SOLVED! THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MODS
Make sure that you fill the empty homes in all of your sim worlds so that you have clients. Selecting "Fill empty homes" from the game options menu does nothing for this pack. You have to make or download sims and fill the empty homes in order to have gigs. Once the homes are filled this issue is fixed.
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC

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? Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Dine-out, City Living, Get To Work, Movie Hangout, Holiday Celebration, Seasons, Tiny Living, Backyard Stuff, Get famous, Island Living, Laundry Day, Moschino, Parenthood, Vintage Glamour, My First Pet, Toddler, Jungle Adventure, Spooky, Kids Room, eco lifestyle, Nifty Knitting, Discover University, Cats & Dogs, Snowy Escape, Realm of Magic, Dream Home Decorator
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Join Interior Decorator Career then select gigs from the work panel.
What happens when the bug occurs? There are no gigs at all available. The panel is completely blank even when view "All" is selected.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see some available gigs and some gigs that are greyed out to indicate that they are unavailable.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No my mods were off and then I tried clearing the folder completely so it is empty now.
Steps taken?
I tried quitting and rejoining the interior decorator career - nothing.
I tried waiting a day to see if the gigs would become available later - nothing
I tried exiting the game completely and relaunching - nothing.
I emptied my mods folder and repaired the game - nothing.
I looked around to see if anyone else was reporting this issue but so far nothing.
EDIT: Upon further inspection this is only happening on my long-term save file. If I start a game from scratch the gig panel is working correctly. Do you have any suggestions on what to do? I would like to continue with my generational game.
Yup..same problem here. I’ve heard from reviews that this pack is buggy - didn’t expect for it to be straight up unplayable lol
Please try to repair the game in Origin.
After you move the Mods folder to the Desktop delete localthumbcache.package and then test with a new game.
I have no such item and my cache is empty. The gigs work on a new save file but not on my old save file which is a major problem.
If you for some reason have associated .package files with a program you may only see "localthumbcache" without the extension. But you will have it since it is generated when you start the game. Since it works in a new save it looks like your old save was permanently damaged. Sometimes outdated mods do that. Try to restore an older version of that save and see if that will work. If it does make a backup and start testing your Mods. There are a few that are known to be broken with the new career and needs updating or removing.
@jpkarlsen already did that. I did everything @NicholasDSOrigin also did besides starting a new game. I saw a few other people having that issue so maybe it's a bug from the game itself.. I hope that we won't have to start a new game in the end bec I created so many sims of my own and build lot of generations
Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test in a new game.
If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.
[CM Edit: removed excessive allcaps]I told you this had nothing to do with mods and today I fixed it! So hang your head in shame for not considering it could be anything else in the world.
To everyone else:
As mentioned before I was playing a generational game SO after 17 generations nobody lived in any of the worlds. This expansion pack requires you to fill the empty homes with sims you make or download so that you have clients. Selecting "Fill empty homes" from the options menu does nothing at all. After I added 1-2 households into every game world my gigs showed up like they are supposed to. So if you are having this problem make sure that you haven't been playing so long that all your sims died out. You're welcome <3
