My sim is Paralegal (level 4) of the Law Career, but every time I click on 'take lawyer's exam', she walks out the door and then the command disappears, and she just stands there.

I've seen this bug reported a couple times on Reddit, but I can't find it on here. There have been no fixes that anyone has found.

I've repaired and restarted my game, and it didn't fix anything.

    I don’t know what a last exception is?

    It’s like the sim resets when it gets to the location it would usually leave the lot at.

    @GeordieJLK There's a file in your doc folder called lastException.

    Could you delete that, then trigger the error and see if a new one is created ?

    If so, please upload it (either create a rar file to upload or c/p the content to a post)

    What is your current game version number? 1.77.131.1030
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I am not sure, sorry. I don't know where to search for this info.
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Be a paralegal 2. Reach level 4 at research and debates 3. Try to take lawyer exam
    What happens when the bug occurs? The Sim goes out of his apartment, and the babies go to daycare and immediately return back home and the Sim just stands in the hallway. The Sim does not go to the computer but goes straight out of the apartment.
    What do you expect to see? The Sim should go to his computer to take the exam. I can't get a promotion without taking the exam.
    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

    I read on Reddit that some people have the same issue but in a different situation. They said their Sim is going out of the house after they make them do something specific. I couldn't find an answer on Reddit that would help my problem as I am not that experienced with PC games.

    I gave this a try, but I used a house (Honeydew Fields in Britechester). My test Sim got up from the computer, walked out to the street, then disappeared into a rabbit hole to take the exam. She reappeared about 2 hours later, with the exam completed.

    I tried it again, but this time I used an apartment (930 Mediina Studios in San Myshuno). My test Sim got up from the computer, walked out to the elevator, then disappeared into a rabbit hole to take the exam. She returned about 2 hours later, with the exam completed, just like before.

    Apparently, the computer is just used to start the Lawyers Exam. The actual exam takes place in a rabbit hole, just like going to work. The only difference between the two tests I made is the location of the rabbit hole.

    @mechrista Is that really your game version ? This bug was fixed a while ago and if you're still on patch 1.77 that might be the cause.

    Please double check your game version.
