Sudden Career Jump

Happened to me as well. Before the update my sims were having issues getting promoted. They would go to work happy or focused, work hard, have all attributes met, have their daily task completed, have the yellow checkmark, and come home with no change. I force promoted a couple sims using testingcheats, now I have the opposite problem - all sims in my HH go to work, even if they haven't reached max performance, they will come home 4+ promotion jumps ahead. It only does that if they have completed all "tasks" for their promotion (ex: skill requirements). 

I commented in the raises not promotions thread as well, but I was in the stylist career and jumped from level 2 to level 6!

I had a sim start a career and jump from level 5 to level 9 in one shift, but now cannot advance to level 10. The sim should have advanced to level 10, but instead got a raise for good performance and is now at level 9 +2.

I think it's related, but my flower arranger sim gets promoted everyday and now it says +24 behind the carreer name. This means that she gets a 1500s bonus as well.

I had a sim get to level 9 of the chef career and then got up to +8 with raises but would not get a promotion to 10. I even cheated her performance to be +100 to MAKE SURE she got a promotion and she again just got a raise and not promoted. Haven’t had the skip levels (to my knowledge I have several sims in the household) 

This happened to me too - had my sims start in the grim reaper career and after one shift, jumped from level 1 to level 7 and got all the promotional money from every promotion in between.

My sim got to level 9 after one shift, I assumed it's because she has connections and entrepreneurial because I've never really played with a sim with both but tbh that feels way too op to be how it plays so I wouldn't be surprised if it's this bug 

Hello all,

If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions can be found here: http://x.ea.com/74420

Thanks!

Civil designer: One sim got promoted from level 4 to 9 in the civic planner branch another in the green technician branch went from level 4 to 8. None of them gets promoted after that, only raises.

Writer journalist: Promotion one day after choosing branch to level 10. 

Edit: I noticed that all 3 of them have the entrepenurial reward and it didn't happen to 2 others without it. Might be related.

My Sim is currently in the actor career at level 5. After the latest update, when she goes to work instead of being promoted to level 6 she is promoted to level 9 or 10 (though the pay stays the same).
