Art Appraiser career and Time Travel

[MarianT]

Twice now, I've had a sim go back to the past, and both times the spouse has switched careers to Art Appraiser. While this is good for people who want to become Art Appraisers without maxing Rebel influence, it can be a real headache for anyone working towards maxing a career in a dynasty.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It's not just the Art Appraiser career.    I've had criminals become musicians.  I've had athletes become doctors.   It's a chance you take every time you use the travel to the past option.   Randomly the Sim will talk about something and it will change their or another household member's rabbit hole career to another rabbit hole career.

In the immortal dynasty if an immortal's job gets change to level 10 of another career, that career is then off limits for future immortals or it could mean you failed(lose HOF) if it was someone's career that was already immortal. 

Same for Townie DecaDynasty - the career has to remain unique so if you have an heir accidentally hit level 10 in a career used by a prior generation then all that work is out the window.  If not then that just means, that career is no longer viable for future generations.

So basically, don't risk travelling to the past several generations into a dynasty! I can just imagine if you did that on the LAST ONE... ouch.

Near as I can tell, this applies only to Sims who are in rabbithole jobs. If you manage a full Dynasty with self employment, you should never have a problem.

It goes without saying, of course, if someone else has experienced otherwise, please let me know!
