Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)What is your current game version number? 1.47.51.1020What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? allSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? At your home lot, create new track, burn to disk and submit it to Maxis music studio. Go to other lot such as Bar and wait 1 day. Return to home and check your mailbox.What happens when the bug occurs? Notification says "... meet the requirement of Dinky Beats music" or something like this. Not Maxis but Dinky.What do you expect to see? A response from Maxis not DinkyHave 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 Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Tag

So my sim produced and burned a track. I sent the track to a high end label (Maxis something), then I got a response in the mail from Dinky Beats saying no... Then I got a call from someone at Dinky Beats asking to sign my sim. I accepted... Now all tracks are veing released under New Taskmasters... I am really confused Can anyone help? Also I have never heard from Maxis......(machine?) Even though I have sent quitr a few tracks their way (my sim has maxed the skill btw)Thanks!

Hi guys! We have not been able to reproduce the issue were tracks submited to a specific label seem to be picked by a different one. Is anyone still experiencing this issue? Would you be willing to share your save files with us? https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-How-to-Send-User-Files-to-The-Sims-4-Team/m-p/6065302 Thanks a lot!

@gusgustherat Same issue, here we are in Sep 2021 and NO FIX? Is everyone having this issue? Super annoying.

I have a similar issue, where everything says it was released under Tastemasters, regardless of which of the three labels I released under.Worse still, I eventually get dropped by them all. I check my phone for updates. Tracks are regularly created by me and released. The notification wall says they hit Simify and my label will be pleased. But I still "time out" with all three labels and get dropped. On the royalties notification, those tracks which were the latest to be released successfully never show up, but there are many older ones still receiving 20-30 simoleons each day.Maybe there is a maximum and I have exceeded it? Who knows.

What about the issue of getting dropped by your label even though you are releasing a track a day.. Even after releasing a track, I check in with the label via cell phone and it says the same thing.. that my sim has 6 hours to create and release a new track or they will be dropped. I thought maybe the message was just glitched.. but nope.. sure enough. My sim got dropped. Super annoying. ☹️

[OPEN] [GF] Label you submitted music too is not the one showing

This is a small EA bug with the names of the publishers. You sign a contract in my case with the producer "Good Bit", and someone else publishes it. As long as they pay me for it, I do not care.
@LeeQuiring
But your issue is not the same. This is related to this bug

Yes my latest songs and even videos are not showing up in the royalty report...

Ah, I see. So there is a limit, even if that is only a bug. Books, videos, these things cycle out and you have to add fresh content. Maybe that's the problem with tracks. They never go off the list.

We are still not sure if this is just a short list and if they pay for it. EA has not said anything yet.

It seems this thread is now a mixture of things.

We have currently to bug reports for this

The list is too short and not all royalties show up on the notice. It's unclear if you always get paid for the ones not showing up --> If you have this, please post here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Published-objects-list-to-short-potentially-no/m-p/7219648#M80305

The song you uploaded is not showing for the right label. The label might even change over time --> If you have this, please post here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-GF-Submit-a-music-to-Maxis-but-notification-says/m-p/7250711

I've merged this with the second one for now. Please post in the other if that's also the issue.

Hi guys!

We have not been able to reproduce the issue were tracks submited to a specific label seem to be picked by a different one.

Is anyone still experiencing this issue? Would you be willing to share your save files with us?
