[OPEN] [MSP] Cannot upload Photos to Fashion Simstagram (Routing Failure)

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? 1.54.120.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? ALL expansions, game pack and stuff packs released up to 05Sep2019.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Enter Freelancer Career and select Fashion Photographer. Get a gig and complete photo tasks. Get photos approved by client. Put photo on the wall. Then try to upload to FASHION Simstagram under the Freelancer option on photo.
What happens when the bug occurs? The sim waves their hand in the air and the routing issue thought bubble comes up. And the photo cannot be uploaded.
What do you expect to see? I expected to see the sim snatch the photo off the wall and upload the same way they do when they send a photo to be approved by client.
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? No

Hey Happy Sim Family!

I have tried everything I know to resolve my issue.  I thought it might have been CC/MOD related, so, I did a complete 50/50.  In the end, I removed all cc/mods, deleted my localthumbcache and still no success. So, after reviewing the forums for what seemed like days, I found many possible answers but none worked (sorry if I missed a real solution, guys) and I decided to RESET THE GAME TO FACTORY SETTINGS without reinstalling per @crinrict posted instructions.  I was so scared, but did it.  Now, I have a vanilla game. I made a sim and started the career only to come right back to the same problem.  She cannot post to FASHION simstagram although she can post to regular simstagram, but that doesn't complete the goal. Although I should note that I did find out that sims will need a computer present to post, at least that is what the thought bubble said. [sigh]  I am at a complete dead-end here.  Help me my sim hommies...you're my only hope!

[Oh...tried to attach the saved sim file, but....I do not have a real clue here.  Sorry]

  • Having the routing issue as well when doing this interaction....

  • I have this problem too! I can’t send my approved pictures to the fashion simstagram I do everything it says I put the picture on the wall then I click on the picture and the freelance bubble to post to the fashion simstagram my sim takes the photo puts it back in her inventory I click on my computer and the freelance bubble is greyed out (saying the approved picture needs to be in your sims inventory, when it clearly is in her inventory!)  so I can’t post the approved picture to the fashion simstagram it’s very frustrating to not be able to complete the career tasks! I was so excited about the photography career and now that it doesn’t work it’s very disappointing 😞 hope it gets fixed soon!! 

  • My sim has been able to post onto the fashion simstagram but it does not fulfill the career task therefore not being able to finish the assignment. 

  • Not really sure how to post on here as I'm new to this but im having the same problem. I get the approved photo back, the option appears for her to upload it and she is able to and completes the action because she gets added fame but it does not check the task as completed in the gig so she does not get to complete the job and get payed. Really not sure how to fix this.

    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have these expansion packs so far, Island living, Get Famous, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, City Living, GEt Together, Get to Work. Game packs I have Realm of Magic, StrangerVille, Jungle Adventure, Parenthood, Vampires, Dine Out, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat. And for Stuff Packs, I have Moschino STuff, Bowling NIght, Vintage Glamour Stuff, Kids Room Stuff, Movie Hangout, Cool Kitchen Stuff, and Perfect Patio
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Take a picture, get one approved, and try to continue on.
    What happens when the bug occurs? I have tried to get three pictures approved. The first two were approved, but I never got them back in the mail (which a few people I think may have already reported this), the third picture was returned but I was unable to post it to the fashion simstgram. All three pictures were stated they were approved in the notifications, but was not given credit in the job performance, therefore it will not let me continue.. she is suppose to post it to Fashion Simstagram but when I click for her to do that, she doesn't do it. It's like she can't do it, though the option is given to me. This in turns makes the assignment miss it's deadline.
    What do you expect to see? I should get credit for it in the job performance so I can advance in my career and advance to the next task for my gigs.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

    Not sure how to do a screenshot that will show the gig information and the notification list so you can see where per that the picture was approved but yet didn't show up as a credit to the tasks for that gig.

    @rckjd Merged your post with the simstagram thread.

    Are you trying on the pic or the computer ?
  • It sounds to me like your are having the same problem as I am having, which I think is slightly different to what is described here:

    I have absolutely no problem in uploading the photo to fashion simstagram or whatever it is called, and then the task gets completed in the panel, but the assignment does not end, so I never get paid and I never get fame. Basically nothing happens, but I AM able to upload the photo.

    I made a report on this issue:

    https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Never-finishes-assignments-in-photography-career/m-p/9491993#M155979

    ....also I think the problem being addressed here in general about uploading might simply be fixed by: having the approved photo in you inventory and then clicking ont the computer to upload it.
    I had the problem descirbed here, and that was all I had to do. Don't have the photo on the wall, have it in your inventory, and then don't press the photo, press the computer.

    I just got Moschino Stuff and have the same issues as others.

    I get the approved photos back in the mail, yet placing on the wall either gives routing issue or just put the photo back in sim inventory.

    Option on all computers is greyed out stating photos must be in sims inventory, which they are.

    Happens with and without mods installed.
