Can't Restart Conservationist Career

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? 1.52.100.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have every single one installed
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Join the Conservationist career, choose one of the two paths (I chose Marine Biologist) and then quit the job and look for a job again. There isn't an option to join the Conservationist career anymore, only the Marine Biologist career.
What happens when the bug occurs? I can't join the Conservationist career anymore.
What do you expect to see? I want to be able to rejoin the Conservationist career from the beginning instead of only being able to join the Marine Biologist career.
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 

My sim is a mermaid, I joined the Conservationist career and then ended up choosing the Marine Biologist career path. Since my sim is a mermaid, it makes it harder or impossible to complete some of the tasks in the Marine Biologist career (like surveying ocean wildlife), so I wanted to quit the job and rejoin the Conservationist career. But when I quit the job, there is no option to rejoin the Conservationist career. I can only join the Marine Biologist career again. I wanted to play the other path instead but since I can't join the Conservationist career again, I can't. I tried a cheat to demote her, but when I do that she's fired and there's still only an option for the Marine Biologist career. (Pic attached says environmentalist career, I meant Conservationist career.

  • Not 100% certain that this will work but might be worth a try.

    Join another career for a few days. Then go back and see if you can rejoin the conservationist career to work in the other branch.

    @coolestrat It's not possible to change branches once you picked one. So I'm guessing that's why it's not offered at all.

    This has always been the case.
  • Hm... never noticed that before. Ngl, that’s kind of silly and I don’t understand why we’re not able to restart the career. Thanks for the answer tho. 

  • "I tried a cheat to demote her, but when I do that she's fired", I did this as well, same result coolestrat​ . Even if I quit and play for days and then want to restart the career I must continue as an Ocean observer! There is no way I can change career to the Environmental manager branch or restart that whole career. I have been playing sims for 24 years and have never felt the need to write on a forum, but I'm very annoyed. I really wanted one specific sim to become a Chief Sustainability Officer and now I simply cannot do that without using a MCC commands MOD. I don't do MODS, hence I have never been on forums.  Please help me ! AwesomePewPew​ Beruthien​

    Hey annelies101​
     
    This thread is quite a few years old and it's unlikely the initial posters would be back, so we'll be locking it here to avoid necroposting.
     
    Feel free to create a new thread if there's a subject you're wanting to discuss that doesn't have a more recent topic! 

    In this case you can just head back to the The Sims 4 Gameplay Questions & Issues board, then check the top-right for the option below.
