Hello, 

So I just installed the new Sims 4 Dream Home Decorator Pack and I can't complete any gig since the sims (living on the lot where the gig is) leaves when my sim knocks on the door. And the gig can't be completed. If I cancel the gig the sims living on the lot return immediately. 

 

Please help!

@annabaanan To be sure: You waited until the actual time of the gig and not just travel there ?

That goes to everyone really.

This is how it should work

1- You accept a gig.
2. The gig usually starts at 9 AM the next day.
3. An hour before you get a popup stating that your gig will start in an hour
4. At time of the gig you are automatically taken to the house if you choose to do so, you can also send them alone.
5. Knock on the door.
6. Folks should be in

I played quite a few gigs and never had an issue so just wanting to make sure it's not that

Also, please keep bug reports on topic. If you have other issues, make your own thread (test without mods beforehand).

 

Please use this thread if you don't get a pop-up: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Sim-gets-no-option-to-go-to-dream-decorator-job/td-p/10394468

well this is super disappointing. I just installed everything so I am ready to play and this is a massive issue that makes the game unplayable.

I'm having a somewhat related issue. Whenever my sim goes to the gig lot, it says "no one lives here."

@annabaananNot sure if this could fix this but maybe you could try resetting the sims living on the lot with the resetsim-cheat. For example if the sim is names Mortimer Goth, you type Resetsim Mortimer Goth in the cheat console.


I had a different issue where , whenever my decorator sim traveled to the lot he'd be working on, he left and there appeared a bubble that said "at work", when I cancelled it, the gig was over. I seem to have fixed it with the resetsim-cheat, tho.


Still, it is annoying and frankly pretty unacceptable imho. How is this game so buggy to a point it is unplayable on release day? Doesn't Maxis playtest anything at all? You'd think a billion dollar company would know how to code, sheesh...

Ugh same. I was wondering why the client section was blank. Reading your post made me realize that the clients leave when my sim arrives at the gig, inhibiting the ability to learn client likes and dislikes. 

 

Super disappointing.

I also have a blank client section but the sims are in their house so I don’t know what’s going on Frown I ask each one of them for their preferences but I don’t get any so I can’t make the renovation based on their likes and dislikes, it’s so frustrating!!!

I have a similar problem. When I arrived the customer's house, there are no people in the house so I can not understand their favorite likes or hobbies. We also can understand the preferences of customers by investigating items in the house with the game tips, but it did not provide "survey" of items interactive instructions. Is this another text error?
