[FIXED] [GF] Acting Career Sim not getting gig pop-up

Both of my sims have began to stop going to any of their acting gigs. They don't need to audition so they already get the gigs. There's no notification of work starting in an hour and time goes as normal as if they didn't have a gig at all. I use mods but when I played without them, they still won't go to their gigs.

Problem is related to Fame Perks. Not sure which one. Still testing. Have it narrowed down to 5. Thought it might be Established Name, but it's not.

If you use the cheat commands:

sims.get_sim_id_by_name <Firstname> <Lastname>

bucks.lock_all_perks_for_bucks_type 61441 <sim_id> true

(Might also be able to just do the Celebrity Cleanse, haven't tried it yet.)

That will remove ALL fame perks and refund the amount. If you have an existing gig, you must cancel the gig, save, exit the game, delete the cache, reload the game, and take a new gig. The gig will then work. Tried that three times on different saves. New save and old.

@PsychotpsHaving same issue on old save, trying it now with Celebrity Cleanse and the rest you suggested

EDIT: Worked with Celebrity Cleanse, will be checking perks too

Can we confirm whether or not this happens ONLY on old saves? Is it happening with new saves?

@ManicGlitter If it's related to a certain perk, I'm guessing it's all Sims that have that perk, including new ones that achieve it.

@Psychotps Good call. Thanks for figuring that out. My Sim that is affected has these perks:

Life Style Brand and Easy street and all that lead up to those

@38140316 I merged your post with the current bug report.

@Psychotps I'm still waiting for my gig. Audition went fine so far.

EDIT: Is it possible that reloading/travelling breaks it ?

It worked fine for me after removing all perks and getting a new gig but then I reloaded and tried again without adding a new one and it broke again. On my test yesterday when I got a new gig, I'm pretty sure I traveled somewhere.

EDIT EDIT:

Many tests later I'm convinced it's travelling/Reloading the game that breaks the game. So, as a workaorund you can just stay on your lot from the time you get the gig until you need to go to the gig and it works fine. No travelling or reloading allowed. It's not very desirable but at least it works.

@crinrictYea, that's what I wanted to test. Traveling to another location causes the sim to never go to the gig. I want to test with my older save also and make sure auditions don't count as "traveling".

Edit: Auditions don't count as traveling, so that's good.

I have three sims in my household, one of them is an entertainer and the remaining two are actors. Entertainer does not have any problems going to work, but the actors does. They go to their auditions, pass them and when the time for the gig comes they don't get an alert saying that their work will start in an hour and they don't go. There is no way I can make them go as there is no "Go to work" button. I tried resetting the troubled sims, I tried exiting the game, I removed all of my cc and tried it again, then when it didn't happen I loaded the cc back. As last solution ı came here to seek advice, I saw one person having this problem quitting the acting career and rejoining it worked for them , but it didn't work for me.

@Psychotps They don't seem to. But reloading the game does :D
