[OPEN] [DHD] Client was happy, Sim still not paid & reputation dropped

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? 1.75.125.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Journey to Batuu
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have your Sim work in the interior designer career, and complete a gig with a client. Do your best to match the design with what the client likes.
What happens when the bug occurs? The client says that it's not exactly what they wanted, but appreciated the effort. Played happy animation. At the end of gig, you'll receive 0 income, and "professional reputation dropped significantly"
What do you expect to see? My sim getting paid and having a better business reputation for satisfying the client.
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

My Sim has done a few gigs. The gig with the Elderberry's didn't end well, but I thought it was because I was still new. I did a gig with the Lynx household, and the client seemed much happier with my work. However, I still didn't get paid, and my professional reputation keeps going down! What am I doing wrong?!

  • I played this pack for the first time today. My sim did the reveal and got all 5 house members approval and I didn't get paid. I thought maybe I forgot to negotiate a price in a chat option or something. But if payment is supposed to be automatic upon completion and approval then something is bugged. 

    I see someone mentioned not doing the reveal to get paid. I did get an option to show the work to them myself--which is what I chose over the other option which I guess is to stand on the sidewalk while they go inside without me? Not sure but I'll try to other option and see if I get paid.

    @freiundentwirrt Good idea! I just spent an hour doing all that work to not get paid. So I will try that next time also. Im on the xbox console.
  • This is still happening to me two years later. I tried 3 gigs in a row and it's so buggy I haven't gotten paid for any of the three. I think I got negative moodlets on the first one, but the two after I got hhappy moodlets and matched everything for everyone. I don't even understand why it would be 'it's not what we wanted, but blah blah blah'. Especially since early on it just says 'room reno' where I remember during launch having trouble figuring out which room they even wanted renovated. And the 'reveal' used to happen in a whole different room than the one I did. 

    But like, I just want to play the pack I bought. I love the mechanic of this. I like incorporating renovating the base game houses especially.

    I don't know what file to share to get help. Been doing job as decorator and not getting paid. Sometimes having to delete the job because it won't let me leave

  • I don't have a save to share because I use mods but this is happening for me also - I have tried removing all mods, and it actually made things worse (the reveal was working but it now doesn't and the gig just never ends to the point of me having to cancel it myself and go home). It is super frustrating - this is one of the main features of the game (building) and the events never work.

    Just had this happen to me while playing on Xbox. Reno's the Pleasant Household they were both incredibly happy and I didn't get paid. My Sim also could not leave even though the job was completed.

    Hi,

    I am still having this issue on almost every job i take.

    Can you please help me? It is my favorite part in the game but so frustrating...

    I tried to send you the log files, but when i click the send message button an error occurs, saying that i`m not logged in, altho i am.

    Is there any other way to send you the files?

    I am not using mods.

    Thank you very much!
