Maybe I'm missing something but how in the heck am I supposed to complete my freelance gigs? My sim is a freelance programmer and no matter what I do I can't an option to do the gig and when I think I did nothing says it's completed. Am I dense or is something broken at the moment?

I have tried the programming branch, but did you call the client? On the Sim or a computer, under freelance, what are your options? I'm doing the writer and painter branches and haven't had any problems yet. Hover over each task, what does it tell you to do? With one of my writers gigs, she had to write a motivational book. So I had to get her confident, write a motivational book. There was no option to do it under freelance, it was a normal write book option.

I found my issue, if you have CC or mods check those.

Repeat until you get the tasks complete. My sim is a freelancer and has made websites! He's now almost a level-2 celebrity because of this.

I put my first Sim in the freelance career as a writer. I had him contact the client, got the check mark. Done. But, I foolishly had him write the book, which ended up in his inventory and by the way it's excellent, but I didn't choose the correct option on the computer. So, this excellent book sits in his inventory and he's having to write the fantasy all over again. :open_mouth: Live and learn, I guess. Oi!

do you have the ui cheat extension mod? that's what broke it for me

All this stuff from April is great, but I only started having a problem since I got Batuu. Haven't been there. My sim is in college & just got kicked off the Space-force (Astronaut Career) because he wouldn't look the other way, so freelancing seemed like a good idea. Except even when the job is done & the client says Yes this is exactly what we are looking for, the gig won't close. It keeps running till it times out & he gets a bad review. No money is changing hands, but they are getting the product. Seriously, making more money selling art on Plopsy. But I've taken all the recommended steps, run repair, no mods, deleted files... playing on windows (whatever comes before 10). This is the first time I've had a sim have a problem with free-lancing, so I figure it's Batuu. Any recommendations that haven't been covered yet?

The freelancer career is currently broken again. It was broken in April last year , it broke for some people in like October/November last year and here we are again.

You’ll have to wait for the developers to fix it again. Idk why the freelancer career is so messed up.

For the digital art freelancing, everything was through the freelance option on the computer and tablet. I haven't tried programming yet though =/

Same problem here. It had the options to talk to the client and to encrypt files (which was what the job was for), but neither fulfilled the gig requirement and my sim ended up failing it.

This bit confused me so much when I tried to do it in game and I don't really like having to be in an in particular mood to complete a task.

yep, the ui extension was the problem, does anybody know if the ui extension has been updated to go with the new patch?

No, it still hasn't been updated.

I'm waiting for a few of my more invasive mods to be updated before I even crack open my game again. That's one of the ones I'm watching...

Ok, so I am using the UI extension mod, so that's what's doing it. Thanks for all the info guys! I will remove that until it's updated.
