Re: [OPEN] Not receiving royalties (GF not Installed)
I tested another household in the same save game, and royalties work for the new household.

I've moved them from Sulani to Glimmerbrook before, but they've not received royalties ever. Could it be an issue with starting out in Sulani maybe?
Update: I just tested starting in Sulani on another save and got royalties. I'm at a loss too.
Also moved my main household out and back in as suggested, and still no royalties.

Let's try a factory reset
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Just put back your saved game and nothing else and test how it goes. If it now works, you can start putting stuff back
- Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
- Tray Folder
- Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
- Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
- Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
- ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
- Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
Sorry it's been a few days because of some personal stuff. I've tried a factory reset as you described and it still didn't give me royalties. My save has a few different .ver I assume versions? I dragged them all over into my new folder. So I'm not sure if those are the issue or if those don't matter?
Hi
I am having the same problem. I don't use mods. My Sim (not a mermaid etc) is publishing his books but not receiving any money for them!

- @minibus101 Would you mind sending me your save ? Instructions in my signature

HI @Bambyeyes
Would you mind sending me your save too ? Instructions in my signature
Hi!
Thank you for your quick reply! I followed all the steps and I have a link now. However, I'm new to this forum so can you please explain how I send a pm? Because if I click on your account and go to contact me I do not see anything to send you a pm. Hence, I'm asking you to guide me haha because maybe I am doing something wrong.
One last question the file path I compressed (zipped) had also more of them which ended with ver.2 and stuff. do you need that inside the zipped file also?
Kind regards,
Bamby
HI @Bambyeyes
If you click on the envelope, you should be taken to the page to compose a PM.
the Ver files are automatic backups. Don't really need them for this issue but you can leave them in. Doesn't hurt.
- @Bambyeyes I think I finally found the reason why I wasn't able to duplicate this issues.
Tried my game - worked fine
Since you have only a few packs, I tried on your pack combination - no royalties.
Need to do further testing but it looks like the missing Get Famous pack is causing this. (not saying you need to buy that, it should work without). So that's potentially the problem but I need to check on some other saves I have. - @Bambyeyes I've tested all the three saves folks from this save have sent me and I'm finally able to duplicate if I don't have the pack active.
Unfortunately I have no solution on how to solve it but duplicating is the first step. Hopefully it can be fixed soon Hi crin,
After I bought ecolifestyle it started to work. Maybe it was that idk. But it works now. Thanks for all your help! Have a great 2021.
Greetings,
Bamby
@crinrictI can confirm this issue still exists, playing two mermaids which are receiving no royalties for books and songs. Previously one of them (not a mermaid at that time) was receiving money for documentaries. I don't have Get Famous. The expansion it provides nothing for humble island writers/musicians. I am quite annoyed that there is no fix for this after such a long time, apart from purchasing a 40e expansion just for the fix.
