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 (latest 6/2/2021)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything BUT Journey to Batuu (Every Expansion, Game, Stuff, and Kit)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Join the Interior Decorator Career, choose a gig, and show up to a Sim's lot on time or even earlier to get to know the Client.
What happens when the bug occurs? When asking friendly socials such as "what's your favorite color/hobby/decor/music" their dislikes and likes show up in the Notification menu but not on the Career's client panel. Asking and preforming the Interior Designer socials like "ask for moodboard/show previous works/etc" doesn't show anything up on the panel either. When I try to build what they'd like in the designated room they dislike my work despite tailoring it to their needs, they still do not like what I've done. (ie, client likes black and purple and gothic farmhouse but dislikes the room when I use these features) I have even cheated in CAS to see likes/dislikes/hobbies/music, reputation still suffers. There are multiple bugs, including insufferable lag.
What do you expect to see? Asking the Client for their dislikes and likes for color/music/decor/hobby will show up in the Notification panel AND on the Career Client's panel. Building with said objects they like should give me some reputation and/or performance even if it isn't on the panel. I should not have to cheat to see likes and dislikes. Discovering what my Client likes either through friendly socials or career oriented socials, I think, should give me a 75-100% chance on first try. I should not have to spend the whole 12 sim hour shift trying to wring an answer out of the Client.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes

Please describe the patch or change you made. Downloading Dream Home Decorator (Latest Patch)
I use script mods like MCCC, , Skill Lock, Extreme Violence, Nisa's, UI Cheats Extension, Basemental, More CAS Columns for more quality of life in gameplay. I have updated all these mods to their 1.75 versions. I haven't tried running the game without these mods yet, but I've seen very similar issues others have had even when they don't run mods.
I also cannot see Sim Panel. (it is blank, or sometimes it will not show but the pause music will play) Sometimes when loading in the sim with the Interior Designer career, it will say she does not have a career but when I try to pick Interior Designer again, it does not show up on the list. I found that either recovering a save/reloading an older yet recent save fixes this error, but it is still annoying.
