She was at 10! At one point, her influence dropped to 9, so I had her dig through dumpsters until it went back up. Her coworkers, who are all stuck at level 1, have varying rebel influences, but most are at 8 or 9. I don't care as much about their career progression, though.

it's working now. I guess Ani's mod was messing with it? I had No Free Work Performance installed for a long time, and I've never had any issues with it, but I usually ignore the social groups stuff. I don't think I ever had a sim wind up in one of the social group careers before. Was the mod create...

I'll check that, but I had Ani's No Free Work Performance mod installed. I finally took it out before I played yesterday, because I'm not playing rotationally and want my sims' coworkers to be promoted. In the meantime, no one but my sim is currently in any level of the Art Appraiser career above Ea...

I just double-checked, and her career progression is switched on. The other sim in the house is able to progress in his career. He just got promoted to Bank Robber.

My sim reached whatever the highest rank was with the Rebels and was offered the Art Appraiser career. She took it, and she's stuck at Eager Artist (level 1). Her performance will increase over the course of her workday, but as soon as she leaves, it resets to zero. I tried altering it using Master ...

Thanks, Chain! In the meantime, C-Dark's idea of updating the the tuning file fixed the issue. The game spawned three paparazzi on load, I removed two of them, and then the game didn't spawn any more, not even on reload. Prior to this, the game would spawn two new paparazzi daily, so every sim day, ...

Oh my goodness, C-Dark, thank you! I'll try tuning the roles!

Ha, I have a tuning mod in there to influence lot hours, because I felt sorry for the nectary and elixir merchants who never got to go home. I'm going to combine the two. Thank you so much!

Yeah, if I turn off paparazzi altogether, none spawn. I'm trying to spawn only one. I like the spice that paparazzi add to gameplay, but I think one should be enough. Three of them stalking my celebrity sims feels like a horde.

I've tried that. And two new paparazzi spawn the next day.

Bringing this back, because I've since removed mods that might've impacted the paparazzi, and started a new save.

In Register, I set the number of paparazzi to 1, but the game will still generate 3 paparazzi. Has anyone else had this issue? How did you solve it?
