Unlucky Chef scenario glitching?

So I'm doing the Unlucky Chef scenario, and everything was going well, until my Sim reached the Pastry Chef career, and had a toddler.

Now, when my character was a pastry chef, it suddenly got stuck. It would randomly send my character to "work" and she'll come back later, getting paid less than what she was supposed to be making. She'd get back, and after an hour, go back to work. She would do this until the official work hours were done. The tod was sent to daycare twice each day.

Now that's not the only weird thing. She had all the qualifications to get a raise, but never actually got one. Then, she got tense. Because she was "missing work" and each day that passes of doing that weird work thing, she gets more tense.

On top of that, no skill was levelling up. I would have the bar completely filled and it would just stay there, shinning, but never levelling up.

I've had to close and update the game twice.

After updating the second time, being told my game's up to date and all, I opened it again and was able to get a raise to Sous Chef and my toddler got her skills up. But as soon as my character went to work a third time, the whole thing started happening again.

I have no mods applied and haven't even used any codes or cheats.
