[FIXED] Unable to Progress in new tutorial due to greyed out selections

[ Edited ]
★ Apprentice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.47.49.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Seasons, Pets, City Living, Get Together, Get to Work, Jungle Adventure, Parenthood, Vampires, Dine Out, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat, Laundry Day Stuff, Vintage Glamour Stuff, Backyard Stuff, Romantic Garden Stuff, Spooky Stuff, Perfect Patio Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start a new game with tutorial mode, get to part after you get your first promotion when it says "You now have Free Play time until you complete all of your Sim's Aspiration goals. Check your progress in the Aspirations panel. And remember to take care of their needs, but most importantly...have fun!"
What happens when the bug occurs? I am trying to complete the aspirations but the tutorial will not allow it. The phone icon is greyed out and when I hover over it it says "Disabled by tutorial". Without it I can't take a vacation day or travel to a community venue which I need to do for the aspiration. And when I try to go fishing by clicking on the fishing post the option is also greyed out and hovering over it all it says it "Disabled by tutorial". I can't do anything to complete my aspirations and progress now.
What do you expect to see? Being able to complete my aspirations by taking a vacation day, travelling to a community lot, and fishing for 1 hour. Am I supposed to do something else? Please help!
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. November 13 2018. The new tutorial.

The Tutorial will no longer lock if your Sim is promoted before you are given the "You Need to Gain Skill to be Promoted" task.


Fixed in Patch 1.62.67

I have now tried all four tutorial aspirations and ran into the same problem with all four. I get to the last milestone of the aspiration but can't complete it because the phone, travel, and fishing are all still locked.

Everything originally disabled by the tutorial never unlocks for me so I have to wait for her to do them by herself unless I make an elder who dies of old age after leaving CAS. Finishing the tutorial doesn’t unlock them either.

Actually I think the phone stuff works for me. Was that supposed to be locked by the tutorial at first? Because I could use it right away.

Also when I start a new game clicking on the option to skip the tutorial does nothing so I’m forced to do the tutorial when starting a new game.

Have you tried disabling tutorial in the game options?
