Does anyone know if there is a mod that fixes the current bug in the acting career? The career is currently completely useless and unplayable. I've been playing every other career in the game and really want to get back into acting.I think fixing this is beyond my skills as a modder.I posted a bug report in AHQ about 2 months ago and it's got about 500 "me too"s. Doesn't look like it's gonna be fixed any time soon. I want a mod to fix it so I can play it again without cheating constantly like I have to in the detective career.BTW... if anyone has the same problem head over there and "Me Too" it. Maybe if they get another thousand hits they might actually think about fixing it.https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-GF-Actor-Prep-Tasks-reset-on-traveling/m-p/8533570#M115107

I thought that was fixed in the most recent patch; do they still show as uncompleted when you travel?

I have this but it doesn't bother me as it is a purely visual bug. Even though the gigs are no longer shown as completed after travelling, the game very well recognizes them as being completed when determining the outcome of the gig.

In the past, as long as my sim matched the base skill for the gig and did all the prep tasks and work-day tasks, I could always select the "Risky" options and they would NEVER fail. The "Risky" tasks fail more than half the time now.There's still a bug there somewhere, whether it's cosmetic or not I'm not sure. However I suppose it's more realistic and less OP to have them fail at least some of the time. I just started a new playthrough so we'll see how it works on the higher acting career levels.Edit: Yeah, it's definitely not working. In dozens of playthroughs this is the first time I haven't gotten gold, and I've done EVERY task.

My Sim does fail sometimes, but I find it realistic and so far, she never failed to an extend were it woul stop her from reaching gold status for a gig.

Get Famous broken... mod to fix?

The parch did not fix this issue,. But fortunately it still did not stop ny sim from reaching the top of the career. So, you don't have to stop playing the actor career.

Strange, because I just played an actor a couple of days ago and it was working just fine.
