Cannot write any comedy routines

Hi, I read through earlier threads and I don't think my problem is there. My Sim is Level 7 Comedy and is a "Rising Star" at his entertainment job. In order to earn a promotion, he has to (among other things) Write/Perform Routines. I made him (on his computer) continue composing an existing routine, which was clickable, but it wouldn't appear  on the left side actions icons and he won't do it. I tried a few times. I also noticed that he had 2 partially written routines, so I scrapped those, and I can still click Write/Perform Routines, but he won't do it. They were medium routines. No option for short or long routines. He can gain comedy skill when talking to his girlfriend, so that will help him get to the necessary Level 8, but that takes forever.

He just went from Young Adult to Adult before I tried getting him to write. Could there be a glitch there somehow? I really don't want to have to resort to cheats to complete his task.

Thanks!

    Update: I had him Practice Comedy Routine in the mirror. No skill bubble thing above his head. So I figured he wasn't getting experience. But all of a sudden he became Level 8 comedy anyway. It did not count as his daily task though! So I sent him back to the computer to compose a medium routine. Again, it's an available option and clickable, but nothing happened. I noticed that now I can select Compose Long Routine, so I did, but it does nothing also! He has never written a long routine yet, so why would he not be able to now that he's Level 8?

  • Hi @cheesewombat

    there's only a certain amount you can write. Don't know if the scratched ones somehow counted.

    Are you using any mods/cc ?
