[GF] [DU] Actor career message regarding degree bonus not shown

Product: The Sims 4

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.109.207.1020

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim earn a drama degree, then find a job and look at the actor career. Compare it with other jobs the drama degree helps with, as well as the get to work jobs.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim has a drama degree but it does not show the red message saying they will get the bonus, however they did receive it.

    @crinrict I got the bonus simoleons, however when I was looking at it on the careers page before I took the job, it didn’t show the message saying I would. I’m not sure if that is an intentional thing or not

    @Davis5022 I'd say that's it as active careers work a bit differently. I don't think it's like the other careers.
    Have you tried what happens with the other active careers ?

    @crinrictso my sim has the drama, communications, and psychology degrees. I had him become a detective and it showed the message and gave the signing bonus. All of the other normal jobs seem to be displaying correctly. I’m not sure about doctor or scientist as I don’t have those degrees, but if needed I can play and get them and see what happens.

    @Davis5022 I think it should show the same text as for the other active careers but since it's broken and not showing as active career, the text is probably missing.

    Since you did get the bonus, I think all that's wrong is the text and the fact that they aren't an active career.

    Bit unsure what's the best way to go about this but I don't think the game behaves correctly and it's just the text that's wrong.

    I think for now it's best to add the fact to the existing bug report to show that there's another aspect to the wrong categorization.

    If it's still wrong after they fix the categorization bug, make a new thread for the text (in bugs).
