Can confirm this bug. I also tested in a new save (no mods here either)

I’m not convinced this is a bug. In the last update (I think, I didn’t play for a while before so just assuming) quite a few positive karma interactions were removed, presumably to make it harder to achieve max karma by spamming actions on smartphone etc.

The fact that there are still ambitions that rely on missing interactions is buggy, though…

4

I wonder why they bothered to remove it.
Even before making sure to remove the attached ambitions with it at that.
It’s a single player game and we already have cheats for almost everything, so easily leveling Karma doesn’t hurt anyone.

5

I agree, but I can’t think of any other reason why so many karma interactions would disappear.

6

I don’t think they would remove this action because there is an ambition that requires you to do so.

7

The Karma actions to give a thank you card or a surprise gift (also required for an ambition) isn’t showing up as well.

8

I’m not sure a bug would remove some karma interactions and leave others, but it is obvious that either the interactions required by ambition goals should be reinstated, or the goals themselves should be amended to something else to allow ambitions to be completed.
