[FIXED] [HSY] Video Game Streamer: Not getting paid when working from home

Product: The Sims 4
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? 1.91.205.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Every Expansion Every Game pack Every stuff pack Every kit
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Sim in the gamer career. When they go to work they earn $ and job performance. They even get promotions. When the sim works from home, they do not get paid. They do not get job performance. They do not get promotions. An hour before the sim's job starts, a pop up appears asking if they want to go to work or work from home. When that pop up appears, the sim then earns $10 for their job from the previous shift.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim never gets paid, never earns job performance increases, and never gets promoted if they work from home in the gamer career that came with high school years.
What do you expect to see? The sim should earn their full pay, earn job performance increases, and earn promotions if they work from home. They earn it all correctly if they go to work. If they work from home then they never get any of the above.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

Hello! I am writing about a glitch that I am having.

I have a sim teen who I placed in the gamer career. It is the career that came with High School Living. If she goes to work, she gets paid her full amount. She earns job performance increases. She even gets promoted.

When the sim works from home and completes all of her tasks, she does not get paid. Her job performance bar never increases. She never gets promoted.

A pop up appears an hour before her job starts. It asks if I want to send her to work or have her work from home. When that pop up appears, the game then awards her $10 as pay for her previous shift. 

Before posting her, I wanted to make sure it was a glitch.

I started a new save with a new sim. I had this sim start working in the gamer career.

The same issue happens.  He gets paid, earns job performance increases, and even got promoted if he goes to work.  When he chooses to work from home and completes all his required tasks, he never gets paid. He never gets any job performance boosts, and he never gets promoted.

The notification pops up saying his job starts in an hour. It asks if I want to send him to work or work from home. The game then pays him $10 and says it is his salary from his previous shift.

I do not use any mods in my game. I do not use CC.  I play on pc. My game is fully updated. I own every expansion, game pack, and kit.

    • Sims are paid in full for WFH tasks for Simfluencer/Video Game Streamer career.
