[FIXED] Can't finish Video Games/Not earning any money

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.46.18.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Seasons, and Vampire game pack
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Max out a Sim's programming skill and then have them program a video game on a computer.
What happens when the bug occurs? When a sim finishes programming their video game you won't get any money for it
What do you expect to see? You should get some money for finishing the game
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

When leveling my sim's programming skills up I got at least some money whenever I finished a programming task. I definitely used to get money for making video games before I maxed out the programming skill.

It seems that now that my sim maxed out their programming skill I'm not any money for making video games (aside from the small daily royalties for the game), I am still getting money as usual for all the other programming tasks, like making mobile games however.

I should note, I sent my sim down the eSports career track so I missed this bug for a while in my game.

I used cheats to max out another sim's programming skills and had them make a video game, they didn't get any money for it either. I've tried multiple times having my sims make games, I tried it with and without any mods, and the result was always the same, no money was earned for it.


  • Fixed an issue where Sims in the eSport Gamer branch of the Tech Guru career were not earning money when programming video games.

    Fixed in Patch 1.51.75

    I hope that's what this note refers too.

    Feedback would be great

    Is everything fixed for this ?
