Hello.
There was a patch released today that may have fixed this. Version 1.54.120. Is anyone still seeing this after updating?

When this happened in my game, the final assignment that would normally have caused the excellent performance checkmark didn't complete/clear until the timer ran out - all the objectives were marked as complete, but no finalization. And even re-doing the objectives didn't help.
Once the time ran out, the performance meter was set back to Average. There is no way to max out Freelancing at the moment.

Do you guys get any last exceptions ? I think it's the same issue as this one: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-A-Sims-icon-still-at-work-after-promotion-after/m-...
Please attach them to your post if you get any. Either create a .rar file and upload or c/p the exception in spoiler tags. Thanks
Good Luck

Maybe it's just the lack of caffeine talking here, but I'm not sure what "last exceptions" are - so not sure if I'm getting them. I read the linked thread, still not clear. I'm not greyed out or anything. And the game plays normally during the "stuck job" time otherwise, and plays on normally once the stuck job completes and resets the career (until it's time for final promotion and then it happens again).
I'm not getting it on a different career on a different Sim. I just got my level 10 promotion on a new Sim on the Military career path.
I can go back and see if I can get more information by playing the Freelancer again. Is there specific information that would be helpful? I didn't notice anything special other than the "all task boxes checked, but job doesn't complete until time is up" followed by "reset performance meter".

Just had a new Sim work up the Freelance Artist career. Slightly different variation of the problem this time - the job tasks finished (Gig: Kick-started Catastrophe), the job itself did not auto-complete, and the performance meter reset to average immediately (instead of when job finished via timer).
Sim was paid when the timer ran out, and got a performance boost to his newly-average score.
A single lastException.txt file was generated when the bug initially manifested.

Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.53.115.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansion packs are installed [Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Famous, Get to Work, Get Together, Island Living and Seasons] along with the free Holiday Celebration Pack
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Occurs following payment upon completion of all tasks in a gig for the Freelance Artist career
What happens when the bug occurs? Gig tasks are complete and payment is received; however, the gig remains in the sims career panel preventing acceptance of new gigs and will not clear unless the gig is cancelled resulting in a lose of career performance
What do you expect to see? Typically the gig clears from the career panel and a new gig is able to be accepted without having to lose any career performance
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
