From what I can tell this seems to be related to the High Maintenance sim trait, and it's not that easy to remember to manually find it under the active sim to do the "Prepare for..." next task or whatever it is, not just homework related.

Edit: removed excess letters from broken pc; typos fixed

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.96.365.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Vintage Glamour Stuff, Toddler Stuff, Tiny Living, Spooky Stuff, Snowy Escape, Seasons, Realm of Magic, Parenthood, Outdoor Retreat, Nifty Knitting Stuff, My First Pet Stuff, Movie Hangout Stuff, Courtyard Oasis Kit, Laundry Day Stuff, Kids Room Stuff, Journey to Batuu, Island Living, Holiday Celebration, High School Years, Growing Together, Get Together, Get to Work, Get Famous, Fitness Stuff, First Fits Kit, Everyday Clutter Kit, Eco Lifestyle, Dream Home Decorator, Discover University, Dine Out, Desert Luxe Kit, Country Kitchen Kit, Cottage Living, Cool Kitchen Stuff, City Living, Cats & Dogs, Industrial Loft Kit, Bowling Night Stuff, Life of the Party Digital Content, Outdoor Playtime Digital Content, Vibing Streamer Gear Digital Content
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Perform daily task for work, go to work. My Sim is level 1 of the Tech Guru career track. Sim also has the Overachiever trait.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim receives "Underprepared" moodlet causing Tense mood, even though Sim has gone to work prepared.
What do you expect to see? Because the Sim has completed the Daily task, I would expect to NOT see the "Underprepared" moodlet. Because the Sim has the Overachiever trait, I would like (although not expect) to see something like a "Prepared" moodlet giving a positive emotional boost.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Installed Growing Together

Every time I play this game, there's always a new bug. I would literally pay $60 for a, "Fix All Your Bugs" pack. I get so sick of taking a break, coming back, and having a million things go wrong.

 

Anyway, today's fun bug is an Overachiever Sim getting a tense moodlet from being "Underprepared" by not completing her Daily Task for work. Except they have. And now I have to figure out how to remove a moodlet with cheat codes because the game is...broken.

 

I don't understand how a simple check is so hard to perform. Is Daily Task Completed? No? THEN give moodlet. If not, DON'T. It's like EA makes their interns work on The Sims before letting them program the boys' games. So fed up.

Still unresolved after the last update. This bug has been plaguing my Sim throughout her career.

Underprepared buff from forgetting daily task when there isn't one

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Idk
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything but a couple of kits
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Turn on your Xbox. Start or load a save on The Sims 4. Have a sim join the Barista career (5:00am-7:00am) with the overachiever trait. Have the sim go to work and work hard every day. Mine is promoted to the third level but I believe this was also happening at the second level. Not sure about the first because she had a self discovery to get the overachiever trait after being promoted to the second level. Also she has level three Mixology.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim comes home from work with a +1 Tense buff: Underprepared (From Forgetting Daily Task) when the Barista career only requires level 2 Mixology, my sim has level 3 Mixology. There is no daily task listed for the Barista career. She goes to work in a positive emotion each day. There's nothing for her to forget, so she shouldn't get the buff. Either this is the bug or not having a daily task is the bug? But I'm pretty sure the buff is the bug because I don't remember any teen career having a daily task, just a low skill requirement to get promoted from 2 to 3.
What do you expect to see? I expect my sim to not be tense about forgetting something that doesn't exist.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

My sim is tense for no reason.

EA Sims Team
Hello @zeldaria195 !

Thanks for reaching out with the save file. Would like to request some info, If anyone of you are still encountering this (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s) before the sim attends the work would be helpful to understand what might be happening at the back end just before the issue occurs.

If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file.

Instructions here: http://x.ea.com/74420

Thanks!
