Heya guys, I'm playing Sims 4 with a few expansions, including Get Famous. My adult (not elder) Sim who was a double diamond agent got one of the little pop ups where you have to make a choice for t...

Have you tried fix the game in Origin?
Origin/Library - right click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
If that does not help, check if it is possible to start this job again. Probably she will be promoted very fast and reach this level very quickly.
But it still looks like a game bug. Unfortunately, no one has yet reported it, at least I have not heard about such a bug - so the chance to fix it quickly by EA is small. So we need to find a way to work around this problem.
I don't work for EA
I will go try to repair it and let you know how it goes. Thanks for your help. I really wish I had gotten a screenshot of the thing. Would've made reporting it easier. :-(
She no longer gets alerts that she needs to go to work, but she still isn't getting any retirement money. So in short I effectively quit my job because the pop up was worded terribly.
@Guiboulou Unfortunately that is probably the case. I have had similar yet different popup-offer things that came in after Get Famous for my sims in various top-level careers, and sometimes it offers a 'fame' benefit, but not always, if memory serves. I would only choose the option if you're ready for a new career, don't need the job any more (if you're really rich and want to buy a business or something instead, or have a career they can do from home just fine (painter, writer, computer programmer, etc.). Definitely not worth the 'buyout'.
I had forgotten about that, but didn't you get the option to retire and take a pension at top level careers in Sims 2? I can't remember. That would be a great option if you want to try a new career.
Also, as @kreatora mentioned, if you re-join the career you seem to go up the promotion levels faster, though personally how fast this goes seems to vary per career, in my experience.
It's really frustrating, especially since my save seems all messed up now regarding that Sim's career. Before I repaired, she got random alerts to go to work despite being "retired" (unemployed). And then last night, when I loaded my game back up after dinner, she had the stupid icon that allows you to choose how you want your sim to work, except it's stuck on Taking Risks and I can't click it at all. It's just permanently there in the corner of her portrait. The dialogue box just straight up broke everything related to that Sim's career. :-(
Let this be a warning to anyone who finds this thread: pick the option that allows your Sim to continue working.
