Steps to Finding the Bug:
I reported this bug previously. It was solved before but it looks to be back now. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/FIXED-GTW-Career-goal-for-Make-a-Sim-Panic-appearing-on-wrong/...
@SimGuruNick I checked the code and it looks like all instances except for one of the panic work task don't have the necessary tuning in place to prevent the task from showing up at any level besides level 9. The bold is the missing code added to the tuning file. The files should read:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <I c="SituationGoalRanInteractionOnTargetedSim" i="situation_goal" m="situations.situation_goal_targeted_sim" n="situationGoalInteractionSim_Career_Scientist_MindControl_Panic_3_chained" s="113370"> <T n="_cooldown">240</T> <V n="_display_data" t="enabled"> <U n="enabled"> <V n="instance_display_icon" t="enabled"> <T p="InEP01\UI\Icons\Events\EventGoal_SimRay.png" n="enabled">2f7d0004:00000000:6c88e65af065393a</T> </V> <V n="instance_display_name" t="enabled"> <T n="enabled">0x76416B0D<!--String: "Mind control a Sim to panic"--></T> </V> <V n="instance_display_tooltip" t="enabled"> <T n="enabled">0xA863C8BE<!--String: "While carrying a SimRay, select another sim and Panic."--></T> </V> </U> </V> <U n="_goal_test"> <L n="affordances"> <T>115380<!--SocialSuperInteraction: scientist_MindControl_Panic--></T> </L> <E n="test_event">InteractionComplete</E> </U> <T n="_iterations">3</T> <L n="_pre_tests"> <V t="statistic"> <U n="statistic"> <T n="stat">113339<!--Statistic: statistic_Career_Scientist_UpgradeMindControlPanic--></T> <V n="threshold" t="value_threshold"> <U n="value_threshold"> <E n="comparison">EQUAL</E> <T n="value">1</T> </U> </V> </U> </V> <V t="career"> <U n="career"> <V n="test_type" t="career_reference"> <U n="career_reference"> <V n="career" t="specific_career"> <T n="specific_career">107255<!--Career: career_Adult_Active_Scientist--></T> </V> <V n="user_level" t="enabled" /> <U n="enabled"> <T n="lower_bound">9</T> </U> </U> </V> </U> </V> </L> <T n="_score">20</T> <T n="_select_sims_outside_of_situation">True</T> <L n="_target_tests" /> <T p="InGame\Audio\Bumper\bumper_event_goal_complete.propx" n="audio_sting_on_complete">39b2aa4a:00000000:ed52c39bcc2a7111</T> <L n="role_tags"> <E>Role_Scientist</E> </L> </I>
I haven't tested in my game but I believe this to be the reason why the option may be appearing at level 8 of the career.
