Since installing Ambitions/new patch, I haven't been able to have my Sim excavate anything. They complain of a routing failure, even if they're standing right next to it.
They'll excavate dig sites on lots, but the ones on open land are fucked.
Ahh, so that explains why my sim seemed to be skipping the excavations sites I directed her to. I didn't see exactly what happened because usually I'm elsewhere looking for new places to explore for the sim and just have a long queue of actions lined up in the background.

If your town has two salons, your Stylist gets 2 jobs per day, one for each Salon. For now, I am not personally considering this borked, as one job a day is really, really stupid.
All the careers are a bit slow to get going. I had my sim keep skill books in her inventory and used all the down time to skill up and/or befriend co-workers and customers. After the first few levels, they'll be offered more jobs per day. My level 8 stylists routinely gets at least 3 job offers per day, and I only have the one salon in Twinbrook.
After level 3 I think it was, they can walk around town and offer makeovers to fugly sims, too. They don't receive any extra simoleans for it, but it counts toward experience and helps them advance to the next level.

I rolled up an Architectural Designer last night and gave it a whirl. Just like with the Stylist, all of my customers were happy with my work on every assignment. My only real complaints about AD (other than the tediousness of the tasks) are how long it takes to finish. You have to wait for the client to show up, look it over, and then give you their approval before the task can finally be over. Ideally, all of that could be handled with a popup.

I also kind of hate how the customers are happy with whatever the hell you give them no matter what, but taste is subjective and certainly something the game will never be able to account for. :-/
I agree it's dumb to do one assignment a day and sit around for the rest of the 8 or so hours, so I just do other non assigned 'projects'. It doesn't advance me but I usually have wants to fill anyway. Also if you had a drafting table in your place of business you can practice your skill on that with sketches.

This is good, though, because it makes it more realistic and gives you something to do all day. Two jobs a day can take up the entire work time, and if you dont finish before the day is over, you come by and finish the next day. I like that part.
