Is anyone playing the paranormal investigator career?

Hi all. I was just wondering if anybody is playing the paranormal investigator career at the moment? I am going to start a new save, and this career is what I specifically hand in mind for my sim. The problem is, I've heard the career is bugged. I was just wondering if it's working ok for anybody? There is already an open thread about this on Answers HQ, I'm just wondering if anybody is having a positive experience?
  • I have one sim that still does it. The rabbithole works fine and I haven't had any problems with beginner and moderate level investigations. Every once in a while I have a high level one that I can't complete for some reason.

    I just started the career again after a long time, so far it is working just fine but I didnt do any high level gigs yet.

    One thing I remember from before is to always perform a ritual at the jobs (using the summoning circle) since it counts towards the progress bar and sometimes it took some time for the game to load in the haunted stuff (ghosts, puddles, dolls and so on), so I just perform the ceremony instead of standing arround waiting for stuff to spawn.
  • It works well during the first couple of gigs, but then no more ghosts will spawn and it becomes frustrating. That's a pity because this could be the best freelancer career in the game. EA never fixed this since the release of the pack.
  • Thanks for your input all!

    Yeah, this is what I heard. Still a problem then? How annoying! Still, I guess I'll see how it goes.

    Reading for inspiration. Last time I updated my game I downloaded a bunch of haunted lots so that I would be able to give this career a try. Hope it won’t be too buggy.
  • Paranormal Investigator Startup Instance Fix By TwelfthDoctor1 fixed this issue for me, if you use mods. It is a shame they haven't taken the time to fix this issue though.
  • I played it the other day for a video (unreleased right now). I did have issues with the UI at the top of the screen. It was just blank but I just chalked it up to a mod that I didn't update. I'm not sure what the bugs are but the UI is my only issue so far.

    I was playing it last fall. It was not buggy at all for me. Great gameplay.

    It’s been a while, but last time I played a Paranormal Investigator, it worked fine… as long as you didn’t get a job that took you to an apartment. (In which case, I found myself unable to even go inside.)
