Active sim stuck in work shift/event

Product: The Sims Mobile
Platform:Android Tablet
List the specific devices you play with (e.g. iPhone 6s Plus, Samsung Galaxy S7) Samsung Galaxy Tab A
OS Version Android 11
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I was having a party thrown by this Sim, and put her in a work shift and left the game. When I returned, the game had dropped the work shift and she was idle at home, however the shift was actually still going on in the background, as when I took her back to her workplace, she couldn't start new shifts as the game thought she was still in one, without a timer to end it.
What do you expect to see? I expect to return to the game and she has completed her work shift.

My active Sim is not "busy", as she can engage in any events except ones at Parkside I want her to. Because the game thinks at some level she is still in a work shift at the cafe, though, she cannot start shifts at the cafe or the Eco Workshop.

As soon as it happened, I repeatedly tried the fix where you make your Sims idle and close the game from your device. I've tried this numerous times with no results.

I have also tried the fix where you have a relationship event at the workplace to try to get the shift to end, multiple times with no result.

I thought there was a thread for this problem already, but I couldn't find one.

Does anyone know if removing her and marrying her back in would solve the problem?

  • Hi @rrriot_kittymeow 

    maybe you meant this thread?

    Did you try the relationship event so that this sim started the event as well as other active sim starting the relationship event? 

    If you still have this issue in your game, @Ea_Sanah was requesting IDs to investigate more. Please see her instructions to contact about this issue.

  • I did the relationship event such that the stuck Sim did the relationship event. I didn't do it such that other Sims did the event. I sent Sanah a message. Thank you for linking me with the other thread
