Catching Frogs - Odd Jobs Trouble

Missmagoo2

My Sim accepted an odd job for catching frogs for research. The directions told me to take my sim to Mua Pel'am, go to the waterfall, and catch frogs. There were no skill requirements. Seemed pretty easy, so I accepted.

I take my sim to the waterfall, select the option to "attract frogs" and started trying to catch them.
It took me ALL day and my sim did not catch a SINGLE frog. And of course I get a notice for a CRITICAL FAILURE and telling me if my sim DID go to the waterfall for the job she agreed to, she wouldn't have had such a failure.
Did I encounter a glitch or does my sim just have bad luck?

I'll try to see if I can re-create this "problem" and see if I have the same result. I was able to complete a different odd job without any trouble before this one.

I had the same problem. I sent my sim back on another day to see if she could do it outside of the job she still can't.

I'm not being able to complete any odd jobs.

I can't seem to complete any odd jobs either. Don't know what i'm doing wrong. I get the frogs in my inventory but it doesn't count for the task , same thing with taking photos. Is there somewhere we need to bring them?
hmm I don't have any mods

You have to press attract frogs then immediately click again and say catch frogs. Works straight away. Hope this helps! 😊
