It’s only the computer method that doesn’t work, I can send it off for approval via the inventory. Not a game breaking bug but still odd…

Still encountering this problem -- chat with client, make items, successfully send items to client via computer but "Send your finished work to the client" does not increment or complete for Fabricaton-type "SIMply Crafted" gigs where the item(s) requested are furniture that go to the buy/build family inventory rather than the sim's personal inventory. So far I have not had this issue with candles, which I can send from my sim's inventory. I did click "me too" on OP, but wanted to add my voice to the pile of people expressing dissatisfaction that this is still an issue over a year later.
I only have a work-around for candles and fizzy drinks,as they're stowed in the Sims' personal inventory. If it's for something like a lamp or rug that doesn't fit in the sim-level inventory, the computer doesn't work for it. It doesn't appear to work for the mailbox either.
I'm only taking fizzy gigs and candle gigs which sucks because the furniture ones clearly earn more advancement and money.

Same here, chance of payment is 50:50. Sending items and fizz via computer often doesn't work.

I’m on PS5, & I’ll attach photos to show what I mean but I was given the 3 tasks: to call client, make 3 rectangle candles, & then submit for approval. The first two tasks checked off under the gig tab, and I made all the candles, submitted each one, but it’s still showing I have to submit 3 candles under the gig tab. It still says 0/3 even though I got the notification showing they were happy with it. I got 3 notifications for each candle I submitted (see photo) but it’s still not completed and if I cancel the gig, it’ll affect performance: this is the second time this has happened.
I have all packs, kits etc.
no mods as I’m on console
version: gp12.15
