Sims 4 Job panel appearing blank

Save file is having issues where I see a blank job panel where the sims job / college info should be. Other sims 4 saves are not affected on my computer. I have repaired the game through origin and factory reset the settings of my sims 4 game. I am sure what else I can do. I have invested time in this save and cannot play it due to this bug. I do not want to start over a solution to this issue would be appreciated.

    I have usually find a job by clicking the button in the job panel when starting a new job. I then remembered I could join a job from the sims phone. So I tried it.

    I went to the phone a selected find a job and was able to select a job. After I did this my job panel reappeared. The information for the new job popped up and is now in the panel. I saved and exited and rebooted the game. My sims job information is still there. It appears to be resolved.

    Thanks for the help

    @Stayawakened Does it happen for every Sim for that save game ?

    Have you tried travelling or moving the Sim out and back in ? Do the Sims have jobs ?

    I created a new sim in create a sim. I downloaded them from the gallery into create a sim and moved them in a apartment in the same save file. That sim did not have the same issue.

    I also played three households that were in my game within the affected save. Each family was in a different world. These families were not previously played. They had 1 to multiple sims ( max 4) and there were no issues with the job panel in those households for any of those sims.

    I have traveled to a different world to a gym and went home and the issue still existed in both places.

    I have also moved the sim out and moved her back in the same apartment as well as a new house in a different sims 4 world and the issue still occurred in both circumstances.

    She does not have a job because she had just graduated from university and I just moved her into the apartment she lived in before she went to university and lived on campus. 

    This said the some of the other sims in the households I tried in the save do not have jobs. However there is a message that says that the sim does not have a job. There is also a button to join a job. The affected sim does not have any of that writing or the button to join a job. It is a blank panel.

    I also tried to use the cheat to debug the affected sim and it did not fix it.
