[NEEDS SAVES] [GF] Fame not progressing

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Nederlands
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.69.57
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except Journey to Batuu and Snowy Escape
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play with a sim that allready genrated fame before the november patch. This bug exists in my game since then. Hadn't updated to the november patch since last week and then i noticed the bug.
What happens when the bug occurs? Not only can we not toggle fame options but my existing sim, allready famous and on the treshold of B-Star isn't gaining any fame. The progress bar is not moving forward anymore.
What do you expect to see? I want her to gain fame and the progress bar moving forward
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. November 10 patch but only noticed it last week because i patched the game last week. At first i thouht it was because of the not toggle fame bug.

I did the following to try to repair it:  I removed all my mods and deleted the localthumb package. Restarted the game. Played for 24 sim hours. Bug still there. I tried an older save. Did not help. Yesterday i repaired the game (unfortunately it updated to the latest patch when i did the game repair)  and tested for 24 simhours trying everything that would add fame. No luck. The progress bar is not moving. At his point i don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to lose my save again for the umpteenth time and start a new game.

    @Trimoth I merged your post as I assume it's the same since you already posted in this post as well.

    It's best to keep to one thread per issue.
  • I am having trouble getting my sim's fame level to increase past level 3. They have got the little green bar up to the 4th star, but It won't level up to give me the 4th fame level no matter what I do to gain fame. I play with no mods or cc and never have. I have got the latest update of the game and I own all the packs except the kits and high school. 

  • Hi!

    My sim is at the B-Lister level of fame and is on the verge of ranking up to Proper Celebrity. However, she has the maximum number of fame needed to become a Proper Celebrity but it isn't working. I've had her do things to bring her fame up for several in-game hours but she just isn't leveling up. Please help!

    Thank you!

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not Sure
    What happens when the bug occurs? Do actions that increase Fame, Icon for Fame increase appears, fame meter doesn't move
    What do you expect to see? Fame meter should slowly increase

    Please describe the patch or change you made. Tried removing mods and starting a new character. Removing mods doesn't do anything, but starting a new character does

    I've been stuck on fame level 2 for a while now and nothing I do increases my meter. I've been daily doing social media actions, talking to people, and after numerous in game days, the meter hasn't moved at all. The same has been happening with my reputation meter, and I've noticed it actually decreases because my sim seems to be hated by another and gets into frequent fights. It's been slowly ruining my character, and nothing I do seems to fix it.
