Sims 4 not getting promoted, not able to access fridge or bookcase correctly

xllmtx wrote:Hi I've been having trouble with a family that I made today (Sims 4) - Whenever he goes to work, when he arrives home he cannot "open" the fridge or the bookcase to see its contents (to choose what he wants to eat/read). I believe this is happening because it's still stating that my sim is at work, even once he's got home. I also can't access his inventory because of this - bascially I cannot do anything that it prevents you from doing whilst at work, although I'm home. The ability only comes back if I get him to travel somewhere & then return home, but then when he goes to work and gets back, the problem occurs again. Also, he doesn't seem to be getting promoted at all, although I've done everything they've asked, he's energised and always completes his daily work out, also has a good mood. Hope you can help.

could this be the problem? I'm trying to work out how to run the game without this package in use, but I can't figure out how to do it via Origin.
Also, ideally I'd like to use the package with the game - I just don't get why it's stating my sim is still at work & therefore preventing him from doing stuff,
when he's NOT at work. Annoying! - Have there been reports of any bugs with the new careers (athletic & business?) -
Thanks for responding! Hope somebody can help w/this.
