    okay so I think this is actually just a feature of the pack and not a bug??? it's a little confusing though

    @jasoglia No, I don't thinks so. Never had this happen but if your Sim is say a Vampire, that could be for a reason.

    Hence the question to narrow down why it's happening.

    my sim isn't occult, and they got an scared emotion upon returning from the failed investigation saying they were too scared to complete it alone, so it's definitely a feature of the pack.

    I am trying to figure this pack out myself and I think the last update helped; I have finally completed a hands on Expert Gig after failing several times before. I noticed I had to purchase the Brave trait otherwise they were too scared to do anything half the time. I would grind aspirations until you get 8k points, get the Brave trait, and then see if that helps! Also keep in mind even with the Brave trait, your sim will still get scared it just goes away really quick!

    I just ran into this problem too. Before even starting a gig, I had to purchase the Brave trait in order to prevent my sim from being too scared. I’ve been having trouble completing the gigs but finally moved to Excellent. So this time I had her go alone and halfway in she was too scared even with the Brave trait. This doesn’t make any sense and I hope the developers fix it!

    It's really annoying to me that the game tries to get you to go with a sim to their gigs with that moodlet, seeing as the moodlet suggests that you do this.  I get that it's an active career and is meant to be played that way, or at least sometimes, but what if you don't want a particular sim to do active gigs?  Too bad?  Gotta fail even the easy gigs randomly?  That's just unfair and limits gameplay styles.

    At least make the harder gigs locked until you progress in the career to certain points, and/or guarantee that the sim finishes the harder gigs at those career levels, give a higher or maxed success chance with higher Medium skills, and a better success chance with the Brave Trait... and maybe even with the new Skeptic and Macabre Traits.
