[FIXED] 'Stuck in the shadow' scenario not completing

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.91
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All but the last kit
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play through the scenario, stuck in their shadow
What happens when the bug occurs? I believe I complete the scenario but I am not getting the rewards.
What do you expect to see? To complete the scenario and get the rewards since 1.91 update was mostly fixing this
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 

‌

I played through this scenario twice; the first time with mods and the 2nd time without a single mod or CC in my game.   Both times it appears I completed it, no new task pop up, it just stays with everything checked off but I don't get the message that I complete the scenario.  Plus on my home page, the newest 3 scenario show up twice.

    Curious about why you may have not seen the outcome of your Stuck In Their Shadow scenario? We were too, and have fixed an issue where the scenario would not progress in some branches, or show your outcome. We will continue to investigate any further cases of this issue occurring.

    Fixed in Patch 1.92.145/1.65

    If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.

    I had the same problem, so I reset it and started over, and it went the way it was supposed to. I am not currently using any mods or CC in a virgin save. I never received the option to have Lewis come over with the pizza but somehow I skipped over that and then after that, it got stuck. 

    Since you had mods in and then removed them, maybe try repairing your game and try again?

    I'm having the exact same problem. I really don't want to start completely from scratch again. 
    I also saw a few other people talking about not being able to complete it so I hope it gets fixed somehow

    I had the same issue.  I usually don't play scenarios but I wanted the new sims that come with the newest ones so I started each scenario in one save.  I decided to play Stuck in their Shadow because I realized another sim would eventually show up.  I did have a mod in that prevents NPCs from being generated and Lewis never showed up.  So I took out the mod and restarted from scratch. Things were going fine but then I ended up with all the current tasks checked off and nothing new happening.  So I gave up, saved all the new sims to my library and am back in my regular save.  It's too bad, I was enjoying the scenario when it was working.

    Mine got stuck on Team up with Lewis. 

    - No snaggle fluster in inventory
    - No dialogue box for 'Listen to Lewis's proposal' - played 10 days at this step - no change.
    - Had lewis as a roomate, moved him out to see if this would trigger... still waiting.

    My scenario got stuck in Au Revior, Lewis! stage. The steps are checked off, even the optional one. Yet the scenario is stuck and won't move forward. I saw someone on reddit suggest moving your sim out of the house but that didn't work for me.☹️

    Same issue here. I was stuck on Team up with Lewis too. Exactly as how you said.

    This is the second scenario in a row that hasn't worked for me. I'm am quite upset and frustrated. Seems like Scenarios were a good idea, but if you can't make them so they work what's the point right?

    I don't use Mods by the way, none.

    I have the same issue, and I also, write about this at the spanih HQ but without answers...

    I'm stuck at "Team up with Lewis" I have literally done everything, even the optional objectives and the scenario just don't continue.

    I'm stuck on this scenario too. The "listen to Lewis' proposal" objective wouldn't complete because Lewis never actually pitched a proposal.
