Re: [OPEN] Published objects list to short/potentially no payment

Do you get paid for only the 16 as well or could this be a display issue cause too many ?

I haven't tested this in my own game yet so I will tag it as needs input to gather more voices from others.

    I was only regularly paid for the first 16 discs. It was annoying because after some time this first ones brought me only 5 dollars and the rest also had fast half of the value. I did not even get a half dollar for the next one.
    I thought that just as with music tracks, the first discs will disappear but they stayed till the end of 5 - 8 dollars for one. This is definitely discouraging me to record these discs in next game
  • Given how record labels want you pumping out music every other day this bug is easy to reproduce. I can confirm this. However it seems sometimes you do get paid for other tracks but it does not seem like the game properly follows and recognizes those tracks consistently (excluding the normal loss of value).

    After thinking, I'm not sure if I received payment or not for these additional disks. This list was long and included not only payment for disks but for books and songs for guitar. I took it for granted that if there is no disk on the payment list, there is no money.

  • I was just wondering what the status is on this as it's been months since it was reported and it still hasn't been fixed.  I see that it says "needs input."  What does that mean?  What type of input do you need to get this fixed?

    Hi @KrystalGamer1 

    don't think more info as such is needed. QA will ask if they need more.

    I don't know what the status of it is and EA/Maxis never gives out infos beyond we're aware of it.

    What this mostly needs are more people saying it's an issue for them. Needs Input just means that more voices/me toos would be a good thing.

    I'm playing in english; not sure about version, must be most recent because update was Dec 17-18. I have played a couple of previous characters and found I liked them to have a few books published because the daily income made it easier to concentrate on some aspect, like raising children. My most recent character went to college and in her 4th term I noticed her income had dropped from about 1000 a day to 300+ and only her 2 most recent books appeared as the sources of income. This has not happened on other sims. How do I fix this?

    @Kicva Books disappear from the list over time. You only get royalties for a certain amount of time. That's intended.

    That's just pessimistic thinking though...what if I am playing a best selling author/songwriter and my stuff is FOREVER!

    @khitteh The best option is to post in General Discussion and let EA know your thoughts on that :D
