Dream Home Decorator not working after recent update

I just updated my game today, and since then the Dream Home Decorater gigs are not working properly. Each time I go to a gig, it will check off the gig tasks as I complete them. (e.g., I'll take before photos, enter build mode and renovate, but when I complete it I'm unable to take after photos and complete the gig bc the game didn't register that I had already taken before photos). I have MCC and BetterExceptions downloaded, both are up to date. I have also tried restarting the game to no avail.

  • Also to mention, I removed my Mods folder for some reason it de-activated the dream home decorator career? It was no longer available to join the career and all my current gigs were gone. Unsure why this is happening

  • I am also not losing reputation by cancelling gigs when I can't finish them. It seems like the entire career is just frozen.

    Hi kyndralynn​ 

    Try the following

    - Close the game
    - Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    - Repair the game
    - Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry. 
    - Start a new save game
    - Check if you still have the error
    - Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

    I am also experiencing this issue. I removed mods, updated game, repaired game, cleared cache, etc. I do not play with this career often but about two weeks ago I started using it. Worked very good in comparison to it's release (received likes & dislikes that displayed in BB). 

    BUT, after this update NONE of the work task complete for me. Visiting the clients lot doesn't even complete upon arrival. I 'Get to Know' the clients preferences, take before & after photos, and enter BB to redesign & NOTHING COMPLETES! The residents will leave the lot when commanded but I cannot complete a single work task. This began immediately after the update. 

  • I haven't played the career in a while and it had a lot of issues in the past but I did give it a test with my old DHD save just now and all the tasks worked fine for me.

    Does it matter for you what gig you are trying ?
