I've posted this to both the Sims3 forums and to Mod the Sims, and so far nobody's really had any ideas. So I'm posting this here, on the off-chance that someone has an idea.
I can't get my magician to play for tips. She did it once, and I can't figure out how to repeat it. Whenever I click on Play For Tips, she puts the tip jar out, but moments later, she puts it away again. She does nothing when I tell her to do the individual tricks. One person on MtS suggested that I manually put her in her work clothes, because that worked with that person's singer, but that doesn't work for me. It was also suggested that it might be a problem with uneven ground, but that isn't it, either.
I'm about to start the laborious process of removing all my CC and seeing what happens, but I saw another person say that they had no CC and it was still a problem.
Does anyone here have any thoughts about it?
ETA: I have another character who's a singer and she can sing for tips just fine.
