[ECO] [DHD] Sims Getting Reminders to Do Gigs for careers their not in

My sim is currently in the freelancer career as a painter and she keeps getting calls from an acting agency to say she need to take gigs. My sim has never been an actor.  I have no mods nor cc installed

    There's a thread here that's a bit different as it's usually freelancer gig that spawn: Non Freelance Sims Getting Reminders to Do Gigs but maybe it's related.

    Do you have any other Sims in the household in the actor career ? Did you create the Sim yourself or download from the gallery ?

    Going to assume it's the same issue.

  • The dream home decorator gig pop up keeps popping up for my sim, including the animals, but that's not my sims job, she's a doctor. but it pops up and i cant select any of the gigs because she doesn't meet the requirements. 

  • Hi there! Jumping in with more information since this is happening to me and I haven't seen people talking about it! My sims are receiving pop ups every day for reminders about gigs! I only started encountering this after the burglar update in February. 

    Product
    : The Sims 4
    Platform: PC
    Which language are you playing the game in? English
    How often does the bug occur? Every in-game day at 4:50am
    What is your current game version number? 1.113.297.1020 DX11
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions minus lovestruck. all game packs minus wedding stories, spa day, and star wars. all stuff packs minus bowling, fitness, movie hangout, perfect patio, moshchino, digital deluxe. then i have around half of kits. 
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unsure, I first encountered it when I started a new household of 1 sim (unemployed and not from gallery) in Strangerville, it wasn't happening immediately but it started very early in the save but I am unsure of when it first started triggering. 
    What happens when the bug occurs? Pop up appears for freelancer agency reminding about gigs, if i click ok it brings up a menu presenting eco gigs. this occurs for all sims in the household, including the now employed adult and baby/infant. 
    What do you expect to see? I expect to not receive these calls as non of my sims are in that career
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, but bug still occurs without mods installed.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Either patch 176 or 177

  • Every since getting the Hobbies and Business Expansionpack, my Sims keep getting the notification from a freelancer job, that there are "many gigs available". And when I click on ok, it leads me too choose gigs from a different freelancer branch each time, even though my Sims are not Freelancers.

    The notification pops up always two times. 

    It doesn't matter if my Sim has no job, has a full-time job, or runs a buisness. When play with one Sim, the notification is for this sim twice. When I play with multiple, the game chooses two Sims from the household, not matter the job they have. Sometimes I even got the notification for a toddler when I was only playing with an adult and a toddler Sim. Even my dog has gotten a notification one time. 

    It's not a worldchanging bug, as I can just click two times and it's gone for the next two Sim-days or so, but it's still annoying and interfering with my Gameplay.

    This is happening to me too on version 1.114X but the gigs that popup are for Dream Home Deco. It's really annoying because it's even popping up for the toddler in the family, cause yeah... that makes sense.

  • This bug is so invasive my infants are getting calls about gigs... Every member of the family is getting these calls every night. Please fix soon

    So dogs, cats, infants and of course adult Sims get the DHD gig call. When is this going to be solved, it is very annoying! I have no Sims playing in freelance career. This bug is old but marked with ''needs info''?

    I keep getting notifications about each of my sims and their pets for an interior decorator career when they are not in that career. This has happened for several months now and it's extremely agitating considering the amount of money and time I've spent on this game....
