Product: The Sims MobilePlatform:Apple iPhoneList the specific devices you play with (e.g. iPhone 6s Plus, Samsung Galaxy S7) Iphone 8 plus OS Version 15.2.1How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Trying to start posh pastry classWhat do you expect to see? Event not startting or reacting in any way even though it is free to start (haven’t played it once yet) Connection Type WifiPlease select your region EuropeCountry Finland Can’t start the posh pastry class. It hasn’t been played even once yet and still the start button is not reacting at all. Closing the app doesn’t help.

Hi @blinga I have the same problem. And it seems there is a mix up between the short «course», because the class my sim finishes, is not the same as I started them doing. And one of them is alway impossible to start. Right now, the class in the laboratory is open to start, but the «start» button doesn’t work, and there is no icon for the challenge at the laboratory. Earlier today, it was the icon at the restaurant that was gone. As you can see from the pictures, my sim is totally ready to learn something new…I have tried what you suggest @Ilois4 , but it does not work.

@KatlaStorm Does leaving your sims idle and force closing your game bring back any pink check marks when you reopen your game?Unfortunately this current bug makes the sim look free from event even though somewhere in the game background they are in an event.

@KatlaStormExample of force closing and reopening the game from today:https://twitter.com/ilo1s4/status/1489612165476667396?s=21I put my sim doing the Flavor lab event and got notified that the completed it but the event I claimed just before this video was a work shift. The Flavor Lab button looks ok to start the event but it’s not responding, also my sim looks free but really he’s in the Flavor lab event and force closing and restarting the game shows him ending the Flavor lab event.

After I had finished the two courses/classes, I force quit the game again. Just to be on the safe side.

@blinga I now have two activities which can’t be started. Clearly, I’m not going to be able to complete this event.The same thing happened with the last event.This game has become a waste of time.

@blinga Try to leave your sims idle for a bit, close the game completely and restart.

If you played the previous showdown and it’s possible that you’ve made passive/retired a sim who was doing this event then, I’d suggest to check if you have passive/retired sims being stuck ‘busy’.

No, leaving the sim idle and force closing etc was not enough to solve the problem.
But I took your direction and did the following:
1) Making sure both of the 2 activities that had caused troubles were open to start (see picture)
2) Making sure to have one sim free to start a job (idle)
3) Turning off and on my iPad.
… And it worked - after restarting my iPad, everything worked fine in my game! 🥳
4) Then. After I had finished the two courses/classes, I force quit the game again. Just to be on the safe side.

I don't understand how the problems that have been going on for months continue. The game is full of unresolved bugs and it really bothers me. I'm getting sick of this game😒

Me too! Accidentally used 51 sim dollars to rush the event too. Not happy. Heaps of bugs and a waste of time and money when you purchase extra things.
