Freelancer: Chat with client option not appearing [ Edited ]

[Mootee420]

My sim is not a vampire sim, but I am still unable to chat with client (freelance writer) as the option is nowhere to be found by clicking on either the computer or my sim. So I can confirm this is not limited to vampires.

That's not the same issue though. There's others that said they had troubles finding the option but I think that was either a mod or a misunderstanding.

I still haven't tried myself so unsure how it's working but are you using mods ?

[Mootee420]

I'm sorry, I thought it fell into the same category. No mods. I haven't tried to do the other freelance branches (artist and programmer), so I can't speak for those, only for the freelance writer.

Hi @Mootee420 

Since I haven't played the career, I don't feel qualified to help you with this so I split your post to the tech forum.

Someone else should be able to assist you further.

Please notice that not all Gigs involves chatting with the client. If it does Click on the Computer choose Freelance then Chat with Client.

You can see if you are supposed to chat with the Client by clicking on the Work tab. All required tasks for the current Gig are listed there.

Correct. However, there is no "Freelance" option on the computer. I've gone through all of the options, and nothing about freelance or chatting with the client is there. And yes, I began looking after being prompted to chat with the client as part of completing the job. However, as there is no option appearing for me to do so (I've also tried clicking on my sim and looking through the cell phone), I'm unable to complete the gig and have to cancel it.

If the Freelancer menu isn't on the Computer and since you say you have no Mods/CC then try doing a factory reset as described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

@Mootee420 I had the same issue, but I then used the freelancer laptop and the freelance option came up! Hope that helps
