Paranormal Inspector Vr

The Premise: As its vaguely English-accented narrator will gladly tell you over and over again, this show seeks to combine natural and supernatural investigation with a team of three experts: intuitive healer Nadine Mercey, certified home inspector Brian Daley, and paranormal investigator and researcher Michelle McKay.

Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.70.84.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Journey to Batuu
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? At some point after joining the Paranormal Investigator Freelance career, the active lots your Sim goes to for work will stop loading in with specters and cursed objects. At this point, you can replicate the bug 100% of the time regardless of gig difficulty or lot location/size.
What happens when the bug occurs? My Paranormal Investigator loads onto a haunted lot without any specters or cursed objects. Cursed objects and Temperance can spawn over time, but often times not enough will spawn to fill the progress bar before you run out of time.
What do you expect to see? Work lot to be sufficiently haunted before my Sim arrives, then continue to spawn cursed objects, etc. while they are there.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
This started happening sometime after my Sim started the career--the first 4-5 gigs worked correctly with cursed items and specters already spawned upon arrival. After that, every time my Sim went to a lot for her career they were affected by this bug. The attached screenshots are of a lot taken as my Sim loaded into it for work.
I have completed 3 novice paranormal gigs, 3 medium and 1 expert. I have not yet seen any ghosts or specters at any of them and the expert one I failed because there weren't enough items to clear or anything to do.
I'm having the exact same problem, after about four jobs no haunted anything when I arrive on the lot. Like you said sometimes haunted objects/temperance will spawn over time but no where near enough stuff! Especially after what it was at the beginning. I just have to keep doing ceremonies and hope the bar fills up...really disappointing because I was enjoying this pack!
Also having this issue. My first paranormal investigator I had aging on, and I didn't get any broken lots, though I didn't get that far. Current game I'm playing with aging off and now the lots don't spawn right after a few gigs. Could be related?
I don't work or have any association with EA. I give advice to the best of my knowledge and cannot be held responsible for any damage done to your computer/game.
Please only contact me via PM when asked to do so.
I tested this on a fresh save (my original one was one I had from before the patch) and went through 10 work nights with everything spawning correctly. A way to avoid this bug may be to use a clean save.

What is your current game version number? 1.75.125.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, game packs and stuff packs except Journey to Batuu.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Do a gig in the Paranormal Investigator career and complete all tasks.
What happens when the bug occurs? Starting after the 5/27 update, when a sim goes on a gig and completes all tasks, the checkbox in the upper left shows the lot is fully exorcised, and dialog options with ghost change from "ask to leave" to "attempt to communicate", indicating the game is recognizing t\he gig as over, However, the dialog box showing gig complete with the "go home" option never comes, and and the investigator sim is stuck on the lot. Clicking the timer and selecting "leave early" does nothing. Even waiting for the timer does not work, the timer counts down to 1m and stays there. Even as the game time continues on well past 6:30.
What do you expect to see? After completing the gig I expect a dialog indicating the gig was completed with an option to "go home". I would then expect my sim to collect their rewards and go home after selecting "go home".
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.

Please describe the patch or change you made. This started immediately after the 5/27/2021 patch.
We're seeing this on easy and medium difficulty paranormal inspector gigs since the 5/27 update . It's occurring on two different PCs, using completely separate save files. All mods currently disabled. Screenshot of work day summary attached..

What happens when the bug occurs? I finish the exorcise the lot job and even get a green check mark. Then the time for the end of work comes but I stay stuck in the job. I clear the house of everything cursed but I am still stuck. Can not finish the gig. Stuck in gig at other sims household.

As an additional test on one of the two computers, I renamed the entire "...\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\ folder to reset everything and started a new game. Cheated medium skill and Paranormal Investigator career for a brand new sim, and had the same issue after completing the gig requirements.

Attend this gig and finish all of the requirements to exorcise the lot 4. Try to leave the lot either by ending early, being sent automatically at the end time of 6:30 am, or by traveling with the cell phone 5. You cannot leave the lot, even if the gig is finished or the time runs out
What happens when the bug occurs? I try to leave the lot after the job is fully completed, I cannot leave the lot, It doesn't force me to leave at the end time, and I cannot leave on my own.

I originally discovered this bug in my normal, day to day save file that I use with mods and cc, but I did a soft reset of my game (deleting the sims 4 folder in documents), and have still encountered this bug. Both sims that I've used to test this bug have been spellcasters if that helps any. If you need anything else I'm happy to oblige!
I have the problem as well. After a few tests the following: I can't leave the lot, but I can restart the game. After restart the sim is no longer stuck, but the job is now not done. As if the sim was never at work.
If I quit the game before the end of the job is reached, the job ends normally, but unsuccessfully. Although the job bar is full and the task was completed.
@bewitching1 Thanks. That seems like a reasonable workaround and hopefully it does work for some people. I'm not sure whats different in my game but that unfortunately, isn't working for me. The timer counts down to 1m remaining, then sticks there, regardless of how far beyond 6:30 the game continues. Clicking the timer continues offering only the "leave early" or "stay late" neither of which do anything, regardless of the time. The cancel job button, in the job pane does nothing either. I'm still testing on a clean Sims 4 folder and I've tried letting the game go a full 24 hours beyond the 630am when the shift should have ended and the state never changes.
