Hi @crinrict ! Thanks for ypour wonderful work all these years! Vielen Danken!

My sim got a degree in Communications so speed tracked the Civic Planner career, jumping straight to Civic Archivist. When they got the job, they didn't get any of the unlocked items, and none of those items are unlocked in the buy menu - most notable the Drafting Tablet

@yeahitsthatoscar Try using cheats.

Step 1: Ctrl/Command + Shift + Esc.
Step 2: Use bb.showhiddenobjects.
Step 3: Check if it appears.

Use +XP if it worked or you need further assistance.

I have this problem, too, except it’s locked. My Sim got a degree and has the Connections trait, so she started her career in level 8 of the Green Technician field. Dunno if that’s the problem, but I’m not sure why it would matter.

@zeldaria195 I merged your post with the bug report on that.

I don't know if I need to start a new thread for my issue. I don't have Univerisity. I made a sim in story mode. The sim had got the job from story mode.

The tablet Did spawn on loading my sim, however she does not own the tablet. Pic attached. She can use it to for her job, but only from her personal inventory. If the tablet is anywhere else, she can't use it. I can put it into her inventory at home. If she put it down in a public space or NPC home, she can't pick it up/ I can't put in inventory. Which also means that she can only work from home, since she never puts it back into her personal inventory when done. Defeats the purpose of having a tablet.

Workaround: i bought a drafting tablet for the pubpic library lot, there it is unlocked. Sims can use it when visiting the library

@sushicrow When on your home lot, try putting the tablet in the household inventory and then taking it out again. This usually works for things my sims find in dumpsters but they don't "own." When I take the object out again it is considered "owned."
