    • Paranormal Investigation Gigs no longer showing blank Goal Bar. Specters beware. We’re back on the case.

  • When I click on the sim some interactions do appear and some of the creepy items do pop up around the lot. But as I have never played with the career I don't know all the interactions

    @ChuckysGal Have you tried repairing your game ? Looks like a missing text string.

    Have you tested different gigs to see if it's the same for all ?
  • I have repaired my game and taken my mods out but it is still broken. It is like this for all the gigs

    @ChuckysGal I checked my game and since it's basically always the same tasks you need to do (make the home less spookey), I'm suddenly unsure if it looked different before.

    Do you see the tool tip when you hover over ?

    EDIT: Looking at some older video, it seems this is broken and used to look different but you can just ignore it and go through the house and get rid of all the spookey things. It used to say Exorcise the lot. Tool tip will tell you what you need to do for that.

    Yeah, I had blank text, too, but confidently made the lot less spooky. It was an advanced job and I only had four objects, so I spammed ceremonies. 

    (It was in the three story apartment, and I did pause to check not only all three floors but the ground outside the building. Four items.)

     So I was very angry when he “failed.” I was angry enough that I used harsh language in my Discord, 😉 cheated away the sad moodlet, used UI cheats to give him the money and increased career performance, and very nearly had him get a new job. 


    I think advanced jobs are just broken.

  • I've started playing the Paranormal stuff pack and I'm shocked how broken it is. This is the first most obvious issue, reported a year ago and still not fixed. No mods, fresh save, cheated satisfaction points to join the career, started first gig and when arriving at the job location the task is blank as in the included screenshot from a year ago.
