I haven't played the Ghost Hunter career in... I don't know, maybe nine years? And I figured I'd try it again, only to find that as soon as my sim clears one ghost from a haunted lot, the assignment completes, she gets paid, and the other ghosts disappear. This happened with her first two jobs on day one; I'd given her the job and run an MC town reset the previous sim-day.

Is this the state of the profession these days? Google turned up lots of complaints about how broken it is dating back to 2012, but it's difficult to tell what problems exist in the fully patched game. And if it is broken, what, if anything, can I do about it?

I have a sim in the ghost hunter profession that is active right now, and this is not happening to him. He has to find all the ghosts on the lot for the job to complete. He has made it to level 6 now, I think. (not in game) I use a bunch of nraas mods as well as others.

I'm not smart enough to know why it isn't working for you. Just wanted you to know that doesn't happen in my game. I've played ghost hunter several times over the years and it has not glitched out for me at all.

In my experience, the assignments sometimes end early if you weren't directing the ghost hunter from the very beginning. Then again, it doesn't really matter, as the job still counts as completed. You just collected fewer ghosts.

Thanks for the replies. Interestingly, this didn't happen when I tried again last night. I'd saved as my sim arrived on the second lot, and this time, she had to capture each ghost to complete the job. This was on a Monday, and the assignments all behaved themselves through Friday. Or actually Thursday, because she was pregnant on Friday and even though I removed her days off with MC, she didn't have any available work.

Then on Monday, the same thing happened with both jobs, except this time, each ghost counted as two: a five-ghost house was "completed" after the third was collected. And she wasn't somehow more efficient, either. When the progress tracker said 4/5 ghosts cleared, there were still three on the lot and two in her inventory. She was at level 4 by then.

I quit and reloaded, and everything worked normally again. So I'm not sure what's breaking, whether it was the weekend or the pregnancy or something else. But I probably shouldn't play an entire sim-week in one sitting anyway; maybe the game itself is trying to send me a message.
