Sim can’t work

[Makodidi]

it doesn't work for me with odd jobs as well- my sims can't go to these ones. quitting a regular job or canceling an odd job doesn't solve the problem.

I think I may have at least fixed my issue or a temporary one what I did 

1. Put the save file on a flash drive.
2. Delete the save file from the console.
3. Put the flash drive save back onto the console.
4. It should be fixed.

It was fixed for a moment but when he came back to work he was greyes out again so I didn’t save and reload the game and this time I went to work left early then the next day I went to work completely and my sim didn’t grey out. I’m not sure if this will do the trick 100% but it did for me.

I just had this problem with Johnny Zest. He is home, but it says he is at work and cannot get to inventory. He can do anything at home. The pop up that he had work in an hour came up and I waited to see if he would go to work -  he did not. I tried the 'leave early' option I tried traveling, I tried exiting and coming back in - the only thing that sort of worked was having him quit his job and retake the job, but he lost a level. He also still had that work  options thing on his portrait with the only option being 'go home' but it did not do anything. This triggered when he got one of those pop ups for get famous - it gave him the chance to get a promotion and gain some fame and that is the option I chose. Seems the only way I can fix him at this point if to go back to a previous save - sigh.

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have all except the Star Wars pack.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When my sim had the option to gain fame during her job as an internet personality or stay the same I chose fame. on her return from work her icon was grayed out.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim's icon is grayed out and i can't get to her inventory.
What do you expect to see? My sim's icon not grayed out when she isn't at work.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. the latest patch on 9/3/2020

‌

I've tried the fix in the thread and it doesn't work. I've moved her out of the lot to another one, I've used another household and invited her to another lot and nothing works. I've reset her, tried clicking the leave early and that doesn't work either. The only thing that does work is quitting the job but then i have the work hard thumbnail on her icon and that won't go away. This keeps my sim from returning to work for her next shift when her icon is grayed out even though her phone rings to choose work or PTO or work from home.

I know the threat says that this bug is fixed or was fixed with one of the older patches but that is now incorrect. As I am having this issue. I don't use mods or CC.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? My sim is in the social media career and there was a work event in which I got promoted to meme maker. My sim came home but the game thinks my sim is still at work. My sims portrait is basically stuck in work mode.
What happens when the bug occurs? I can't get the camera to follow my sim. When I click my sims portrait it does not find my sim. I restarted the game twice and it is still stuck like this. I also couldn't join a club gathering.
What do you expect to see? Regular sim portrait functions (go home button, auto focus on sim, camera follows sim)
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. I just updated my game this morning to the most recent patch update.

‌

My sim went to work as an internet personality, received a work event that gave me an auto promotion to meme maker. Then they came home but their portrait is still set as if they are at work. I have lost function of the regular portrait mode where you would have the go home button, the camera doesn't center on my sim when I click it and I also can't make the camera follow my sim. The game thinks they are still at work. I tried restarting twice and the problem is still there. Clicking leave early does not make anything happen either. I also don't have access to my inventory or the aspiration rewards store.

[SeleneRoseMoon]

I just waited to see what happens when my sim is supposed to go to work and she just isn't going.

[SeleneRoseMoon]

I quit my job and rejoined. That fixed the issue but I went down a rank. I just had the same event pop up and the glitch occurred again. The specific event asks you to roll for a number to have a popular streamer show off your channel and gives you fame and a promotion.

[valammarr]

^^ This just happened to my sim as well, stuck at work after getting the special event promotion to Meme Maker in the Internet Personality career.
