    Style Influencer - work from home task: Check in at The Gym or a Park.

    I've been to both venues and the option to check in on the phone is not there, nor is it there when I click on my Sim.

    I even tried the various update social media/ simstagram options but they have not completed the task.

    Not exactly. She'll go through the interaction, and put it down, as if she's done with the task. I have to click the tablet several times to get her to complete one painting.

    Could you create a separate thread for that then ? Does that happen with every Sim ?

    Were you talking to me? I haven't tried any other Sim in that career. Let me test another household and see. I'll get back to you with what I find out. If it's the same thing with the other household, I'll post a Bug Report, o.k?

    I created a new save with a new household, and I didn't get the "Sketch for 2 hours" option. In that save, the sim was able to complete a painting on the sketch tablet. As for the original Sim, I reverted back to an old save (before the update), and she was at her other job. I had her leave early and join Style Influencer career, the painting issue was still there. I exited without saving, repeated everything except I had her quit her other job and then join Style Influencer Career, and she completed the painting. The "Sketch for 2 hours" option wasn't there, instead it was "Submit a Column." That seemed to work as intended. I then went to another household in the same save, and that sim had the "Take Photos" task, and it completed as intended. So to me, even though I'm no expert, the painting issue seems to be caused by joining Style Influencer Career before formally quitting another career. I also noticed all other Work From Home tasks in the Style Influencer career work as intended.

    @crinrict The sim I'm having the painting issue with is in an old save. I tested others in a new save--and the original sim in a new save--and the issue doesn't persist. It only seems to be an issue when I had her change jobs without quitting the first one first.

    OK. Thanks for the info. Do feel free to make a new post if you get it back.
  • I got the work from home task to "check in at a museum".

    Did not get that to work on any of my museum lots.

    I struggled to get the 3 sketches task to complete, but eventually 3 that counted.

    The trick seems to me that the sim needs the inspired moodlet that  says something about impression and then you will have the option to do impression sketches.

    @SweetieWright_84  I'll try that, thank you!  BTW, I quit my stylist job, joined painters, quit that job and went back to stylist and it didn't fix the errors for me.  Boo.

    @crinrict I'll go ahead and make a thread for the painting issue, even though it doesn't seem to be as widespread as the "Sketch for 2 hours" task. I'll add a little note with the workaround that I used as well, o.k?

  • I'm having this issue too. The style influencer is the only job/career my Sim currently has and no matter how many paintings/sketches I create, the "Sketch for 2 Hours" work at home task does not complete. The only mods I use are MC Command Center (newest version for the patch) and No Mosiac. These issues began after the Nov. 13, 2018 patch.
  • I found out that the check in at a certain venue tasks can be completed by using the specific style influencer career social options. For me the aks to show looks option has always completed the task.

    I tried several times to get a regular camera to work, but it doesn't. So, I also used the phone camera, which worked fine.

    This is exactly my issue too! I know if you do the social media career you can get that option unlocked but through the style influencer I can't get the "check in at..." option 

  • It worked for me, when trying a style influencing action... such as interview with another sim at the venue stated. Hope that works
  • I was having issues too until I realized that the check in interaction is actually checking in with other Sims and using the stylist related interactions with them such as modeling looks and talking about fashion. They could have worded it differently for sure.
