What is wrong with the freelancer career?

I think it was bugged at first when it initially came out and it got bugged again with the latest patch a couple weeks ago. It was working perfectly fine until September patch from my understanding. I hadn’t played my freelancer sims in a while but when I last did they all worked perfectly. Hoping the fix it in October because I like the freelance careers a lot so it’s unfortunate they aren’t working well.

its a known bug its been reported

It is happening to me where everything will get done, checked off, but the gig remains and my sims doesn't get paid. Frustrating.

I used this career a week ago, had no problems. She even completed 3 gigs in a half day.

I discovered something that might help though; My sim had already a painting done in the matching category in her inventory, so instead of creating a new, she sold the old one. Customer accepted, but she was not paid. She then created a new work, and even if she kept it in her inventory she was then paid. So... if your sim has old works in inventory, this routine might get broken if you send the wrong item to the customer. Might be smart cleaning up inventory before starting the day.

I sign up for a gig (I'm doing the electrified artist branch) and my tasks are there but I do them and it doesnt register that I completed them. It doesnt matter what task it is. Chat, study reference materials, paint portrait on sketchpad. Doesnt acknowledge I do it and I dont get paid.

Quick Google search of this issue and you'll see posts from this forum from all the way back in April with the same problem. Has this career really been bugged for 6 months?

No mods or CC.

EA loves not patching big issues if it has nothing to do with the current expansion pack coming out. I love how trying to run a restaurant is bugged to all hell!

If you're still having a problem with this, you should head over to the PC Bugs part of the forum. I've had a lot of support from @SheriGR and @crinrict. It may not be sorted yet, but you can add your voice to the mix over there and it may be addressed sooner. Happy Simming :)

The freelancer career is broken in it's entirety. Almost none of the gigs are currently working properly after the RoM patch, especially the ones with multiple requirements in a single task. I tried both programmer and fashion photographer and neither is working correctly. Which means buying the Moschino pack which came out 2 months ago, perhaps even less, is pointless since the career already doesn't work well or at all. Quite pathetic when you think about it and beyond frustrating because freelancer careers are actually fun. Thank god for Graham who made these but sadly they no longer work.

I haven't had any problems until today. My sim is in the Freelance Writing career and one of the gigs has her write a feedback report. She's attempted to write the report, but it's not registering as complete. She's done it twice, now.

Hopefully it gets fixed next month. Not sure why it wasn't a priority. A whole career literally not functioning is a huge issue.

I don't understand how some people on this thread say they are having no issue though. I don't use mods or cc so shouldn't the bug be a problem we all have?

I think it's the Moschino pack that is causing the problem. I tested the artist, programmer and writer careers after RoM came out and they work perfectly.
