Re: How to remove freelancer career

I don’t take it for granted that you responded, so Thank you very much.😉

Your first suggestion did not work. ‘Joining another Career/ Job’. In fact, for a moment, it appeared as if it wiped out my main career (Secret Agent). It was a simple fix, but you know that feeling when something seemingly disappears.

Your second suggestion also didn’t work. Removing Mods/ CC/ Clear Cache. I clear cache files routinely (I have an alarm for that). My mods and cc are very organized, so temporarily removing them was not a problem.

Again, I appreciate your help. If I have to live with it, then so be it.

@OldSims "main career"? So your sim is in two careers?

I don't understand how that can even happen. I've never seen a single sim in two separate careers at the same time.

Yes, it’s possible. I think I started doing it about a month ago.

If your sim is in multiple careers at the same time, something is definitely bugged. I'd love to see it, never heard of it happening before.

If your sim is corrupted, I'm not sure what can be done to fix it. You can try restoring an old save. There is an option on the load screen somewhere to restore a deleted auto-save. You can look in there to see if you have an old save you can roll-back to.
If you've tried the standard things like deleting cache, playing with no mods, repairing game files, I think this would be the only option left.

I’m gonna have to chalk this one up to old age. About a month ago I tried a mod that allowed you to have more than one career. I found it annoying and instead of removing it, I forgot all about it. Then I discovered Freelancer and thought of it like a part-time job... but it wasn’t. And every time I tried to remove it... well that was my frustration. “User Error” as my grandson calls it.
Apologies if I had your brain in overdrive... though I truly appreciate your help. Oh, using one of my old saved games was next on my list.

Lol. I was wondering how you could possibly have more than one career without mods. It's such an odd error. Normal game code just won't support it.

Glad you finally got it worked out.

Freelancer careers are part time as you must first look for a "Gig". Then you do the required work on your own schedule.
