How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don’t know. I’m watching to see if it changes as I keep playing.
What do you expect to see? Progress and no data loss.

Additional feedback I think it’s all related to the fact that it just will not save properly. And your connection is poor. Mine is superb. I have the fastest wifi I can get and I’m 10feer from the router. My iPad is only a year old.
My sim who works at the business office is on Level 9. It says she’s at 87%. It isn’t moving as I play. I got the last oftice item from the career unlocked but she hasn’t moved in progress since then, and I can’t afford the ridiculous 75$ to buy the last item. But my other sims have competed all 10 levels of their Cooking, Medical, and Fashion careers. Also, it keeps giving me a Please Update pop up. I did update. And I am one of the people having the horrendous save data/data loss issues. I only play on one device. I am connected to Facebook and Gamecenter.
Edit/addition: After playing one regular and one short shift, I noticed that her bar goes back to 305 every time I press the pink check mark. It never keeps the work shift xp; it is at 305 every time. But that bar flashes past so fast. Why can’t we see a detailed total of the career level progress bars? And also detailed progress bars for the game and home value levels. Plus, when you do a shift at work or hobbies, if your shift is worth more than the amount needed to complete a level, it should carry over into the next level like every other game. After testing this for a year before a global-ish release, these things, and especially the rampant data/progress losses, are MASSIVE issues. Now please fix the career progress bar—while you’re getting the data loss addressed. Thank you.

As of late last night, probably around midnight PDT, I noticed the Update pop-up had not popped up in three consecutive playing sessions! So I tried a short shift in the Business career, and it seemed that everything was retained, so I exited, reentered, and did another short shift. All of it was retained. The game still randomly disconnects in the background, and I’m constantly checking my Party chat feeds (if they fail to load, the game has lost connection to your server), and that means frequently playing for a few minutes, exiting, and going back in to play or check to see if it lost the connection at some point and failed to retain played data before taking a break, but it’s a massive improvement. I may be brave enough once again to buy more IAP currency now and use cupcakes again without fear of losing them, and therefore, losing real money.
Many thanks.
