Bug/oversight after newest patch?

I couldn't find a thread where this would fit so I opened my own. Maybe other simmers can add little bugs/oversights they've noticed after the newest patch too.

My sim is ambitious and a freelancer. She is being quite succesful at it, however, this moodlet keeps appearing

I would like for my ambitious sims to be content when their freelance jobs go well. I guess it was just an oversight.

    Freelancers are not in a traditional career, so they are not being promoted. I can see where it wouldn’t be a perfect fit for a traditionally ambitious Sim/person.

    I think it's fine.

    The moodlet itself refers to the "corporate ladder" - Working for someone else in a business hierarchy. Can't climb a ladder you aren't even on.

    Freelancing is better suited to Non-Committal sims. Wonder if they get any special moodlets about joining that career?
  • I see your point but to me that is a really old-fashioned way of understanding what ambitious means. Specially in a game that keeps incorporating modern/contemporary options when it comes to careers.
    So yes, it makes sense since the text mentions a corporate but no, it doesn't make sense for the game itself.
    So maybe they could change the text to accommodate the new careers (it is also an issue with Sims registered in the ministry of labour) or at least have this moodlet not appear on Sims that are freelancers/self-employed.
  • My sims are still appearing at the wrong lots when being invited out and most of the time the sim that invites them ditches them pretty much straight away leaving my sim to entertain him/herself. That's really the only thing I've noticed since the patch.
  • I believe I've shared this somewhere, or I meant to and got side tracked (very possible).

    I think this is a major bug in the game. My sims is a freelance painter. And she met with the client.

    I got this pop up...

    Which says that the meeting went sublime and was great and blah blah blah.

    Yet she got this buff from the meeting, which is exactly opposite of what the popup said.

    And it wasn't an isolated incident, cause her and my freelance writer have both got conflicting popup/buff combos a few times.
  • A teen in a family of four had happy buff about how fast a toddler grew up from leveling up a skill to level 3, the family doesn't have any toddlers and doesn't know any. I created them created last night after the patch so they didn't have the occasion to meet new people yet, so there was no way she could have the buff unless it was a bug.

    Hey folks, so the best place to discuss bugs really is The Sims 4 AHQ

    We don't really have any ability to do anything about them here on this forum which is why it was moved to AHQ. I'd recommend posting any bugs you find there so they can be looked into. I'm going to close off this thread.
