I had exactly the same problem - the option just wasn't there, no matter what i tried to do (restart, travel, move, etc..).
Repairing the game fixed it for me, maybe it'll help you too?
EA StaffHello @ElinDa44 @Graydore @foenix776958
We looked into this - is it possible that you just missed the time window to attend? Once you get the notification to attend, the Attend interaction should only be available on the family for a limited time.
Sorry for the late update,
This is what I have found during recent gameplay of affected teen:
1# I aged up the teens toddler brother into a child. They joined the drama club. The option to attend drama club performances was now applicable by selecting parents. Before brother joined there was no options no matter what I clicked on/selected. The performances before the brother joined always gave a notification and were always on Friday afternoons.
2# I moved my teen (teen #1) out with another teen (teen #2). That teen(#2) joined the drama club and progressed though the promotions. Once that teen(#2) reached Junior Artist, they received the drama club award in the household inventory. Before, without promoting through the ranks, it was not available in the household inventory or build/buy mode. Note: My teen(#1) had already reached the highest rank of drama club before moving out and in with this teen(#2)
3# Throughout my entire teen(#1) life-stage, my teen was offered adult jobs through the phone. I once accepted the offer and all options of the employment panel dissapered. Even school. The teen didn't attend an adult job or school either. I had to make the teen quit work for the option of high school to come back. This was weird because I was playing a teen. And also in aspirations, the aspiration never recognized my teen as an adult as part of an aspiration goal. But the game was offering my teen adult jobs at level 3,4, or 5.
I would like to note that I have never used cheats to age up this playable sim, so the game can't have been messed up that way.
I have now aged up my teen into an adult and am now continuing to play that way.
It seems to have been an isolated incident with this teen sim of mine. Repairing, resetting the game, moving households, import/export from gallery...nothing seemed to change my teen sims fate. I have played this family since the "create new household tab" in the world menu. The affected teen was created as a toddler, and have only used the "Game options" way of aging my sims up(and the entire neighborhood too) and having birthday parties with cakes. They lived in the same house their entire toddler-hood and childhood.So I don't know where a bug/glitch could of occurred.
Thanks for everyone trying to help me out.
It seems mod or cc related too me. My question is did you get your sim from the gallery because someone could have uploaded their sim with CC and the CC you have to get separately for everything to work right. I can't the name of the mod that has the no part time job module in it. Also if you created a new game and you played a game with mods in it you must clean the mods out of the Sims 4 directory. However, you stated you never used them, keep in mind some mod objects can accidently be downloaded from the gallery from household CC to Console on lots.
Edit: Mod objects don't work on mod lots without the mods, but if mod is not installed could cause problems in game.

Was that eight Sim minutes or eight real minutes? If it was eight real minutes, how much Sim time elapsed? Was Fast Speed or Ultra Speed used?
