Teenager not getting promoted in retail career

I have a male teenager that I gave the Connections trait and then joined the retail career track. He started at level 2 of the track and went to work for a few days using the "Work hard" option. When I saw that he had the green checkmark indicating promotion, I changed it back to "Work normal", and he was in a Happy mood. When he got home, he was still happy, but he didn't get a promotion! So the next day, I made him "Work hard" for the entire shift. When it was almost time to come home, I looked for the green checkmark again. Sure enough, it was there, but when he came home, the checkmark disappeared, and his work performance bumped down a few pixels.

He was very jealous of his aunt, who came home at the same time with a promotion in the Comedy career track. (Just kidding, he was still Happy.)

  • If tested this and have no issues with leveling up in the career.

    Would you be willing to share your save ?

  • Wonder if it has something to do with the connection trait.

    Unsure if teen careers have extra skills they need to fulfill. 

    have you tried cheating them down one level in the career and see if they get promoted then ?

    Crin,

    Charisma level 2 is required, and he has it. I think it was checked. I didn't try any cheats on this character.

    I have another teen that I started at level 2 Manual Labor with the Connections trait, so I will try to see if the same thing happens to her.

    Maybe give them another career to see if it's limited to retail

    My child has a while to age into a teen but I will try then

    My other teen that has the connections trait and is in Manual Labor also doesn't get promoted when meeting all requirements.

    Sorry, I haven't played in a while. I was having issues on the Easter 2016 update, but I wanted to try it again with the latest update. I had no trouble with the next patch. It seems to work now.
