Product: The Sims 4 Get to Work
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.49.65.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Exp: All expansions. GP: [Parenthood] and [Dine Out]. Stuff: [Romantic Garden] and [Movie Hangout]. CC: [] and a few related animations mods.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I linked my save below to test it. In ~30 minutes (7pm), Oddlaug Talley has an audition. Wait for that to see it disappear and Oddlaug not going there. This happens no matter what audition has been selected and no matter what agency is used.
What happens when the bug occurs? Any audition the character has will not work at all and instead disappears from the work tab at the second it should start (leaving a blank space underneath the agency section). The character won't go there and no option to force to go will be available. The audition will however remain "alive" and will prevent getting another audition untill canceled by phone. Any other audition, no matter the agency, will exhibit the same bug.
What do you expect to see? The character should go to the audition when the time comes and be able to get another one afterwards without cancelling the previous one.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
Fixes i have tried:
1. Quit the acting career, get another career and go to work (works as intended), then try the acting career again.
2. Move sim to another plot before the audition starts.
3. Control other sim on another plot in the hope that the related sim will automatically go to the audition.
4. Reset the sim with testing cheats, and turn it into a plant and back to a human (why not).
5. Uninstall all mods, save the game, then reload it.
6. Clear all cache files (including ones outside the cache folder).
7. Reinstall the game.
8. Use a different copy of the game.
To be noted:
- The sim is a young adult, not an adult yet.
- The sim had been created on a cracked version of the game (this was to test the game for the first time and see if i would like it, with the firm intention of buying it if i did. After a coupleof hours of game, i did buy it for more than 100$ worth of content, so i hope you will understand this was not ill-intended). The bug happened on the cracked version and persisted on the legit copy. As far as i know, the cracked copy wouldn't be to blame, as literally everything else worked perfectly.
Thank you for your time and attention, may you find peace and happiness in all your endeavors.
I wish you a very good one!

thank you for your detailed report. I'v merged your post with existing thread on the issue.
- 7 years agoI have this issue too. I do have CC though to be honest, but I don't think it should make a difference. I play lots of families and whenever I go back to one that had a gig I can't attend it anymore or look at new ones. I have no choice but to cancel.

It would be nice if this were to be treated as a major bug by the dev team, since, as someone mentioned, this basically means a huge part of Get To Work simply doesn't work at all for a bunch of us. I'm not trying to be agressive or anything, i'm just saying that it would be appreciated if someone affiliated with EA or Maxis could bump this towards the devs
