What do you expect to see? Basic acting gig pre-performance tasks should be available for all sims. Regardless of fame status.
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

I understand that pre-performance tasks like compliment sim, and tell funny story shouldn't be available with more-famous sims until your sim becomes friendly with them, but those options are already available with the director, producers, and background actors.

However, specific interactions with co-stars like "Rehearse Scene with Co-Star" should be available for ALL sims, regardless of fame status.

(Been meaning to report this for a while)

@Psychotps Haven't really played through the career in a while so to be sure, this is for tasks during the gig itself, not pre-tasks, right ?

[Psychotps]

@crinrict

Correct. Pre-performance tasks, not gig prep tasks.

Interactions for specific sims like Co-stars won't work if the destination sim is more famous and not yet "friendly".

I'll test the Director interactions like "Get Notes from Director" and "Tell director ready to perform" when I get a minute. If the latter doesn't work, then it's a career-breaking bug.

@Psychotps Do you know if it was always that way ? I can't remember having an issue with those when my actor first started out.

@crinrict
Don't remember how long it's been an issue but it's been quite a while. Could have been always.

I tried it with a director. If the director is more famous and you're not friendly yet, you can't continue the gig. The option "Tell director ready to perform" won't even show up. This means you can't continue the gig until you become "friendly", which isn't always possible. This breaks the acting career in those cases.

I only have one costar and they are more famous. I am not able to rehearse scene with them. I have tried everything. On console.

Yeah, I ran into this problem again today. There are only three things you can do:

1. Work on building friendship with the co-star. (likely won't be able to finish before gig time runs out) This WILL help for future gigs as co-stars usually remain for all gigs.

2. Skip that interaction. If you do everything else, and met all the other requirements, you'll still very likely get gold. Those small interactions only give you a little bit of job performance.

3. Cheat your relationship up with the sim. UI Cheats will do this. Just make it like 50,0 and then do another interaction and everything will unlock.

One thing to remember, some gigs have multiple co-stars. If you can't do the interaction on one, and have another, try it on the other one.
