I haven't played it in a while until today; my sim went to decorate someone's house and she completed the furnishings, did the before and after photos etc and called the client's back to the house - I got the window pop up top left with the list of things to complete, like 'show renovations' etc. She did the first item (show renovations) and the whole thing just completed without the before and after photo reveal, anyone's opinions, or showing specific items.Is anyone else playing that career at the moment?

It's broken. I just got the pack for christmas and I've done four reno gigs. Twice I've had the same thing happen that you described. Then one time I faced problems with locked doors and only once the gig went through without problems.I had an idea but haven't tested it yet. It's to make sure the sims are on the same level when revealing the reno. I remember both times I had the problem my sim was standing on a foundation and the clients were standing on the ground. I don't know if this could be the cause.

Yep, it’s been like that since it came out.

@musteni my sim and the clients were all on the same level, it didn't help :( @Kita5399 thanks for the links, I had looked there first but am terrible at finding anything specific on that site.

I just hope they repair it and Dine Out. Content shouldn't be broken for any length of time. Broken gameplay should be a priority for being fixed.

That happened to my sim as well, but I thought I must have done something wrong as I didn't bother too much with the pictures taking.

Thank you for replying @crocobaura

I will give it another go and see if the same thing happens...

I have had this happen a few times. I did notice that this happened once when my sim finished the remodel, but the clients took a long time getting to the door of the lot. I hit the gig time limit and it booted me out. I have been meaning to try multiple remodels to see if this might be a cause, but I haven't played DHD in a while.

I guess I won't worry too much that I have yet to play that career. I had the perfect Sim for it, too. But, she's now married to a physician and they have twin Toddlers. Beside all of that, I'm not playing that household at the moment. But, now I won't feel to badly about not having explored this pack. Pity, it sounded like so much fun, too.

I agree & I would add Eco Lifestyle & Cottage Living to the above list. I'm interested in purchasing DHD, EL & CoL, but at this point, I refuse to spend any more money on packs that contain major bugs.
