I am having my founder taking up a stylist career in my dynasty attempt, because townies have gotten old and started changing into ugly clothes that won't match. However I encounter a strange glitch that I've never met before in my other stylist game files, and am praying my luck that lovely forum members here might have an answer to it.
The girl tries to work in the salon on her first day, but once I clicked 'work' or 'perform job' she automatically cancelled her action and stood idle. I thought it might be the problem with Salon (The town is Midnight Hollow without Ambitions buildings so I placed them from the community bin; the salon is EA made, but not the Ambitions one, I think it's from Outdoor Stuff), so I throw her a party, bought the styling station, hoping to level her up from home until she has 'offer makeover' ability and can get spawn jobs at townies' home. However, they still jumped, cancelled all actions once they got near the station.
Since this is 4x4, I (think I am allowed to) let another household member perform the makeover action, and I did - that person also successfully entered the townie into CAS. I then had my stylist quit her career and rejoin from level 1 - now she can use the station immediately. Soon I had her performing makeovers using the station for a few days, increased her to level 3. However, when it is working day the next week, after clicking 'perform job', action cancelled once more. She tried to offer makeover yet this cancelled in the same way. The stylist station once more became unusable (only for her!).
In desperation I made a testing file from that stage (I hope this is allowed, I have a backup file for story purpose anyway, never quit the play file without saving to avoid game issues) and moved the stylist girl to a new town - she is once again able to work. I saved her to bin, opened a new version of Midnight Hollow, placed the same building, had her going to work. Now strangely, neither salon nor spawn jobs has problem at all.
However, I cannot continue from there and must go back to my main file (which I left as it was before testing all these glitches) and therefore I can only think of forum help - please let me know if there is a work around to this glitch. Also if anyone feel confused with my descriptions and bad English, I'll try to explain these again...
P.S. In the testing file I've tried all other Ambitions careers, their work just fine. Stylist problem is the only one.
