Job icons are blank
jrd:
I recommend write protecting the entire The Sims 2\TSData and University\TSData trees at least. While the game doesn't seem to fark up other files (yet), you can't be too safe with EA Games "quality control".
Just remember to uncheck it if Nightlife ever comes out.
Fantus:
hmm, some mods writes somes extra data in the character file.
is it possible, that this is a combination of a bug / bad design of maxis and these extra data?

I appear to be experiencing a variant of this problem.
I have a newly-graduated Uni couple that I just moved to a lot (Maxis-made house). 6 of the male's 4 wants were blank. The two that were not blank were to get particular jobs (military or law enforcement). When either of the couple tried to get a job, either on the computer or by newspaper, there was only one job available -- law enforcement -- and then it said there were no more jobs available.
I replaced the objects.package file in c:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 2 University\TSData\Res\Objects with the one from the same subdirectory in the compressed.zip folder on my Uni disk, and I marked it read-only. When I returned to the game, the male had all 6 wants again, but there was still only one job available. If he took the job, his two job-related wants went blank. When he or his wife tried to get a job after that, there was still only one job available (still law enforcement).
These two never owned the remote control car at Uni and do not have it in their new home. The female was born into the game, the product of a CAS-made Sim and a townie; she never had the remote control car in her family home. The male was a teen townie who was sent to Uni.
Thoughts?
Thanks much,
Phyllis

I had the same bug appear in a greek house, also no icon on the sim if he went to class or campus, but then I went to another non-greek house which only had Darren Dreamer living there, and the same thing was happening. I didn't know the car caused problems, so I yanked out my entire Sims2 folder and reinstalled, then moved the folder bacc in,and so far no problems. I will write protect those files, though!

I just developed this problem ~ blank work-related icons (or those scratching lines replacing them in thought balloons), no work clothes, pregnant Sims in their own jammies, etc. ~ so I'm thrilled to find the answer right here. Thanks!!
