Product: The Sims 4Platform:Sony Playstation 4Which language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.81What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except Horse Ranch and Home Chef Hustle.Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim who is (level 10) in the actor career (not sure if it's an issue in others yet, or if it's the actor career level).What happens when the bug occurs? The sim will get daily calls, sometimes up to five times in one day, of offers for other careers by various other sims not in the household.What do you expect to see? My employed sim not being constantly bothered by calls to join other careers.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. This just started happening after the last patch or two, not exactly sure which it was. This constant calling doesn't happen for freelancers, or at least not freelance photographers, which is the career of the other adult sim in the household. I also have an unemployed servo who hasn't ever gotten calls to get a job, unlike my actor sim who has, constantly. It's very annoying. Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title

@candiecoatediv this happens for me when my Sims reputation increases. As it gets to the max end of the scale the phone starts ringing off the hook. I dearly wish we could turn them off. I put the phone on silent and dismiss them. When it gets to Pristine Reputation...aargh, everyone wants my Sim to work for them.Calls in general are in overdrive for me since the recent patch which fixed an issue with Sims not receiving invites. Now the phone never stops ringing. There is a bug thread if you think it's too excessive to be normal.😡I'd love a call filter for Xmas!🎁

I believe this is a "feature" based on your Sim's reputation being Great or better.

On Mac here. I also have this issue since the last patch. My sim is unemployed but famous (second-last tier) from publishing books. She’s also lived a long time and so has several maxed skills. Lately she’s been getting about 2 to 4 job offers a day. Often, two calls will come back to back. I even had her accept an offer just to see whether the calls would stop, but they didn’t!

Not now. I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure I have removed my mods & cc, repaired the game, and cleared the cache and it still does this. It is getting to be an annoying bug. I've noticed this bug only pops up for one specific sim, the one with multiple degrees.

@candiecoatediv I tested this today after seeing your report, just to see exactly how many job offers I'm actually getting. A Sim with Great Reputation starts getting them and so far is getting 4 job offers per day. That's definitely not happened for me before. I'm going to keep tracking it at different levels of reputation. She's not even a celebrity, she just happens to have the Friendly Introduction reward trait and travels a lot.

@Sketch793 Yes this is a feature but it used to happen way less often... this is just getting an annoyance now.

I’ve noticed since the last patch that my sims get no less than 3-4 job offers via phone in one - two sim hours. This seems quite excessive to me. Is anyone else noticing this? Maybe once in a while is fine but through the night my sim got at least 4. I’m sure this has something to do with the “invite” calls sims are supposed to be getting. Not getting any of those however.

Update: I noticed OP mentioned freelance careers. My sim is a freelance programmer and is the one getting them.
