Acting career cannot be joined

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? 中文(繁體)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.83
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All the packs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim in acting career, get a gig and pass the audition, do anything that would cause loading (such as traveling, saving, loading, get into CAS, etc.).
What happens when the bug occurs? The sim with a gig have no "join the work" pop up. Gig cannot be jointed. It is the bug just like the one with the patch 1.62.
What do you expect to see? The "join the work" could pop up when the scheduled gig time comes, and player could join the gig with the actor sim, no matter whether the loading happened before the gig or not.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

The sim with a gig have no "join the work" pop-up. In fact, there was nothing happen when the working time comes. The actor sim could go to work only by clicking the sim and found the "go to work" option, then the sim would go to the gig like the normal rabbit hole work.

Also, if the active gig had been deleted three times or more, the one-hour ahead notification would never show up, and the work cannot be joined forever, even there was no loading before.

  • After several tests, I finally got the reason of the actor career bug: it was caused by the mod that increases the gig salary. The reason I didn't get the correct message pop up must be that I did not quit the current job and get a new actor career (or get a new save).

    I guess maybe not only the mod altering the payment that would cause the issue, but all the mods that would have something changed within the actor career which came out before 1.63 and never got updated after would be a problem. 

    I would leave the solution here in case anyone had the same problem.

  • Well, I know we are at 1.84 now. But I'd like to postpone the updating until the new pack comes out. Maybe I should take this issue after I update my game to 1.84, and then check if the bug could be fixed or not.

    Anyway, thanks for your reply. I'll come back a few days later.
