I have tried the proposed workaround og removing and reinstalling the game, and also stopping the game (using app switcher) when all Sims are idle.

Several times this month and more than ever this week my eco shop is not updating the materials . This is so frustrating! Wasting sim cash when normally I do enough shifts to earn materials!!!

@luvhuskiesThere are multiple threads about this issue:
- https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Eco-workshop-schedule/m-p/10986895/highlight/true#M20669
- https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Eco-workshop-stuck-on-a-day-of-the-week/m-p/10909489/highlight...

Easy workaround: make sims idle and restart the game. Hopefully the sim who did the event last will pop up with a checkmark.

If that doesn't help, check if any of your passive sims couldn't be brought to be active. If so, I believe that sim was the last one doing that shift on the day workshop is stuck. Unfortunately, the only way I know to resolve the issue is to delete that sim.

Re: Eco Workshop not working

I cannot get the task button to appear to allow my sims to work the eco shop. My last char to work there was at his work when I clicked on him to complete the eco shop. Don't know what is going on there, but now he will not interact with his wife or family members. Nothing I do allows any of them to react with him. 

 

None of the players can do the eco shop due to no task button.

OS Version ?
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? my sims each levelled up in their careers and suddenly the long event option is no longer available for either of them. this issue is not present for relationships or hobbies. i'm on the last stage of the photography questline, which requires 6 long events in a career.
What do you expect to see? A long event option for at least one of my sim's careers.

I've seen people have this problem before back in 2018 but presumably that was fixed?

Try seeing if a hard restart works? It happens all the time to one of mine.

Same here. I have an iPhone 13 and it stopped working today. I even retired all 3 of my sims to create new ones (since I had also been having issues with my sims getting”stuck” in events) and still can’t enter the workshop shift.

My eco workshop shifts are stuck on Saturday. This has been going on for almost a month now. I cannot craft anything because it's stuck.
