This problem I always noticed I have. The acting career my sim doesnt get paid and she passes the audition. Theres no option for me to join either. It's like a rabbit hole for valunteer work. Also the fam doesnt go up just the reputation. All other fam works but not the acting career which really sucks. It's kinda a waste of money if the acting career don't funtion right. I did take out all mods and CC and still didn't work,  I cleared out junk in the files and tried to repair my game twice. It didnt work. One thing I did that I found to try is move her out and back in and that worked but sadly the next audtion after that went staight back to the bug. Everytime I tried the acting career with my sims this happens. I never was able to use the acting career and I had this expansion pack since it came out. What else van I fo to fix this bug?

Hi @RichelleRae28 

there's an audition first that is rabbithole, if you pass that, you should be able to go to the action gig next. Do other active careers work as they should for you ? Do you have get to work ?

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

• Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
• Tray Folder
• Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
• Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
• Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
• Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Can someone help me? Since I got the sims 4 get famous I was never able to go to the gigs with my sims. Its fustrating that I bought this game but im not able to explore auditions or gigs with my sim. I took out all mods,  still didnt work and I tried to repair my game,  still didnt work. Idk what to do to fix it. Anyone know whats going on?

Also, my sims are not getting paid for their audtions/gigs. If this does not get fixed what a waste of $42!

Could you try if you can cancel the gig through your phone and get a new one ?

If that doesn't help, could you give some more details what happens ?

[RichelleRae28]

I'll try that. Havent used gigs over the phone. I'll let u know.

[RichelleRae28]

I tried it. Didn't work. She just goes on her own with no options for me to join. She goes there passes all her gigs and gets no money out of it. It's like a rabbit hole for a volunteer work. A waste of money. Thatd all the acting career always does for me.

Idk why it's black on the words. I'll retype (sigh) I had this problem since I got the game. No option to join gigs. They go to the gigs and it's a success but don't get a pay out. I've tried to remove all cc and mods didnt work, repair game twice didnt work, clean out files, didnt work. One thing I did that worked was move sims out and back in. But sadly the bug came right back for the next gig. I don't get to play with the acting career and it sucks. They get no fam from the gigs either. No money and no fam just reputation. This is only when it comes to the acting career. I had thus game since it came out.

Hi @RichelleRae28 

Did you try the latest suggestion I made in your other thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/No-option-to-go-to-gigs/m-p/7688099#M136794 ?

[RichelleRae28]

Yes, it didnt work. What worked one time is moving my sims out and back in but sadly it went back to the glitch for the next gig like my discription says. I tried other things to. Says i the discription.

[RichelleRae28]

Ok. Yes I didnt try this one yet. Ty I will try this one. But no it's always a rabbit hole with success and no money. But I will try this. I'll get back to let u know how it gose ty.
