Promoting Careers in Sims 4: A Troublesome Issue

As a dedicated Sims 4 player, I've encountered an issue that's been frustrating me for a while now. Specifically, when attempting to promote my Secret Agent sim, I found myself stuck in a loop of receiving the wrong confident moodlets from other careers. In this article, I'll describe the patch or change that caused this problem and how it can be resolved.

The issue appeared after installing the latest game patch (1.84.171.1030), which suggests that the bug is related to a recent update. Prior to the patch, my Sims had been promoting seamlessly without any issues.

To reproduce the bug, follow these steps:

1. Start a new save or load an existing one.

2. Ensure your sim is in the Secret Agent career and has reached the required level for promotion.

3. Wait until the sim returns home from work and make sure their work performance reaches excellent with the golden checkmark.

4. While at work, select the 'Take Risks' interaction to increase the chances of promotion.

Unfortunately, instead of receiving the expected confident moodlets, my sim received moodlets such as 'Confident from Intimidating Lackeys', 'Confident from a Big Break at Work!', or 'Sad due to Failed Mission!'. The work performance bar would slightly lower back to excellent without the golden checkmark.

To fix this issue, I recommend trying the following:

1. Load an older save before the patch and see if the problem persists.

2. Disable any customizations you may have installed for the game.

3. Reinstall the game or start a new save with minimal mods.

If you're experiencing this bug as well, here are some additional troubleshooting steps to help resolve the issue:

1. Check your game version number and ensure it's up-to-date.

2. Review any recent updates or patches that may have caused the problem.

3. Consider reinstalling the game or starting a new save with minimal mods.

As a community, we can work together to identify the root cause of this bug and find a permanent solution. In the meantime, I hope these steps help you promote your Sims' careers without encountering this frustrating issue.

What do you expect to see?

I expect my sim to receive the correct confident moodlets and successfully promoted to the next level of their Secret Agent career without any issues. I'm hoping that by sharing this experience, others may find a solution or workaround to resolve this problem.
