The Freelance Programmer career works fine for me. I started with a level 5 gig that required writing 3 webpages, did two level 7 gigs that involved Make Mobile App (including Saucy Dating App), and then did a level 9 gig to Make Video Game. All gigs were completed without any problem. I was able to take breaks and even travel during the gigs, without any noticeable effect on my progress.
It's likely the reason this hasn't been fixed is that it's a very rare problem that can't easily be duplicated.
Perhaps, I completely reinstalled a FRESH version of the game (copied my sims folder, renamed it to another location).... tried to do this VERY thing, still failed to complete the video game (mostly the video game, but happens with candles too as a maker). Was unable to complete it.... with vanilla, NO MODS/CC, brand new save.
