Freelancer Career broken with today's patch

oct 1 still not working for me hope it gets fixed soon

So that's what's going on. I was wondering why my Freelance programmer got stiffed by her client on her first gig. I thought I had failed to do the right tasks in the right order, but if it's a bug in the game, that's something else again.

Me too :'(

Please fix freelance jobs.....single mom needs to be home working....???

it's really a bad look when you have these significant bugs (freelancer and NAPs) and largely crickets from the dev team. C'mon! Is it that hard to give a rip about your consumers/fans!?!

They care. They just won't announce a fix before they have one. These are known issues. That means they are being worked on. Be patient.

How about a deal: We are patient with the bugs and are patient to take our money?

I really hope they fix this soon, I know there's a mod to help, but I hope they fix it and I can use one less mod to fix the bugs and maybe finally enable my EL pack again, I really wanted my candle maker, she was gonna do the Freelance Crafter, I know I could with mod but just shouldn't have to

There is nothing entitled about expecting bug fixes or expecting Maxis to stop breaking things with every patch. If modders can fix this, Maxis can.

Exactly.
If you have all the dlc you have spent over £700 on the sims 4 and it’s not even finished. You have earned the right to complain. That’s not entitlement, that’s expecting a product you have purchased to work as advertised. There are too many people who take criticism of this game as an attack on them and I can’t understand why. My Husband is a game dev, I don’t care who criticises the games he makes, I have criticisms of them at times. A criticism of the game isn’t an attack on him personally so I don’t get upset about it.

It doesn’t give the right to be personally attacking game devs but I haven’t saw that here. I agree people absolutely have the right to talk about bug fixes and be upset when a bug STILL isn’t fixed especially when it’s been a long term problem. Mods shouldn’t be the answer.

Just because EA knows about a bug doesn't mean they're going to fix it. Look at all the bugs Maxis left in Sims 2 and Sims 3, leaving the games unplayable for most without some type of mods to fix them. Why on earth would anyone think that fixing bugs is a priority for Sims 4? The players need to let the devs know that the bugs are unacceptable. But the devs also know that modders will fix the issues -- the biggest problem with that approach is that consoles also need the bug fixes now.
