[FIXED] [S] Low payment for botanist career

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? n/a
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of the Expansions and game packs and stuff packs.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Be in the botanist branch of the gardening career that came with the seasons update and select work from home.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim gets the alert an hour before work time. I select work from home. Sim completes the at home work task and then when my sim is supposed to work again I get a notification that the boss was happy with their work and they earned 10 simoleans.
What do you expect to see? I expect her to make more than 10 simoleans a day for being level 9 in the career. If I send her to work off the lot she makes about 700 simoleans a day.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I appeared after the update with the glass roofs and seasons came out. I started the save game right after seasons was officially activated.

I have seen others claim to have the same issue except they make 11 simoleans a day instead of the 10 I am getting. 


  • Updated the Gardening career so that Sims will earn more than 10 Simoleons per completed work shift.

    Fixed in Patch 1.51.75

    I just wanted to add that this happens when you go the Floral Designer route too.  My sim is the now the top of her career and she always only makes 10 simoleons on completion of the task and another 10 simoleons when she gets the phone call that she completed her work (I always have her work from home). My sims who do the gardening career have all made their money before going into the career, but it would be harder if you were starting out without having done something else and to earn that little. 

    Thanks and regards,

  • The Sims 4 Seasons career for Gardening, I feel, is glitched. One of my Sims works from home with the Gardening Career so she can be home with her kids. However, I noticed that she is stuck at only making $10 per day total. She should be making $45 per hour, but she is only getting $10 per day. I think this is solely the Gardening Career because my other does a similar thing, only she uses the Social Media career from City Living. She makes good amounts of money per day (I don't remember exactly how much, but I do know it is above $10). Additionally, these two sims both make their bosses happy with the work they do from home. So, I do not know what is wrong. 

    I DO use CC and 2 scripts mods for the SIMS 4. I have already tested my game w/out said mods and the glitch still occurs. The pictures I have attached are before I undid my modding to the game.

    Edit: Just for reference, I have the following EPs, GPs, and SPs,

    Get To Work, Get Together, Seasons, City Living, Spa Day, Dine Out, Movie Hangout Stuff, Bowling Night Stuff, Ghoulish Grim's Guitar, and Winter Holiday.

    Did you remember to fulfill the Home work assignment?

  • My sim(s) are in the 11 simoleons category when working from home. I had thought it was just weird design. :/

    Any news on this? It’s November and I’m also having this exact issue.

    What is your current game version number? 1.49.65.1020

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Work from home in the gardening career
    What happens when the bug occurs? When my gardner works from home they only get $10 for completing the task. However, when they go into work they get the full days pay.
    What do you expect to see? I expect the Gardner to be paid a full days salary for working from home. Other work from home careers get a full days pay when the tasks are complete.

    With my gardeners in two sim housesholds before I installed lots of EPs and GPs and after, they have only been paid $10 when working from home. That isn't right. Especially when it costs thousands of simoleans to maintain their farm/garden.

    I have played other sims who have the option to work from home or go to work and they get paid their full daily salary for completing the activities. Please fix the salary descrepancy with the gardners. I truly enjoy playing them. If they are only going to get $10 for working from home, then there is no value in joining that career.

    Also, I would love for my gardners to wear their career outfits when they work from home too.

    Thanks.
