I've seen this happen across three different new games now. Beatrice and Celeste Capp randomly quit the careers they already had (Beatrice is a journalist and Celeste is a musician at the start of every new game) and joined the Noble career.
In all three instances that I've experienced, they made the career change while I was playing on other households.
Hi BarMaster71
Do you have neighborhood stories enabled ?
crinrict Nope. Never have.
I thought I was alone. This is also happen to me. They will be the rank 1 at some point I don't know why. I don't turn Neighbourhood Story on at all. I sometimes turn on auto age (played households) On but mostly Only Active Household and never turn on for unplayed households. I played various lifespan including short, normal, and long. I do workaround by strictly playing normal lifespan and auto age for active household only for now.
This is similar issue where some teen in my game randomly age up to young adult even I turn auto age - unplayed household off which I am still experiencing this. (ref: Highschool graduation causing other teens to age up. | EA Forums - 2351625 )
vyanger353 It's nothing to do with auto-aging or lifespans. Auto-aging has always been completely turned off in my game.
It's also nothing to do with HSY aging up random teens. The reason that happens is because HSY graduation ceremonies are coded to have at least four graduating teens in attendance. So, if you only aged up one teen that week, the game will randomly select three teens from unplayed households to age up and have them graduate as well. It's just ill-considered game design. There’s ways to prevent it, but I'm not getting into that here as it's involved and has nothing to do with this issue.
Something else I just noticed. In addition to what I already reported, Beatrice also lost her role as Dynasty Heir somehow. Again, this was not my doing.
BarMaster71 Good to know. I just experienced that as well. They are unexpected since I set Neightbourhood Stories off and auto age unplayed off so I always expect their profiles and details to be remained unchanged since starting a new save.
Also culling. In my save, my playing reached to the point that Consort Capp was culled. He was disappeared from the dynasty and family tree completely. A bit upsetting so I had to recover my previous save file and mark favourite (move to my households).
