No freelancer option on PC

[harrietroseodell]

Hello,

There is no “freelancer” option on my sims computer for them to “chat to client”. I noticed some others had this issue caused by the UI extension mod, but I do not use that. I do have a few mods and CC though. Does anyone know why else this could be happening? 

Thanks

Hello! 

I removed all mods and it worked, have been narrowing them down all afternoon and can confirm it was LittleMsSams “Personal Objects” mod that was causing the issue.

With this mod removed the “Freelancer” category is now available on the sims computer.

Thanks,

Harriet

Hi @harrietroseodell

Could you try if it shows up with no mods/cc at all. There could be others that are conflicting.

I think LMS has updated all her mods already. So you can just go check if she has a newer version.

It was the update version causing problems,

I spoke to LMS and she said she was having issues with sim file share and the updated mods. 

Just something to be aware of if you are downloading the updated version from there.

I'm using her updated mod. Some mod I still haven't narrowed down, could have been UI CHEATS though as 4 times I went through my over 40gb mods folder where my cc is merged but upgrades to my laptop have started having tons of folders for specifics of a mod script file and whatnot. I deleted a ton that may of been fine, however the chat UI showed up 4 times after removing the old version and the new one 4 times. So I was never looking for that mod. Til I'm like hmmm.. Or I see the mod. I got stuff working  My freelance programming soon to be a druggie Sim has no career. I click her phone, says I'm a freelancer. Before no option showed up either. Now I have that updated mod and I can't even SEE THE JOB IN THE CAREER BOOK. BYE BISH MOD. I was looking forward to that mod.

UI Cheats is known to cause problems with Freelancer if it isn't updated. An update is available.

Ya, I uh, found out the difference in UI changes on different games soon after this post. I play World of Warcraft and have played almost half my life, Sims i played before i hit 10 yrs. So in World of Warcraft we have addons and there are UI ones and getting more than one is a bad time. Im used to the obvious "It's a UI problem" than the game pretty much crumbling in front of me until it refuses to run. Learn something new everyday lol oops.
