@JonaO703 In your report you state that you use custom content do you also use modifications and cheats? Because you can always choose to cheat and demote the Sim in question back to the moment he/she had to choose the next fase of the career path. When you choose to do so you can open the cheat options
Spoiler
And type in the bar the words: 'careers.demote entertainer' without the quotation marks. You have to play the Sim you want to demote.
Have fun playing. 😉
@Trismagistos Thank you! Why didn't I think of that? I was just planning to revert to a previous save but I think using the cheat would be better.
@crinrict Thanks for the reply. While I understand why the issue isn't exactly a bug, it should still be addressed. Little glitches like the one I mentioned happen all the time. The game continues for a few seconds while moving from in-game to manage worlds or travel. I often get in-game notifications in the worlds view. However, this time, my sim came home with a promotion during the transition and the game decided his career branch should be Comedian. I didn't get the prompt to choose. Even without a glitch or some other accidental selection, going to university to change branches isn't the solution. What if a player doesn't have the University pack? Actually, this sim just completed the Fine Arts degree specifically to set him up for the Musician track. It takes a rather long time to get through the degree program and I don't relish the idea of going through it again just to change branches.
So, before using the cheat, I decided to look at a couple previous saves and one of them immediately loaded with the choose branch prompt. I'm certainly glad to be able to recover that save and I'm not trying to be difficult but I still think it would be better to have the option for sims to change branches within career tracks at any time. I'm so grateful to have this forum for discussion and feedback. Many thanks to all of you helping players resolve issues!
