@THEalpaca26 See this for a temp solution: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-GF-Acting-Career-Sim-not-getting-gig-pop-up/td-p/8...
After lots of testing this afternoon and confirmation from others, the following workaround should work in all cases
For anyone where these steps don't work, please make sure you remove all your mods and test on a vanilla game to make sure it's not a mod issue.
So far, I've duplicated it for the following actions:
These didn't trigger it for me
For those that are still having issues: Which gig are you choosing ? Does that matter ?

I want to talk about something you don't mention above: Since the update on April 8,2020 I can’t play go to work the actor
How accessible is the current experience? I can use parts of it
Summarize what in the product is difficult to use. Since the new update on Wednesday I can’t play go to work being a actor but before The update I could but now I can’t. I can go on auditions but when it’s time for me to actually play at work as a actor it won’t let me. It’s not even an option to go. It says the second part of the audition tune starts at 12pm & then the times comes & it isn’t even a option to go
How is this making it more difficult? I can’t play go to work
How can we reproduce this experience? Fix it so I can play go to work as a actor
Can’t play

What is your current game version number? GP08: 1.asset.live-hp08.49
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expect for the following - spooky stuff - romantic gardens - tiny living - luxury
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Prompt an actress to go to work more than once
What happens when the bug occurs? My actress will be able to go to auditions every time and the first time I will be prompt to go to work or stay home but after that I do not get any prompt I just get the time counting down till “0 minutes” and that’s where it will stay until I cancel the gig. I haven’t downloaded anything special and I only use the cheats “motherlode” and “move objects” I have tried to not use these and will still get this issue. Also I have seen the other article saying not to travel but I haven’t travelled at all my sim was at home the whole day. The ea help system is super frustrating! I had to speak to 3 different people and had to re explain the issue all 3 times and then was transferred on the 4th to be told they can’t help me and I will have to explain yet again on this site.. they should be able to help no matter the issue or pass you on to the team that deals with these bugs/issues.
What do you expect to see? The actress to be prompted every time.

my sim is level two of the actor career and for some to most of the gigs have a bug where once my sim has passed the audition. I get them to meet the requirement and the day where they have to do the gig the notification where it says an hour until work starts. It does not appear for my sim but the timer in the job panel still happens and I don't get the pop up where I can join my sim to their acting job or them send by themselves. Also the timer says zero minutes and hours go by but they don't go to work.
