This is frustrating. My sim has become a paranormal investigator and whenever I get him a gig, he goes to the gig, cleans the house of the spirits and everything else he is supposed to get, I get the all go that the house is clean and when the gig is supposed to end, it does not end! My sim can spend days at the gig and can't go home. I can't cancel the gig and the only when I can get him back home is to edit him in CAS. The gig shows up and poor and that he has done nothing. I have tried different gigs with the same problem. Any advice? This is why I bought this pack and now I can't be a paranormal investigator. Thanks.

Looks like a bug that happened with the last patch. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-PSP-Paranormal-Investigator-Can-t-complete-gig-because/m-p/10378962/highlight/true#M183561.I just went in to press "me too" also.

Oh great, one of my sims is a paranormal investigator. I haven't played her family since the patch though. This is rather annoying. :(

Nothing about a fix for this on this month's laundry list. :'( I'm assuming it's still happening?

Are you on PC or console? If you’re on pc do you have mods installed? If you have mods installed try removing your mods folder after exiting the game, then delete the localthumbcache file in documents>ElectronicArts>Sims4 then restart your game and see if the problem still exists if not then you know it’s a mod and you will need to use the 50/50 method to figure out the culprit. You can also try repairing your game by right clicking the cover art in your Origin library and select repair.

Hi there. I don't have any mods and I am on a PC laptop. I will try right clicking on the cover art in the Origin library. Hermitgirl: thanks for the link to the bug report page, what a joke. First no bug, then one. If the above option does not work I guess I will wait for a new patch as there is not much else you can do.Cheers.

Is this a Paranormal Investigator glitch?

I just did the repair option on the game and now NO gigs show up in the paranormal career at all. The career opp just does not seem to work until a future patch. Craptacular.

Likewise. My Paranormal Investigator sim has been on the side for a bit while book royalties from her and her sister pay the lot fees. I keep hoping to get back to that one, looks like I'll have to wait a bit. She was new to the career too, only did one gig so far - so it's gameplay I'd yet to explore.

Me too. I am going to find a new career for my sims. It sucks, but what else can you do? Just keep on simming!

There hasn't been another patch yet, so of course it's still happening. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next patch, even though it's not on the laundry list, but I wouldn't count on it.

I just played her family, and she wasn't even able to go to the gig! :'(
