@Psychotps , don't get me wrong... I do think it could have been done better and I hope they make changes. 🤞 I don't expect them to other than fix the apartment issue.
And even if there had been a violin painting that doesn't mean they would have tagged it for "violin". I don't even know if the skill book counted or not, but it made me feel better knowing I did all I could do. 😄
But I actually think putting a violin book in the bathroom makes perfect sense.... many people read in the bathroom, and a book on how to play the violin is better than having nothing to read at all! 😉😂
@PugLove888 my first gig with the interior design career was a bitter old woman. I had my Sim follow around this woman to ask her questions for ideas. When sitting on the couch, I THOUGHT I got her...yeah no. She gave me no design route, only useful information was she liked red before walking away for the 4th time. I'm thinking in my head, "lady...you requested a renovation..i didnt barge in to force this on you."
In comes this male adult who became a kinda-sorta-teeth grinding yet useful person to interview. I got from him: likes bowling, likes dancing, hate gardening. Still no decor route but whatever. I spent 4 and half sim hours chasing down that woman.
I remade a bare bedroom. I used a dance floor as a "rug" and that amp thingy that plays music was red so I tucked it in the corner. Used a few items like a retro clock, a bowling pin to set on the dresser and a cool picture of a strike out. The color scheme was a retro black and red that had me blown how nice it looked. Lol. That woman though...😐
by the time those two people came back for the reveal I'm not sure if I did something or the game kicked me out to do the "event" where you 'show this object', 'ask how is looks' etc. Dont know what they're ultimate reaction was but the game told me i did a good job and received 545ish simeleons.
*shrug* I did like the challenge after cooling down with no ultimate design direction.
@3Rosez while it is unsatisfying to not see their actual reactions, the fact remains that if you got paid for the job you succeeded! 🙌💗🥳 Had you failed you would have not gotten a dime! 😅 (I know because both have happened to me!)
My failure was my second gig. One was ok with my design but the other hated it so much he ran out of the house crying!😱🤣 I later had a chance to redeem myself with the same clients (why they would accept me after I failed them is not my business! lol ) I passed the second time!
I also had an experience like yours in which as soon as I clicked on the "reveal" button they gave me money without me showing them anything . But my reputation went up and I got paid , so it was all good with me! It was for a base game house in a new save ... the Kim-Spencer-Lewis family. That family has 5 members so I carefully went and asked each one for suggestions, but concentrating on the little girl since it was for a kid's room. They hated white but loved pink, black, yellow , and Rocket Science! 😅 I made a nice room with mostly pink (since the mom and little girl both loved pink) with some black and yellow in the mix I couldn't put a rocket in the room, so I used some cheats and put in the Rocket skill book Vol. 1 on the desk, along with a completed rocket school project that came with the Parenthood GP. The book and the rocket project probably didn't count but they didn't hurt either since I got paid! Placing these items made me feel like I did all I could do to make the clients happy. I was sad that I didn't get to see all their reactions, so I understand how you feel! That said, I wonder since there were 5 people as my clients if that made any bearing on why the game skipped the reveal, slide show, the interior designer showing off certain items, etc. 🤔 Or it could have been random. 🤷♀️
Anyway, the fact you succeeded with such difficult clients who didn't want to give you information/instruction is wonderful! 🙌🏆🥰🥳
