Missing Electronic Drafting Tablet

My Sim graduated from College with a Communications Degree and that allowed my Sim to enter a career as a Charity Organizer, Civic Planner, Journalist, Management, or Public Relations at a higher level.

In my case, my Sim had maxed the Public Relations career while going to college. My Sim decided to take the Civic Planner career field, but after doing that, my Sim needed an Electronic Drafting Tablet. However, the tablet was missing from the household inventory and also missing from their personal inventory.  My Sim tried to get one from the Build Mode, but it would not allow my Sim to have access even though my Sim had met the requirements level. The "unlock" description was red meaning that it was not unlocked.

Finding no solutions readily available online. The way my Sim finally got access to the missing Electronic Drafting Tablet was to visit one of the Community Centers in Evergreen Harbor.  I usually choose The Quarry Building's Lot.  Once my Sim was there, I chose the Build Mode. Go to Electronics in Buy Mode's Object by Function. Find the Electronic Drafting Tablet under the "Misc" option of Electronics (three dots in a square). You should note that the writing is no longer in red, but is now green. That means that it is available to your Sim now. Pull out the tablet and place it on the lot where your Sim can pick it up. 

Then go back to Live Mode in the game while still on the lot. Click on the tablet and select the option to Draft ... Blueprint. After that, my Sim placed the tablet into their personal inventory as soon as the Sim completed the task. I did it again to get a spare one, just in case. 

My guess is that, in order to complete a lot of the Work from Home Assignments for Civic Planner, my Sim will NEED to be living in Evergreen Harbor. But, I don't want to move my Sim to one of those neighborhoods just yet. 

Hoping that helps you find the missing Electronic Drafting Tablet if your Sim is not living in Evergreen Harbor after choosing the Civic Planner or Civic Designer careers. 

Discover University - RoomMates

 If your version of Sims 4 allows roommates, i.e. Discovery University, then you are in for an interesting and eclectic treat. The basic needs of a roommate is a spare bed and nightstand next to the bed. 

Roommates have an uncanny knack of locking themselves out at all hours and inopportune times. When you see the roommate standing out in front of the house/apartment with a key in their thought bubble, that means they have gotten locked out. You also may receive a call while out on a date or errand, asking you to come home as soon as possible (now would be better) to let them in. If your Sim (as landlord) does not immediately act to help out, you can click on the locked out roommate to establish an interaction, and click through to "Roommate" then click on the Roommate options to "Help Out." 

Roommates throw parties, eat your leftover food, leave trash out, leave food to rot on coffee tables, use your computer, watch your TV, play music in the middle of the night, and any other annoying situation that they can get into. If you have a garden, they will harvest it before you get the chance, first thing in the morning. But, on occasion, they will also help by cleaning, cooking, taking out the trash, or tending the garden. It is a real mixed bag of behaviors.  

Roommate's Needs

The perk is that you don't have to maintain your roommate's needs, but that's just it.  If your home does not "meet their needs" they will move out.  My Sim once used a roommate's bed, and that was enough to cause the roommate to move out. Make certain that the roommate has an assigned bed that others don't "accidentally" use. The roommates need a "quality" bed.  If your Sim cannot afford an expensive bed, use the Handiness upgrades to improve the bed quality for the roommate. Roommates seem to sleep a lot, in their bed and on sofas.

Roommate Actions

Some roommates have more needs than others. Some will need a lot of specific activities or room ambiances that are not always obvious. The roommate will give a warning that their needs are not being met, but they will not tell your Sim what their needs are.  They may confront your Sim or they may leave nasty notes laying around. Your Sim will likely become angry as a result.  Some roommates are "frisky" in their behaviors and display public affection that might upset your Sim. If you click on the Roommate Interactions, you can usually tell what they are doing in the moment that upsets you.  Your Sim always has the option to Kick Out a roommate. 

Rent

At least twice per week you will receive some rent, but not on Monday's Bill Day. Rent is typically received about mid-day on Sundays and Wednesdays. It is never enough to pay for the full house bill, but each roommate will pay about 10% - 25% of your overall bill. 

