Re: [IL] No Odd Jobs in List
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.87.40.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Cats and Dogs, Seasons, Get Famous, Island Living, Discover University, Outdoor Retreat, Dine Out, Vampires, Laundry Day Stuff, Jungle Adventure, Strangerville, Realm of Magic, Paranormal Stuff, Holiday Celebration Pack
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? A new save requires a few in-game days of playing and participating in gigs for any freelance career. After those few days, you can either select the phone > career > check for new gigs, or the job panel > select the clipboard, or a computer > freelance > check for new gigs. If selecting an odd job, then you can either select the phone > career > odd jobs, or the computer > jobs > odd jobs. Please note the button names may or may not be the same as above. I'm also going through the Finding Love After A Breakup scenario and both sims are signed up for the freelancer career. One is in writing and the other is an artist.
What happens when the bug occurs? There are no options for selecting a freelance gig and no options for selecting an odd job.
What do you expect to see? I'd like to see options so my sims can earn money.
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? Neutral/Not Sure
I have tried a new save but it's only temporarily fixed. I've removed all the mods I use, after the bug appears, and it doesn't get fixed. I've also deleted The Sims 4 folder in my Documents folder, restarted the game, tested with a new save to confirm the gigs come back (it does), exited the game, only replaced the new save folder with my old save folder, restarted the game and the bug is still there. So, if you can't figure out where the bug is, it's in the save folder and, no, I didn't put back the mods so I can definitively say the bug is in the save folder. Just in case the mods I use are changing my save files, here's a list of them:
- No Reaction to the Thermostat by Zer0_
- MC Command Center by Deaderpool
- Unlisted Phone Numbers by scumbumbo (may they rest in peace)
- XML Injector version 2 by scumbumbo
- Custom Food Interactions by TheFoodGroup
- Spooky Cookies by icemunmun
- Automatic Beards by flerb
- Breastfeed Toddlers! by PolarBearSims
- Better Computers Mod by BosseladyTV
- Girl's Night Out Custom Social Event by solarmoodlet
- Wedding Gifts! by JaneSimsten
- Funeral Service Event by flauschtrud
- Homework at Desk Mod by BosseladyTV
- Security Guard Career by Marduc_Plays
- Airline Employee Career - 6 Career Tracks by Simmiller
- Bakery Career (Neia's Careers) by sorG
- ATM Cards and now with real Credit Function by LittleMsSam
- Musical Theatre Career by Marduc_Plays
- Decluttered Tower of Treats Display Shelves by IgnorantBliss
- Updated Decluttered Food Displays by IgnorantBliss
- Functional Retail Little Sprout Seed Display by Menaceman44
- Functional Grocery Set - Cut Meshes by AlexCroft
I obtained all mods at modthesims.info except I obtained MC Command Center at deaderpool-mccc.com. In the meantime, I'm going to continue playing the game and change my sims careers. I backed up the entire The Sims 4 folder in my Documents so let me know if you want a copy. It includes every file, folder, mods, saves, saved mod settings, etc. By the way, I backed up the folder before I deleted The Sims 4 folder in my Documents folder.
Edit to add: I just realized I'm in a similar situation as @LlamaOMama and their report is at https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Gigs-are-empty-Odd-jobs-empty/m-p/11458483/highlight/true.
