Do a gig in the Paranormal Investigator career and complete all tasks.What happens when the bug occurs? Starting after the 5/27 update, when a sim goes on a gig and completes all tasks, the checkbox in the upper left shows the lot is fully exorcised, and dialog options with ghost change from "ask to leave" to "attempt to communicate", indicating the game is recognizing t\he gig as over, However, the dialog box showing gig complete with the "go home" option never comes, and and the investigator sim is stuck on the lot. Clicking the timer and selecting "leave early" does nothing. Even waiting for the timer does not work, the timer counts down to 1m and stays there. Even as the game time continues on well past 6:30.What do you expect to see? After completing the gig I expect a dialog indicating the gig was completed with an option to "go home". I would then expect my sim to collect their rewards and go home after selecting "go home".Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now.

@iSquirrelBot I had this happen when I clicked leave early after I had an hour left and met all the fully exorcised tasks and I couldn't. 630 came and went and I couldn't leave. I then clicked "leave late" after 830am and it allowed me to complete the investigation and leave.

@bewitching1 Thanks. That seems like a reasonable workaround and hopefully it does work for some people. I'm not sure whats different in my game but that unfortunately, isn't working for me. The timer counts down to 1m remaining, then sticks there, regardless of how far beyond 6:30 the game continues. Clicking the timer continues offering only the "leave early" or "stay late" neither of which do anything, regardless of the time. The cancel job button, in the job pane does nothing either. I'm still testing on a clean Sims 4 folder and I've tried letting the game go a full 24 hours beyond the 630am when the shift should have ended and the state never changes.

Vampires, magic realm, paranormal, seasons, get together, city living, vintage glamour, spooky stuff, Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play paranormal investigator and the game will say you’ve exorcised the lot but then you will never be able to leave work and if you somehow do by extending time and restarting the game then it will say you failed and not pay you. What happens when the bug occurs? The job never ends when the time runs out it says there is 0 minutes left and you can’t leave by leaving work early because nothing happens and only once extending the time and restarting the game had allowed me to leave work. So you are just stuck at the person’s house you were doing the investigation for forever and it never ends the job. I tried with one occult sim household and one regular sim household.

As an additional test on one of the two computers, I renamed the entire "...\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\ folder to reset everything and started a new game. Cheated medium skill and Paranormal Investigator career for a brand new sim, and had the same issue after completing the gig requirements.

I have the problem as well. After a few tests the following: I can't leave the lot, but I can restart the game. After restart the sim is no longer stuck, but the job is now not done. As if the sim was never at work.
If I quit the game before the end of the job is reached, the job ends normally, but unsuccessfully. Although the job bar is full and the task was completed.

I’m playing on a Mac, having the same problem. My workaround: just had my Sim look in a mirror to change her appearance, entered CAS, and exited right away. That seems to have fixed/reset whatever the bug was and allowed her to go home. Looks like she got to keep her gig payout and her confident moodlet. Weird! Hope it works again next time I get stuck in this rabbit hole. :/
