Sim not getting paid for odd jobs

so my sims cant complete odd jobs. example is i needed to beach comb the beach for trash which i did but it wouldn't count towards the job, also went away for another job and it came up saying my sim was off to work and away he went but then when he returned i just got a text saying he never turned up so i cant earn money from the jobs as its saying im not even attending them. cant complete other odd jobs as nothing counts towards it.. wondered if anyone else is having this problem and if it is a known bug
