Social Event Tasks Won't Appear

Issue


When I have a party or send a sim on a date, the tasks needed to complete the social event successfully won't appear. The modal won't pop out of the side of the screen. I only have the option to end the event. 

Without access to the event tasks, the event ultimately ends in failure, resulting in a plague of bad dates and disappointing birthday parties.

I think this user also had the same issue (but it's in spanish) http://answers.ea.com/t5/Los-Sims-4/Barra-de-objetivos-en-eventos-sociales-esta-oculta/m-p/4970238#M4799 

While their issue seems to have been resolved, nothing I try has worked. 

This thread also deals with it but there's no solution: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/840392/social-event-tasks 

Steps you took for Issue to occur

Moving into a new house, the neighbors greeting social event didn't work.

When I'm invited on a date.

I went to a birthday party. 

Where does the bug occur ?

This happens across multiple households and lots and even multiple games. 

I noticed the issue about 2 weeks ago, sometime after the update with Newcrest.

The bug was still there when I started a new game for testing purposes.

Mods/CC

I didn't have any game mods, but I did have some custom content. I removed the custom content but it did not correct the problem.

Expansion Packs/Game Packs/Stuff Packs

Christmas stuff, Outdoor, Get to Work, Spa Day

Occurring since

I took a break for a few months and there were several updates since the last time I played. However, it seems to have occurred after the Newcrest update.

Operating system

Windows 8.1 Pro
Processor; AMD FX-6100 Six Core Processor

Ram: 8 GB

System Type: 64-bit

Troubleshooting

Here's what I tried so far to fix the problem:

1. Uninstalled CC

2. Repaired game

3. Deleted localthumbcache.package

4. Disabled Origin in game

5. Copied all Sims 4 files to my desktop and created a new game for testing purposes

  • Is this happening if you're invited to a social event or if you initiate one or both ?

  • I have the same issue; it started 2-3 months ago; when I plan a social event, the tasks won't appear; not only social event, same problem occurs when I go to work i.e. detective. To see the tasks, I have to exit  the game and restart again.

    Please tell me how you managed to fix it.  This problem occurred in my game during the same play time that I had another (successful) dinner party.  All of a sudden it stopped working.
