‌

I got the expansion just two days ago so it’s new to me and my game is recently patched before I installed and I even checked afterwards. I looked all over online and it says it’s supposed to appear under Web but it’s not anywhere in there. But when I go to the library in Britechester I can find it under Web there (see pic). Is this how it’s supposed to be? Cuz if so that seems a bit off to me, why wouldn’t a sim living at home be able to study at their own home? I couldn’t get a picture of when it went missing cuz when she went back home it was mysteriously back on her computer. It seems like it’s buggy according to other people on other sites I visit.

Can anyone possibly share a save file where this issue has been encountered? It sounds like the issue fixes itself on a load, so we probably wouldn't be able to reproduce directly from the save, but it'd still be helpful for investigating. You can DM me a link to the save. Thanks for the help!

@SweetVeggieAmai Do you see any pattern when it disappears ? Did you try several computers ? Laptops or normal ones ?

Could you please enter your game version ?

Here's instructions: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2018/07/how-to-find-your-game-version-number/

Tried mostly laptops. The new one that came with uni and the cheap one that came with Strangerville. I left the lot to go to the library and then I saw it come up on the ones there (which is the cheap desktop one). And then I came back to the house and the option was back. It might just be randomly happening but I will check to see if it correlates to anything.

I am having the same issue. I am wondering if it is because I have too many skills already (unlocking too many other options).

Additionally, I have Sim Scuffle research available though I am not on the e-sports team.

Edited: @amaixyasai Quick update. You can Discuss Soccer Strategies in the Friendly options of a teammate. You can invite them to hang out from the Work tab of the Relationships UI.

@SweetVeggieAmai got the same issue, have U try e-sport team beffore soccer team ?

[crinrict]

@OogarHeroics Probably best if you made a new thread for that Sim Scuffle issue.

[Haka1978]

@crinrict I think @OogarHeroics say that because Sim Scuffle maybe "over write" the "Study soccer strategy on the computer. I may have found a solution, leave the job and go back to it right after, seem work on my game.

[SweetVeggieAmai]

@Haka1978 I never joined the esports team. But oddly enough that option is there for any sim of mine despite them not being on any team.

[Haka1978]

@SweetVeggieAmai Have U try to leave and rejoin the soccer team ?

[crinrict]

@SweetVeggieAmai @Haka1978 Could either of you please make a separate thread for the scuffle ?

Even if they are related it's best to have separate threads.
