Re: [GF] Actor: GUI for audition/gig not properly updating

Sim goes to audition but nothing works.

My sim goes to her audition and comes home and it still says she has an audition to attend. I tried quitting the career and joining again and it’s still an error. Also tried repairing the game and it’s still happening. She is basically unplayable as an actor.

  • My sim went to her audition but when she came back, the audition pop up was still on and nothing happened. It was as if her audition hadn’t happened yet. I tried quitting the acting career and rejoining but the error is still there. Also tried repairing the game but still happening. 

  • Same here - I'm having success with a save after the audition, go to menu, and reload the file... but it's very frustrating. Maybe it'll work for you?

  • Also happening for me. I had a save file with an audition lined up. My sim went to the audition but after returning home, it's like it never happened and I am unable to cancel it. The audition is still there.

    I tried loading a separate save and queuing up a brand new audition and this time, no audition shows up in the bottom right after selecting one from the list and I am unable to use my phone to search for more auditions.

  • As far as I can tell, this is not during any holiday or event.

    The link you posted is similar but not exact. I seem to have a two-part issue:

    1. On my save with an audition already lined up, I go to the audition successfully but when I return home, nothing happens. The audition does not go away and I never get accepted/rejected for the gig.

    2. On my save with no audition, I use my phone to check for auditions and accept one. After that, nothing shows up in the bottom-right (see picture) and I am unable to check for any auditions if I queue up the task.

    @Valdoryin TO be sure, you're not using mods/cc ?

    I gave the is short time as there's also a post in the bug forum for no notification (working otherwise though) and it worked fine for me.

    @crinrict (not OP) I just had this issue. The audition didn’t fall on a holiday, but my Sim (Vanessa Jeong) got a “Let’s go on a date?” message as soon as she left for the audition. (I dismissed the message, btw.)

    She seemingly passed the audition (there’s gig interactions in all the right places, like the computer and “research playful emotion”), but the career panel was stuck on audition interface and there was no “Vanessa passed her audition!” notification.

    Exiting & saving, and then reloading the save fixed the issue, though.
    (I play on console.)

    @crinrict I’ve had issues with the mail person stuck in a loop waving, the tasks didn’t show up during the first week, tasks reset and vanish on week 4 (IIRC) — I had to do them again after exiting the game and reloading the save.

    Although I am doing the Reaper Rewards exclusively with another household in the same save file.

    @HALirious9k Thanks. I'm just wondering if these are connected. I didn't have any issues so far and I can't duplicate this either.

    I thought that’s a mod issue but seems like it is not! I sometimes fixed it by letting my sim travel, when arriving on a different lot the audition moved further to the actual acting job
