Is it just me or are the professions borked?
I got to level 3 on Ghostbuster and Firefighter (may have been level 4) and it doesn't count what I do. I'll catch all three spirits and it will say 0/3. I'll get rid of a small house fire and it won't count.
I only have Supercomputer, Sliders, and the Skintone Enabler installed. They are all updated for Ambitions, so I'm thinking this must be a game bug.
I don't have any mods in right now and my game does this. It doesn't have anything to do with what level you are at, it happens when you switch to another household and then go back to them. I've seen some complaints about it at the sims forum. I couldn't tell you why it is happening.
What you say makes me think game bork.
I ran a test hood to see if it would fix the problem. It was a copy of the Twinbrook hood I've been playing.
I took the entire Mods folder out and played, and the game worked fine. I put the folder back in and got the same results. I tried different things with the game while the Mods folder was in to make sure it wasn't a fluke, like switch to different households during my ghostbuster's work time and also play another household and switch to my ghostbuster right before he had to go to work, and it still worked fine.
Not sure if 'resetting' the Mods folder had anything to do with it. Hmm.
