I had two sims - both in the culinary career have the yellow check for promotion. When they came home, one dialog box popped up for promotion, and the other did not.

@LauraKl10 Did you try playing on to see if they get promoted a few days later ?

Does your Sim live in an apartement ?

Could you also please:
- List either the packs you have or the ones you don't have (whatever is shorter). Often bugs need to be checked on the exact packs you have.
- Enter your game version. Most recent doesn't help cause it's outdated with the next patch

I assume the error is that two were getting promoted at the same time and it only popped up one box. Usually it does two back to back, but it did the first and then stopped. 

No, they don’t live in an apt. 

Not sure what packs I don’t have, but I doubt they play a role. If I were to guess, it’s something to do with two needing promotions at once. I doubt it’s particular to a certain pack. 

Most recent as of 5/8/21. Not sure the number

@LauraKl10 Follow the link above to find your version number.

Do they get promoted the next day then ?

[crinrict]

@LauraKl10 Have both been promoted now ? Are you still having issues with this ?

[LauraKl10]

@crinrict yes - still having issues. Sims are not getting promoted. If they come home from work and there are two that need to be promoted at the same time, only one gets promoted. The other one has to wait until the next day ... :/

I had the same thing happen, however I travelled with the household to another lot right afterwards and the second sim got the pop up for the promotion. Another time I had it happen I happened to save and quit shortly afterwards and when I went into the save the next time I got the pop up for the promotion. Though I mainly notice it when my sims are being prompted to join a branch of a career. 

Best regards,

There are ways to avoid this, like sending one of the sims home earlier than the other(s), or in case they all work from home, loading a previous state of the save file and actually sending one of them to work so that sim can get the promotion without conflict, but since this issue is not that common (even tho I faced it twice by now) it's often too late before I realise it's gonna happen, so I have to play through the day(s) all over again, which is annoying.

EDIT (Nov 16th/21): I had this happen again recently with two sims that were working from home, too much effort going back, so I just used cheats. Not ideal, but it works~