Invite a Roommate

If you have a spare bed in your home, you click on the individual Sim, select "more choices" and the option to invite a roommate should pop up.  Roommates cannot be people who have homes or families to take care of.  I have Seasons, so I tend to invite Santa (Father Winter) as an easy option.  If you have multiple roommates, I have learned that Santa can be pretty much of a control freak, leaving nasty notes for your Sim and your other roommates complaining about boundries, which is pretty ironic. My Sim currently has the Father Winter and the Bunny as roommates.  My Sim did try to get the Robot to become a roommate, but it would not come up as an option. 

Your Sim can place Roommate Ads, but then will need to wait for applicants to show up within the week.  Sometimes, the replies never show up. People who knock on your door will have "Potential Roommate" over their heads when you hover your mouse over them. Then your Sim can interact with the roommate prospect to learn more about their traits. Some prospects may not be a good fit. Once you invite the roommate to move in, the ad will disappear. 

City Living - Social Media Career - Chat about work twice with Co-Workers - Issues

If you have Sims 4's City Living expansion pack, and you select the Social Media Careers so that you can work from the office or home options, it's an easy career with little time or effort. Unfortunately, there is a Work from Home "glitch" that has been there since 2016 (based on my research). 

You will be asked to interact with a co-worker. There is one co-worker that you should be able to find under the Relationships/Coworkers group. That's Penny Pizzazz.  However, as you work in this career longer, you can develop other coworker relationships by going into the office and selecting the connections (to improve social needs) after you have left for the office. 

To explain better about meeting needs while at work, visit this At Work page. 

Just be aware that, currently, there is a specific work from home assignment that your Sim will never be achieving.  That's the Chat about Work Twice with Co-Workers that suggests, "Run any of the following interactions: Gossip about Office Romance, Make Fun of Corporate Goons, Brag about Job Title, Offer Career Advice."   

These interaction options are not available under the Social Media Career. These options, if I remember correctly are associated with Business Career, but you can't tap into the Business in order to meet this "at home" obligation for Social Media. In otherwords, don't beat yourself up trying to find these interactions for the Social Media Career, because, as of this point, they are not available. 

I have tried a variety of methods, such as forming a group with my co-worker. I have become best friends with my co-worker, I have met my worker in San Myshuno, and I have even found other co-workers.  None of these interactions work for this specific assignment. 

The Sims Update Techs may fix this in the future, but for now, this is one home assignment you cannot do. I simply invite my co-workers over to chat for an hour to fill some social needs, then send them home. Sometimes my Sim's boss is disappointed with their work performance, but usually they are not at long as my Sim is gaining "popularity" and followers. 

Below, I took screenshots of all the Social Media Work from Home "Friendly Social" interactions that my Sim has available with a coworker, and as you can see, the only one, really, is "Persuade to...."  My Sim and their co-worker got some great photos together of my co-worker dressed as a raccoon.

Notes:  

Another Social Media Work from Home Assignment that trips people up is the one that instructs your Sim to "Get to Know Sims in..." various sections of San Myshuno, such as Uptown, Spice Market, Arts Quarter, and Fashion District. What they really want you to do is to Introduce your Sim to another Sim and then "Get to know" that Sim, under the Friendly Interactions. 

Write a Trending Blog for Followers - Having a Focused moodlet with high Charisma skills and Writing skills is helpful.  Sometimes, the Sim may need to post a few flopped blogs, walk away, and come back to try again. Another moodlet that can help is Playful. 

Brighten the Day of Co-workers twice. Easy enough if you know who your co-workers are. As mentioned above, find your co-workers and invite them over to chat for an hour. 

Participate in UGT of GeekCon. Wait for the GeekCon event to start in the Fashion District and look around for the "Ultimate Gaming Test" to participate. Just hope that the GeekCon is not happening during a rain storm. Your Sim may need to have fairly high Video Gaming skill to participate. 

Hoping this helps.
