    @unicorns176  On the issue with the actor's gigs.  That is a known problem and there is a bug report on it here:  https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/WORKAROUND-GF-Acting-Career-Sim-not-getting-gig-pop-up/td-p/8930411 

    The workaround is to not travel between the time you get the gig and actual gig.  So you just have to stay home.  Do not travel or follow a sim to work until your actor goes to the gig.

    On mods, you are going to have to do some troubleshooting and try to find the one that is causing the problem.  There are a couple of ways to go about it is to pull them all out and put the back one by one, exiting and restarting the game with every mod you add, until you find the one that is causing the problem, if there is one.

    In your case, I would look for any mod that affects the phone first since that seems to be what is getting messed up.  But it could be any mod you have so just because you think you don't have one that affects the phone, you never know.  

    If you have any cc (custom content) objects, those can do it too.  I know of some phone replacements that could cause issues since they are older and haven't been updated.  So you might look at your cc too if you do not find the cause is from a mod.

    Hope this helps

is there a way i could find the broken mod if there is one and just delete that rather than all mine? or is there a way to put my mods in a separate place so they won't have an impact but I wont lose them either? Thanks!

      @unicorns176  Right now, there is not much you can do but travel between the time you complete the gig and signing up for the next one.  

      But there is a patch coming tomorrow (2 June) so hopefully it will have a fix for this bug.  Keep your fingers crossed!
