Stylist Career WFH Task- Check-In at Park broken

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? 1.65.70.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Eco, Discover, Island Living, Get Famous, Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get to Work, Strangerville, Jungle Adventure, Dine Out, Laundry Day, Realm of Magic, Vampires, Outdoor Retreat, Parenthood, Tiny Living, Moschino, Vintage Glamour, Movie Hangout, Spooky, Cool Kitchen
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play in the Stylist Career track and work from home. WFH task: Check-in at park (or gym) and view sims active wear.
What happens when the bug occurs? Task does not get marked complete no matter what Stylist interactions are done or which location you go to.
What do you expect to see? If I go to a park or gym, I should be able to do a stylist interaction (ie: discuss fashion, interview, offer makeover) and have the check-in task marked as complete.
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 

The wording is very confusing. If it is meant to be a check-in, then make it so sims can check-in to a location through social media. Otherwise rephrase it so the task is clearer that you must do stylist-specific interactions. BUT please fix it so those interactions actually get counted toward your WFH tasks.

This was my favorite career track from Sims 3 and I'm so let down that I can't even pursue it here because of a bug that breaks the whole career.

  • @ChelSimaldi Just tested this the other day and had no issues with the task completing.

    Do you have issues with all your Sims ? Are they occult ? is it only certain interactions that don't work for you ? If so, could you list in detail which one ?

    There's also a feedback thread here on the awkward wording in case you want to add your two cents to that: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/Check-In-at-Museum-for-Work-From-Home-Style-Influencer-Career/m-p/7362936
  • I've only just started messing around with this career track, so I've only tried with the one sim. Shes not occult or any other variation, just a normal sim. 

    I've sent her to both the park and the gym in Del Sol Valley (as other forums have suggested it only works with Get Famous locations) as well as at Willow Creek and San Myshuno. I've had her run through every possible stylist social interaction (Discuss Fashion, Interview, Offer Makeover) with at least 2 sims at each location. 

    I've quit and restarted the game and rejoined the career. Same issue. 

    I've repaired the game through Origin.

    I have tried with AND without mods enabled.

    I've completed other similar tasks like Check in at a Museum without any problem. It's just the Check-in at Park that doesn't seem to work. I have had the task Check-in at Bar, Club or Lounge but have not attempted it yet (by the time the next day rolls around, she gets assigned a new task anyway so that seems to be the easiest solution at the moment.)

    Shortly after posting this, I encountered another error with the stylist career where her promotion tasks to level up skills get frozen. For example, the task was Get writing skill to level 6 (5/6

    completed) but her writing skill is already at 7! Even after cheating up to the next career level, the writing level glitch persists. 

    I ended up just cheating up the promotion (careers.promote styleinfluencer) as I've scoured the internet for a solution and nothing has worked. 

    I MAY have encountered a similar issue in another career months and months ago. I think I ended up cheating that too in lieu of an actual solution but I don't recall any details from that instance. Otherwise, I have not had these kinds of career issues before.

    It just seems like every time there's a patch, they've fixed 10 bugs and 9 of them aren't anything I've even encountered, and there's always 5-6 new bugs left in its wake.

    @ChelSimaldichecking the objective, it seems like the tooltip description is wrong as it says "travel to a gym or park", but the tests only check for a park. A gym would do nothing.

    Also, it only checks for a regular type park, like the one in Oasis Springs or Willow Creek. I don't think it checks for special park types, like the one in Del Sol Valley, which for some reason is a "National Park" (like the one in Granite Falls) and the one in San Myshuno is a "Center Park" which is a totally different classification that the work from home task does not take into account.

    The only four stylist actions that satisfy the objective are:
    Ask to Model Look
    Discuss Outfit
    Interview
    Make Over

  • Definitely still not working then because the park in willow Creek was literally the first place I went and I've exhausted all the social options, starting with the ones you mentioned.
