Social Event Tasks Won't Appear

Issue


When I have a party or send a sim on a date, the tasks needed to complete the social event successfully won't appear. The modal won't pop out of the side of the screen. I only have the option to end the event. 

 

Without access to the event tasks, the event ultimately ends in failure, resulting in a plague of bad dates and disappointing birthday parties.

 

I think this user also had the same issue (but it's in spanish) http://answers.ea.com/t5/Los-Sims-4/Barra-de-objetivos-en-eventos-sociales-esta-oculta/m-p/4970238#M...

 

While their issue seems to have been resolved, nothing I try has worked. 

 

This thread also deals with it but there's no solution: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/840392/social-event-tasks 

 

 

Steps you took for Issue to occur

 

 

Moving into a new house, the neighbors greeting social event didn't work.

 

When I'm invited on a date.

 

I went to a birthday party. 

 

 

Where does the bug occur ?

 

This happens across multiple households and lots and even multiple games. 

 

I noticed the issue about 2 weeks ago, sometime after the update with Newcrest.

 

The bug was still there when I started a new game for testing purposes.

 

Mods/CC

 

I didn't have any game mods, but I did have some custom content. I removed the custom content but it did not correct the problem.

 

Expansion Packs/Game Packs/Stuff Packs

 

Christmas stuff, Outdoor, Get to Work, Spa Day

 

Occurring since

 

I took a break for a few months and there were several updates since the last time I played. However, it seems to have occurred after the Newcrest update.

 

Operating system

 

Windows 8.1 Pro
Processor; AMD FX-6100 Six Core Processor

Ram: 8 GB

System Type: 64-bit

 

 

Troubleshooting

 

Here's what I tried so far to fix the problem:

 

1. Uninstalled CC

2. Repaired game

3. Deleted localthumbcache.package

4. Disabled Origin in game

5. Copied all Sims 4 files to my desktop and created a new game for testing purposes

Is this happening if you're invited to a social event or if you initiate one or both ?

I have the same issue; it started 2-3 months ago; when I plan a social event, the tasks won't appear; not only social event, same problem occurs when I go to work i.e. detective. To see the tasks, I have to exit  the game and restart again.

Re: Social Event Tasks Won't Appear

@IsabelleYvonne this is a rather old post, could you make a new post with a little more information on what is and isn't happening in your game?

Please tell me how you managed to fix it.  This problem occurred in my game during the same play time that I had another (successful) dinner party.  All of a sudden it stopped working.
