Actors not getting option to practise romantic scenes.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.70.84.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except Eco Lifestyle (uninstalled) Col Kitchen, Spooky Stuff, Movie Hangout, Kids Room, Fitness, Toddler, Laundry Day, My First Pet, Tiny Living, Paranormal.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Forgive me. I really have no clue!
What happens when the bug occurs? My actors, level 10 all, can't prep for their gigs by performing the Romantic Scene. All I get showing up in the options is Sci-fi Scenes or Action scenes.
What do you expect to see? An option to do any acting prep taks that is required of my sim.
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 

I've had this bug a long time, and have been skipping certain gigs so that I can avoid the romantic prep.  Not good when I got get famous to get my sims into the acting career.  I've removed mods, but there's still no option either on the sim itself or another sim.  Sorry if this issue has been posted before, but I did a search and there doesn't seem to be one befitting of my problem.  Thank you for your help, if you can.

    @Psychotps Just to let you know, and I'll post this on the other thread I created, I have found that having more than 3 members of the household in the acting career stops the romantic and horror actions. I had added a 4th actor and only one had a gig lined up, but no options for romantic or horror. So is this by design? I'd really like to find out from a Dev here. So to clarify, only 3 actors allowed in one household. Thanks again.

    @Psychotps My! that was quick. Thanks for letting me know. I'll be at Google very soon! Yes, that darn host taking ages to come to the awards, while my sims sit there bored out of their brains! (Because I become God then and take full autonomy off them!). Would you believe, my sim who I moved to another house, can't get a gig now? I had to cheat to get him the gig he wanted! It started off he couldn't get the gig he wanted but could get the one he did last week. Then I decided I didn't want him to do the same gig twice, so I checked for gigs again and he couldn't get one! Do these GF problems never end. Might have to start a new thread. Yawn... Oh and I did test without mods.

    Try changing agencies. Different agencies offer different gigs. (And different payouts) "Well Suited" tends to offer a lot of movies. "Everyday" tends to offer mostly commercials and tv shows...

    I've been modding a VERY long time. VERY LONG. Been hacking into game files for more than 20-30 years. I wrote a program back in... when was it... 1992? I cracked the Ultima 7 game files and made a map editor/viewer program. Been making save-game editor programs longer than that. I still have an old Ultima 4 save editor I made back in the 80's stored away somewhere. Have made hundreds of mods for Skyrim and Fallout... I even have a custom launcher program for Detroit on Nexus.

    These little mods for Sims are nothing.

    Sadly, and I don't know what's caused this, but I can only have one actor in the household now or not all the practise scenes will show up.  Couldn't get the romantic one again, while another sim was in the acting career.  So I had one quit his job (he's won tons of awards anyway and I thought it nice to let a younger member of the house to keep going) and my workaround until this is fixed (and I emphasise FIXED because this is not how GF should work, surely???) is to have just one sim in the acting career.  Yeah!  You bet I modded our pay up because of this!  Please, guys.  Please tell me what this is about, why this is happening, if it's by design, or a random bug.  I was happily playing 2 sims, but now I'm down to one!  This doesn't sound right or sit well.  You know I've removed mods, tested, done all I can, so begging for a logical answer and/or fix.  What's GF pack for if only one can succeed?  I know they can all walk around just being famous for famous sakes, but that's no fun!  I don't want a bunch of posers, I want hard working actors, which I thought I would get.  Sorry if I sound harsh, but can you imagine my frustration at this simple bug that's ruining the purpose of my storyline and whole game?  Thanks if anyone can think of a way to sort this.  I have only about 5 saves in my folder, clear cache, nothing that would impact the game.  I await a Devs reply.

  • It definitely is the game. I’ve never played with mods and I’m having the same issue, but instead I am only getting romantic scenes and none of the other options meant to appear.

    @kai_333777  This bug report has been moved to General Section, probably by a player with administrative rights, since I see no official EA statesment in the thread. If you want a proper response from EA personnel/the personnel responsible for game development, you need to make a new bug report in Bug Reports section. Linking to this one would be good for clarification.

  • The way to do it is by clicking on another sim and selecting perform scene. You have to perform the scene twice to get to 100%.
