[MOD RELATED] [DHD] Game freezes after reveal/Grey overlay

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
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? 1.75.125.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By playing the pack.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim will go to work (interior designer), she will complete all the goals but once she’s finished her job the screen freezes and looks faded.
What do you expect to see? I’d expect it not to freeze and for it to come up saying that my sim was successful or not successful at her job.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. It started happening after I downloaded the dream home decorator pack and it only happens with that career, I have updated all my mods to the latest versions post patch and removed my mods and the problem still persists.

whenever I send my sim to an interior design gig she can complete all the goals without any issues but once the gig is completed I do not get a pop up to say whether she was successful or not and my game completely freezes (as shown in the screenshot) and the screen fades.. I have updated all my mods to the current and latest updates that were released after the patch and the packs release and I have removed my mods folder and the problem still persists.. this happens at the end of every single gig and the only way I can unfreeze is by closing the game all together. Also when I go into task manager to see if the game is unresponsive it says it’s responding so it’s not a normal freezing issue caused by the PC itself.

    The conflicting career in my files is itskatato - psychology career. 

    me I have thousands upon thousands of mods and cc so I’ll keep going to make sure there’s nothing else, if there is I’ll let you all know as I find them, if not I’ll let you know when I’ve finished if that’s the only conflicting file I had.

    Just finished putting all my files back in, the only conflict that was affecting DHD was the itskatato career so if any of you have that one then that’s likely your culprit.

    Oh no, I still freezing…  Good thing now I saved before the reveal… 

    so I will try again without my itskatato folder 🤷‍♀️

  • I thought I’d have issues with all the itskatato careers but it was literally just the psychology one. 

  • @MinniesEden Yep, it was a career for me for sure. I don't understand why but it messes up the UI for the reveal slideshow so the job cant complete. Just have to make sure whichever career mods you have in game are currently up to date. If they've been updated recently they should be fine.

    Well, for me it’s stills freeze when I succeed, at the same time of the little music with the “nice work” notification, it’s gray and on pause automatically.  It’s does this even after putting off my itskatato files and of course erase my localthunrbailcache…

    @ArcadieCalliope That’s where it went wrong with mine too, I would still get the last pop up (the one like get famous) but I never saw the slideshow so it must’ve been interfering with that part causing the grey overlay and appearing frozen because it was preventing the game from playing out how it has been coded to.
  • @MinniesEden Not a permanent fix but trying to close sims 4 via your taskbar will make the save and exit window pop up, this closes the grey overlay and resumes your game!
  • @themeow333 I tried this at the time I was having this issue and unfortunately it didn’t work for me.. I did find the cause and it was a conflicting career mod that was interring with the pay out part of the gig.
