Get Famous is not working.

When I let my famous sim choose a job, and he invites producer and staff over, he doesn't get the call for going on the studio and is not being payed. It is so boring.

    I just can't believe that the game/the actor career can't be fixed by those who make the game. I refuse to install mods just to have a working game!
  • I have used mods in every edition of sims game I have played, because unfortunately EA has a habit of moving on to the next iteration of the game without fixing multiple bugs and issues with the previous one. I do agree that we shouldn't have to use mods to have a working game, however with the current trend it seems modders are more dependable to get fixes from than EA.

    Classic EA. An Expansion pack comes out a year ago and when there's a problem with it they ignore it because it's not the money maker anymore. I thought this was a problem with my mods and was disappointed that I'd have to disable them if I wanted to do the Actor Career again (something I've only done once when it first launched and wanted to do it again). Now I'm even more disappointed to find out that it's not even my fault! It's just another broken feature!


    There's a script mod by Brainblasted that fixes this bug with Sims not attending gigs in the acting career.


    Where do you find this mod? I tried looking around but I can't find anyone called Brainblasted

    It seems as though the acting career is broken...very disappointing. I hope they fix it soon.

    There is however a workaround this bug:

    https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/WORKAROUND-GF-Acting-Career-Sim-not-getting-gig-pop-up/m-p/8930411#M127294

    "Cancel any stuck gigs you already have. You won't be able to complete them
    Get a new gig
    If you don't have the perk that allows you to skip auditions, you're allowed to travel until you have to go to the audition. I would make sure you're on the home lot before the audition starts.
    Do not travel, Go to CAS, the Map, Household Manager or reload the save game until you get the pop-up to go to work. No Loading screens allowed between the audition and the gig.
    It's no problem to let the the Sim go to the audition or other rabbit hole events. If you have another active career you play in that household, always send the Sim alone.
    Once you get the gig pop-up you can join the Sim at the set and do the task there. There should be no problem fulfilling them.
    You can then travel again until you get the next gig.
    You can save your game in between but not re-load or turn off."

    I think I'm too new to the forums for the link to work, but here's the url: https://thefreshsims.tumblr.com/post/616054851635396608/acting-career-gig-fix

    It fixed my Sims being able to go to acting gigs.

    I hope they fix this soon and not wait over a year like with street gallery for City Living. The work around is inconveniencing and the Sims need to get paid so they can pay their rent. It's also boring gameplay if your Sim has to wait to go an audition and then, wait again, doing nothing before the eventual gig. Especially, when they could be doing other activities off the lot or visiting other worlds. Otherwise, EA should at least shorten the wait time in between gigs until they fix this bug.
