[LD] Reaper: Unable to research assignments

It should appear on all of them.

Try the following

• Close the game
• Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
• Repair the game
• Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry. 
• Start a new save game
• Check if you still have the error
• Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

Hey. Sadly i havent. But it is great to hear that i am not the only one. 

Thankfully this issue does not affect gameplay very much. 

I guess EA has to look into this issue and patch it eventually. 

I'm dealing with the same issue. I've also noticed that the bookshelves that came with the game lack the Thanatology "research historic deaths" interaction. I tested bookshelves from a variety of different packs and not even all of the basegame ones have that option for me. I've been guessing that the issue with the Reaper career and the lack of the other interaction are the same bug, though could be wrong. It seems weird that some bookshelves have that interaction and most seem to be lacking it.

I just tried following your advise and it seems to have worked for me. Both the "research historical deaths" and "research assignment" options are now showing up on the bookshelves. I would appreciate the information on how to merge my files into the new Sims folder, though I know I'm not who you initially offered that information to.

Has anyone figured out the cause of this bug?  I'm having it as well.

@Panthisia 

You can now start to copy back things from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old to the new Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder that was created.

First only copy (I suggest to copy so you can go back in case anything goes wrong along the way) the content of the folder Saves (these are your save games). If you are prompted if want to overwrite a save, decide if you want to keep that testing save you just made or not. If not, just overwrite if, if you want to keep it, rename the save to a different number that isn't taken.

Test just your save game with nothing else added back. If that works, you can start copying back the rest. If not, check back.

You will need the following folders

- Tray (your households and lots you have saved to library)- Custom Music (if you added any)
- Screenshots (if you've taken any)
- Videos (if you've taken any)
- ConfigOverride (if you made any although I recommend redoing those)
- Options(.ini) (although I recommend to just redo your settings in the game)

Now test again. If that still works, you can put back your mods. Put them back in groups and make sure they are still compatible with the game.

All other files are recreated and not needed.

For everyone else with this issue. Please add the following info to your post

- Are you using mods/cc

- What platform are you playing on ?

- Is your Sim an occult ? (if yes, what kind)

- Could you try if it works on a new save/different Sim

For me this was caused by [grimcookies] 'MODERN OFFICE' - bookshelf.package and [grimcookies] 'MODERN OFFICE' - bookshelf empty.package in my Mods folder. I had a similar issue with the Reaper work assignments not showing on the slablet that was caused by MidniteTech's Simazon Unlimited mod.

@simmehchan27 Thank you for the reports! Please do let the creators know.

I was having the same problem. Removed [grimcookies]’MODERN OFFICE’ bookshelves and now the research function is working.
