Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Sim fails to attend audition
What happens when the bug occurs? Audition remains in career's tab, but they won't try to attend it again. Also, will remain if you cancel the audition and will prevent you advancing the acting career.
What do you expect to see? Failure to attend the audition automatically results in you failing to get the gig. Would also expect your work performance to decrease, as you agency wouldn't be happy about you not turning up.
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? No

So this happened with and without mods and CC installed. Have a Sim I am trying to get through the acting career - I've tried it twice with this one Sim, on different game saves. One time she got stuck eating food and it wouldn't cancel it, and I had to "reset object" her. A second game play I attempted she just opted not to automatically go which I hadn't realised until after the audition passed.

It gets stuck on the audition she failed to attend. I've tried doing the "cancel gig" option though it stays in the career's tab in the bottom. I can select new gigs using the phone and it will let me go to them but it will not let me advance the career despite the happy tick to say she's at that level for a promotion. I've tried using both the promote and demote cheat to see if that will let me advance the career, but there is no movement.

I have tried changing agency, quitting the acting career, etc but the gig remains locked in the career's tab.

This is very frustrating as it prevents the world renowned actor aspiration being completed without cheats, and it essentially stops the acting career from being playable.

    Hi @MasqueradeMoth

    merged your post with similar reports. The thread has a few issues by now but they are (hopefully) all connected. 

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

    If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox,, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

    Hi! So I found this thread while searching for a solution to the same exact problem I was having and I wanted to share how I fixed it. If you have a Mac OS and are experiencing this problem, I was able to solve it by:

    - Opening up my Sims 4 folder in my Finder

    - Create a new folder on my desktop (can be called anything)

    - Click 'localthumbcache.package' (it will probably say "waiting to upload" underneath)

    - Drag it to the new folder on the desktop

    - Drag it back into the Sims 4 folder

    The "waiting to upload" will disappear and your functions should return. I also noticed I started to receive mail again as well as other common notifications I wasn't normally getting.

    Just as a precaution, I quit my career as a B-Lister and got the job as an actress again. I chose a higher agency (well suited) and they gave me a short list of auditions but still a higher end one. I chose that, went to the audition, the gig showed up on a different day (Tuesday) and all was well! I'm now a Proper Celebrity and all high end gigs are available to me now. I hope this helps anyone who came to this thread for advice!
