I have not been able to complete the "Livestream a Game" task. Is there a trick to it? How long to play, how much $$ to make, how many followers? Any suggestions will be much appreciated!

I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old...blame it on the love of rock and roll!

You don't have to meet any special conditions like $ to make or followers. According to the tuning files, you only have to wait until the sim finishes on their own, I made this task based on a whim with the same objective. If you manage to make it work like this, please tell me, but I will keep in mind to look into this in my next testing session.

Hmmm...I wonder how long that takes for them to finish on their own? I had my sim do it for 5 hours with no luck. There's no "timing" circle around the icon in their queue like there is when you just play a game. It's not a big deal to me if the task doesn't clear. I appreciate your keeping it in mind, though! Thanks for all of your work at home mods! I love them!

Thanks for the info , in this case, I will simply change this task to be fulfilled after one hour of livestreaming.
I'm really happy that you enjoy these mods

What tuning files does this use or conflict with? Thanks!

Not too sure if it's this specific mod but I ran a test without mods after updating and noticed that with mods installed the "Parental Controls" and all but the two original video/computer games disappeared and my Gamer Sim had max skills and career level.

Yep, I removed all the Work From Home mods and sure enough the missing options from the pie menu re-appeared; time for an update!

Tried playing this career last night and no tasks are clearing. I think I need an updated Neia_Careers_Commons.package but can't find one. The last one I have is dated 8/2/18. Anyone know where I can find an updated file?

Not Sure If It Still Breaks Computers/Game Consoles
In older versions of this and/or other work from home mods, installing these would break the computers and game consoles making some options unavailable on the computers and the rest of the games unlocked by leveling video game skill unavailable. I see you just updated so I will definitely re-install and report if the problem persists.

I am having an issue and I am not sure if it is one of these Work from Home mods or another one.
The box pops up an hour before with the options of sending your sim to work, working from home or taking PTO, but there is no text. I definitely have the problem with the Tech Guru career as I have been playing a household with a Sim that has the tech career. The sim does go to work when I click what the first pic which should be go to work. This is something that I have noticed for quite sometime and haven't taken the time to figure out what is causing it. In the past, I saw it with all the Work from Home Career Mods.
I have KiaraSims Business Career with Work from Home and there is text. I don't know if it is the NoelleBelleFleur mod or Turbo careers causing the blank text box.
I do have the most current Neia Commons file and the most updated versions of the Work From Home Careers by Noelle.
Any insight?

Thank you so much for this mod! But, I'm having the same issue as mentioned before - I can't complete the "play a game on a gaming console" part. I may have other things blocking it. or maybe I'm using the wrong device?

So I just installed this mod and I got the option to work from home. I was at the max branch for the Esports side. I was given 2 task One of them was live stream a game. Which I did. But the other task was blank. There was no text beside it and it had a 0/1 as well. I am not sure what it is and I have tried out the different options that was given in the description and nothing pops up. I also can not leave work or finish work until I complete that task. So I am wondering if anyone else has that problem.

If anyone is still trying to find a solution to the problem with the game console, then I made this fix. Now you won't see this event in your tasks. Delete the main mod file and use only the fix file!
