@minibus101 I tested your save and royalty messages came the very next day for both the teen and the nature documentary for the woman.

    Hi!

    Thank you for your quick reply! I followed all the steps and I have a link now. However, I'm new to this forum so can you please explain how I send a pm? Because if I click on your account and go to contact me I do not see anything to send you a pm. Hence, I'm asking you to guide me haha because maybe I am doing something wrong. 

    One last question the file path I compressed (zipped) had also more of them which ended with ver.2 and stuff. do you need that inside the zipped file also?

    Kind regards,

    Bamby

    HI @Bambyeyes 

    If you click on the envelope, you should be taken to the page to compose a PM. 

    the Ver files are automatic backups. Don't really need them for this issue but you can leave them in. Doesn't hurt.

    @Bambyeyes I think I finally found the reason why I wasn't able to duplicate this issues.

    Tried my game - worked fine
    Since you have only a few packs, I tried on your pack combination - no royalties.

    Need to do further testing but it looks like the missing Get Famous pack is causing this. (not saying you need to buy that, it should work without). So that's potentially the problem but I need to check on some other saves I have.

    Hii @crinrict,

    Okay! I will wait then. I really hope that it can also work without get famous haha.

    Greetings!

    @Bambyeyes I've tested all the three saves folks from this save have sent me and I'm finally able to duplicate if I don't have the pack active.

    Unfortunately I have no solution on how to solve it but duplicating is the first step. Hopefully it can be fixed soon

    Hi crin,

    After I bought ecolifestyle it started to work. Maybe it was that idk. But it works now. Thanks for all your help! Have a great 2021.

    Greetings,

    @crinrict It's been a while since I've started this thread, but I finally purchased the Get Famous pack and it fixed my issue of not receiving royalties. I now receive royalties like normal.

    @crinrictI can confirm this issue still exists, playing two mermaids which are receiving no royalties for books and songs. Previously one of them (not a mermaid at that time) was receiving money for documentaries. I don't have Get Famous. The expansion it provides nothing for humble island writers/musicians. I am quite annoyed that there is no fix for this after such a long time, apart from purchasing a 40e expansion just for the fix.
