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.
