- crinrict6 years agoHero+@southaltan You won't get any bills so that makes things more difficult I guess.

Buying a new mail box has fixed it for me, at least for some days now. In the meantime I had another bug - I got no response for my submitted photos, but that could be fixed by repair game.
It has to be said that this career is the glitchiest thing ever.

From what I've seen, it's broken when submitting portrait-orientated photos. Landscapes are always fine. Thanks for all the reports everyone 🙂

Ah ha! The portrait orientation fits with where I've experienced the bug. Sneaky little portaitses!

I'm sorry, but I've been sending landscape photos this whole time, and I'm still having this issue. Is there something else I can do?
Sim living in a regular house in the cheaper Del Sol Valley area. Sending landscape pics and I also have this issue. Pls fix asap ☹️

@vadish3825Look in your family inventory. Also, make sure to test this without mods.

For those of you where sending landscape doesn't work
- Are only sending landscape ?
- Did you send multiple ?
- What pose did you use ?
- Did you use the mark to place take the shot ?
- Which camera did you use ?
- Which lot did you try it on ?
- Did you try replacing the mailbox ?
- Who did you photograph ? Household Members, fashion models, played Sims, Occults ?
- What kind of Sim is your Sim ? Vampires ?
- Did you check your household inventory after the bills came ?
- Are you using any mods/cc in your game ?
This Happened to me also,
I don't know if this is related to this bug but I will say it if it helps narrow down the cause of the bug.
One of the freelance photography gigs I did was missing the Task "post photo to fashion simstagram"
After completing the gig, the bug occurred on the very next gig and every one after that.
Unfortunately I don't know which gig it was but I do know it was a level 1 photography skill one.
I also have a workaround that has been working for me so far.
If you have an approved photo from an earlier gig in your inventory, you can post it to fashion simstagram instead.
Hope this helps someone out.
- crinrict6 years agoHero+@Breetai_SDF-1 Have you been taking portrait or landscape photos ?
- @crinrict Both, I got the same problem with either portrait or landscape, though I did first encounter the problem with portrait. However since I posted, I have been using my workaround and when the bills finally came in I received all the missing approved photos at once, small ones ended up in my sims inventory and medium and large ended up in the family inventory. I have not encountered a gig with the missing task since, so it seems to have resolved itself. On that note if I encounter the missing task again, I will repeat what I did last time and report back here with the results.

- Are only sending landscape? I was, but tried portrait last night and was successful. I had a gig where the only things I needed to do were take 5 pics and then send them to be approved. I placed the pics on my wall next to a computer, chose "Submit to Photo Agency" (or whatever it says), and immediately I got a message that they had been approved and I passed the gig.
- Did you send multiple? I submitted 5 pics
- What pose did you use? Fashion in Everyday clothing
- Did you use the mark to place take the shot? Yes
- Which camera did you use? Crystal Clear Digital Camera $2500
- Which lot did you try it on? Newcrest
- Did you try replacing the mailbox? Not yet
- Who did you photograph? Household Members, fashion models, played Sims, Occults? I took the photographs on a lot in Oasis Springs of a normal family I had played, then submitted them on my current household lot in Newcrest
- What kind of Sim is your Sim? Vampires? Normal
- Did you check your household inventory after the bills came? Yes, and no pics
- Are you using any mods/cc in your game? Yes, but I have tested with no mods/cc and it did not make a difference
Overall, because the gig I was able to pass was just taking pics and submitting them, I'm still unsure if I can complete a gig where I have to also post them to Simstagram. I am testing that today, but it is worth noting that I was successful with portrait pics, and not landscape.

@Breetai_SDF-1 I'm not sure it's missing. There's simply task where you don't have to send them to Simstagram. Different task maybe ? It's interesting to see that you encountered it after such a task though.
- janyses6 years agoSeasoned Ace
@Breetai_SDF-1The task wasn't missing. Some of the gigs don't require you to post to Simstagram.
*What Crinrict said, lol. - janyses6 years agoSeasoned Ace@crinrict It sounds like he just happened to choose a gig that required sending to Simstagram. It's not related to the previous task.
I have tried landscape photos and it still doesn’t seem to be working, also my photo of sim in formal wear got approved but it still said I had to take a photo of subject in formal wear....very disappointed in a pack that’s main selling point was a career which doesn’t work....any idea when this bug will be fixed ?!
I have tried both landscape and portrait and still nothing.
- crinrict6 years agoHero+@Kathsubo Have you tried replacing your mailbox ? Is this for an apartment or house ?
- JeanVW6 years agoSeasoned Ace
While I don't have this bug in particular... I do have another very frustrating bug. Along with the mouse clicks not registering bug, I have a bug where I obviously meet the requirements for an assignment, but the game doesn't register this as well. For example I need to have a sim in athletic attire, I do that, I take photos, game does not register it.
Very annoying.
I like The Sims 4, but I feel they rushed this pack. I'm seeing so many people struggle with this career.
- crinrict6 years agoHero+@JeanVW Could you please create a separate thread for that ?
- Fischreuse6 years agoSeasoned Ace
And there is more to fight with this career. If you have fought your way to level 3 - with all detours - there is a new option on the PC that does not even make friends for 1 minute: edit photo.
I still think, oh how nice, I can transform these non-disconnectable emotions on the photos least, but Flitschepiepen (German slang for damn) - the first attempt happens .... nothing. The second attempt ... announces a failure on the whiteboard and the photo has disappeared from the sim inventory.
Do I feel like further experiments with this option? Nope! Portrait or Landscape I'm still having this problem. So that's not the problem. Living in Windenburg. No Mods. Small house. Going to have to find her a new career. She got bills to pay! lol
None of that means anything, it doesn't work in portrait or landscape and I don't have mods either it doesn't matter how many you send none come back in the mail period. Somebody please fix!
- crinrict6 years agoHero+@NuJeruCitizen Have you tried replacing your mailbox yet ?
I've tried it in an apartment and in a house with mailbox, I doubt it's the mailbox. I'm sure it's a glitch/bug in the game, many others are experiencing the same thing.
