem for me. I completed the job, revealed it to all 5 clients, and now I'm stuck in their house well past the job end time, with the job still active. I'm playing Rags to Riches, so I need the cash from this job. T_T

I will fill out this bug report twice, since I tried on TWO several computers with different infomations to know.

The first installation, where I had these problems, is on a microsoft surface tablet, which is not made for gaming, but its graphic is quite okay. But there was Sims installed with other gamepacks before and I forgot to delete the old installation before installing the new one. Maybe this made problems.

Then I had serveral UCC in the mods folder, and also tried 1 or 2 mods (e.g. UI Cheat Mod). I also downloaded really much from the gallery.

While playing for several weeks I found -at least- 5 different bugs, which appeared regularly and often (with mods and also after removing them!):
I am not sure if I should create a bug report for each of them? I list them up, because I hope maybe there is some relation to the home-design-career bug.

1) Red border and game paused when returning from build/buy mode back to live mode. (Of course, maybe because of UI Cheat Mod). But after clicking on serveral buttons, the game continued somehow.

2) Active sim beeing "freezed" while time continues. Dont know wether clicking on buttons or waiting let the game continue somehow. (I suspected, some information window could not get focus)

3) After creating a new sim and telling him to choose a job, the job window didnt show up. (Again: some window did not get focus / come to front)

4) When going to a festival, which was intended to last until 11pm, my sim still couldnt go home at 11:30pm. When pointing over the readonly option for going home it said: the sim is still working (but it was NOT his work time). I had to "cancel" the event, which was quite strange.

5) As so many others already posted: the home design career mission did not end, since the final evaluation did not appear. I could not send my sim home after work done. (Again: some window not getting to the front?)

When facing the last bug, which means not being able to play the game as it was intended, I searched this forum and google and reddit a lot. I found several instructions, what you can try to remove the bugs. It took me hours and was not very nice to repeat the stuff all the time (especially for bug 5).

I will fill out this bug report twice, since I tried on TWO several computers with different infomations to know.

The second installation, where I had these problems, was a gaming laptop (with own graphics card) which had never sims installed before. It was a plain installation without gallery downloads nor mods.

I tried the home design career 2 or 3 times here.

I found those two bugs:

1) When going to a festival, which was intended to last until 11pm, my sim still couldnt go home at 11:30pm. When pointing over the readonly option for going home it said: the sim is still working (but it was NOT his work time). I had to "cancel" the event, which was quite strange.

2) After occurring of the bug no1, the home design career again was not going to end. (Before, it worked. I dont know if there is any relation between these two).

I have the same problem. I just bought this game pack last week and I feel like I've been scammed out of my money. Have you come up with a solution to the problem?

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? A sim that works as an interior designer, first gig. Sim is also a landlord and lives on the same lot as rental units. Currently has one renter. Go to interior decorator gig as normal but cant finish the gig.
What happens when the bug occurs? Alternative 1: The sim has shown the client the room but the last bracket of the job panel is unchecked and so the gig don't end. Only solution is to end gig and get a bad rating and not get payed. Alternative 2: "show client the renovation" regardless of what I choose, show them yourself or not, the gig doesn't end. If the sim does not show the client the renovation themselves, nothing happens. They all go about their day, the gig in the career panel is all checked but the sim just stays, bottom left icon still shows sim at work. Client continues as normal and this continues for days. Time of gig ending automatically delays. Alternative 3: "Show client renovation" I choose to show them, click a few items, talk to the client, and get a final verdict. The social event in the top left corner will show as completed but not dissapear, sometimes not become yellow/gold and just show as white. "Get final verdict 5/5" and nothing happens afterwards. Sims go about, main sim remains on lot, gig doesn't end and sim will stay until they die. (Yes I have tried this, died of old age at work on first gig). Alternative 4: Spam saving in the home screen somehow fixes somethings, ends the event and sim is able to return to home lot but the gig is still active, cant quit/abandon project/gig but can quit job.
What do you expect to see? I expect the interior designer gig to end, get payed (or not, depending on job) and get rated, be returned to home lot and be able to choose the next gig. E.g working normally.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.

Listen... I have over 1000h playtime in this game, and that is only in sims 4 alone. I rarely come across a bug I can't fix or get around myself but this one is just effin stupid.

I have tried the following to fix: Cannot "M" out of gig because of social event. Cannot participate in other events from other packs like festivals/fairs/games etc. Cannot get out if another sim calls and invites to hang out, cannot get out by clicking lots to visit in close vicinity. Obviously cannot "x" out "show renovation" social event despite the fact that it is all yellow/gold and is complete. If will ask if I'm sure I want to end the event early and if clicking "yes" than the box vanishes and nothing has changed.I have even tried to move a different sim into the lot while the other one is stuck at gig. And this is just the in game stuff, it gets better.

Obviously I have tried the "repair" option in the EA launch app, no effect, I have tried uninstalling the game and creating a new sim that is not a landlord and start the career but the problem persists. I have tried external mods for repairs and bug fixes but that has not worked. I have no other programs running that would interfere with the game. I have a beefy computer that has no issue running the game. (AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics 3.90 GHz, RAM 16,0 GB (15,8 GB unused) Windows 11 Home, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070).
Don't usually play with mods but whatever was there is uninstalled/wiped from file folders than uninstalled and re-installed so not a mod issue. And yes... I have tried re-starting my computer.

Thank you.

I can see that this has been an issue for other people almost a year back and from Reddit threads r/sims4 it's a persistent problem. (link: https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims4/comments/148alh5/interior_design_gig_wont_end_glitch/)

Cant we just Chatgpt the **** out of this code issue/interaction bug or something. 

Here are a bunch of screenshots, the language is kind of irrelevant as the format is the same regardless but anyhoot, hope to see this fixed. 

I have had the same problems being an interior decorator with three different families just to make sure the one family was not bugged. Nope, everyone of them have the same problem

as fruitlooper18 Newbie. it worked great for a while, but for the last month, it never lets me complete the job and the only way I have found is to save it and then get out of the game completely. 

I lose my money, but at least I am allowed to travel home. This is the best job to be because you can do it everyday or take a break and go on vacation with the Sims family and you don't

get fired.
