I've tried the maker freelancer career since I recently got Eco Living, but the career doesn't work. I can get I assume all of the gigs, they all show up. I can do all of the interactions of talking to the client/making the product/sending it in/getting paid -- but on the career panel it says I haven't sent the work no matter what I do. I can keep recreating the product and sending it in to get paid over and over again but it's not actually finishing the gig. Apparently this was a patch fix last November? Well it's not working for me. I updated my game a few days ago when I got a different expansion back so I don't know what the issue is.

This is happening to me, too, in the free demo. Chat, make the rug, send to client, get accepted, get paid--but never checks off in the job, so I can't move on. Super frustrating, and at this point I am very much not inclined to purchase the Eco Lifestyle like I already planned. The freelancer career was one I really wanted to play.

Having the same issue. Everything has been updated to the newest patch. The only cc I have in game is the Kijiko eyelashes. I can select a gig, chat with client, send for approval, get paid but the task itself doesn’t complete in the panel. Just like the paranormal gig. Super frustrating. I stopped playing for over a month due to the bugs with the careers. Can’t progress in the freelance careers so you’re getting paid minimally.

If you send the craft from household inventor the game doesn’t recognize it, but if you drag the (ALL!) items from your household inventor in your world (screen1) and sent it there (screen2) it works.

Just avoid Rugs, you can’t select rugs in your world. I think the problem here is the game don’t recognize the step if you send direct from household inventor.

Summary: I drag all items, in this gig, all three lamps in my world and sell it there. If I only sell two there and the last from household inventor, it will not work. Works for beds too. Avoid rug-gigs or use the bug for simply make money. You can send rug for rug and get paid for ever rug. Tina is now rug seller. She makes good rugs.

@daikoyu Not sure if this will work for the career as rugs are the only option at this point for gigs.

I never took the rug out of my household inventory. I have tried canceling the gig and accepting the same one the next morning only for the bug to happen again.

Same issue. Freelance maker career in Eco Living. Do all the tasks, and receive a "well done" but gig does not complete.

[elfinpcc]

Just tried it today.  Same issue.  All she can make is rugs at this point, so I'll have to try the workaround later.

*Edit, as others have said, it works fine for things like candles, that are in a Sim's personal inventory.
