So I don’t know if this is just my game but whenever I play with a specific household for a while and I decide to switch over to another household that I haven’t played yet, the sims in that new unplayed household have already quit their jobs for new careers that they don’t have the skill points for.Is this happening in anyone else’s game?It’s really annoying because then I have to make them quit their new careers and return to the old careers starting at Level 1 :s

Before I got into mods, one of my sims was an athlete, then I marked him as unplayed and he became a writer. I noticed this once with one premade, when Moira Fyres, unemployed, decided to become a politician :D

AH, yes in my games it's not uncommon where premades just up and drop their designated jobs for something else if the game decides it needs to fill the correct "niche" in a save. In fact, I always see the usual premades in the same specific roles all the time bc of this! Like how Geoffrey Landgraab became a vet in 3 diff saves of mine.

This always happens now and it is annoying - they pull the premades to fill all the roles - like vendors and bartenders. Since every new pack usually adds more roles - more and more premades lose their original jobs . I thought that is what townies are supposed to be for.

@kalaksed I believe Mila Munch was a caterer(?) originally; I noticed she has clothes from at least one branch of the Culinary career, and ties into her initial membership in Clara Bjergsen's cooking club.

Do you have any mods that enables story progression?

Nope.

I don’t have any mods or CC in my game.

And those sims have jobs because you created them yourself or downloaded them from the gallery with jobs already, right?
Then that is really odd. I have never had this happened to me as far as I can remember. It must be some sort of bug, sorry I can't be more helpful.

Actually, no. The Sims that I’m talking about are premade.

For instance, Mortimer Goth comes in the game with a career as a writer (I know this because I just know). But if I play with another household for too long and I decide that I want to play the Goths for the first time, by the time I get there Mortimer has probably quit his job to become a doctor or something.

Am I making sense?

Yes you are ;)
I never play or paid attention to premades' jobs but the game shouldn't have any sort of story progression like that, I don't think the issue is by design.

But I swear I don’t use mods or custom content (I’m wayyy too paranoid) so I really don’t know what’s going on there.
