promotion with incomplete tasks
Not 100% sure if this is a bug or a feature and I can't find any mentions of this anywhere. After installing the newest patch, I launched a newly created sim male into the stylist career. A couple t...

That sounds odd to me @SheriGR. For me it's always been like, meet the conditions and get work to excellent with the little checkmark and get promoted, rinse repeat. It's a grind I've done a million times and I've never before seen any variation in when it happens.
Like I said, I don't mind if there's a chance that you'll get promoted early (or late, as it were) but I haven't seen any mention of this change, and all older topics I can find are about meeting all the requirements to get promoted or cheating to bypass them.
@marsteras, yes, it is a little bit odd, enough so for it to possibly be a bug, but I think it is more by design. There could be some factor that we aren't looking at. Like @SheriGR, I was thinking along the lines of skills or mood when going to work (let's say you need logic and charisma for the next promotion -- you might need one more charisma skill, but you are up on logic by 3 levels -- perhaps this makes up for the slightly under charisma skill. 🤔 Or maybe you need one creative skill point to get that promotion and the ideal mood is Inspired -- but you come into work Very Inspired . That could be what tips the scales in your favor! It would be like in real life if your boss likes you and gives you a little leeway if they see you are working hard! 😇:eahigh_file:
But there is another thing that might affect this … it could be your Sims' traits. I never thought to look, but It might be that if you Sim has the Ambitious trait, then they might be more likely to get a promotion! 😉 Out of curiosity, what are your Sim's traits? 🤔
His aspirations are snob, materialistic and outgoing.
He was brand new and made just to be a stylist, so at each level I was just struggling for the relevant points. At no point did he have extra points in anything.
There was no ideal mood and I basically worked from home every day, always making sure to do the daily task.
I hope that info suffices 🙂
Yes, thank you @marsteras. I was just curious! 😇 I think it happened to one of my Ambitious Sims once, but I don't know if the other Sims of mine that it happened to were ambitious or not, so I was trying to see if that affected it or not. 🤓
It could be just random and intentional, or it could be a bug. But since it doesn't happen too often I don't think it is a bug (or at least wasn't before the most recent update! 🤨 ) Either way, I don't mind since it is something good, as long as it doesn't happen too often! 😉😃
I agree. It's something that I don't mind happening at all, as long as it doesn't happen too often.
