Ambrosia Society Newsletter Disappearing

The news letter was delivered but when I got the mail it disappeared? I have no mods etc and wondering if there's a way I can get a new one or get it back? seems like a design flaw to have only one opportunity to order it …

  • SickCicada  Try replacing the mailbox.  If that doesn't help, try a different save.

    If that doesn't work either, remove accountDataDB.package from Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4.  This will remove interim progress on your tasks (but you can restore this file later if you want), and it might also reset something with the event in general that would help here.

      Does this reset your progress in the event and start the event over?

      The first time I was unable to get the Ambrosia Society letter I deleted the mailbox and placed a different one. But now that’s not working. I’m trying a different save, but that’s not working either. I haven’t seen the mail carrier in several Sim days. I don’t have mods in my game, so that’s not causing this glitch.

      Is there an EA update? Trying this next.

        tswarbrick  Deleting accountDataDB erases your progress on any set of tasks you haven't completed.  So if you've finished week 2 and done a couple of week 3 tasks, you'd need to repeat the week 3 tasks but not anything from week 2.

        Having said that, the mail carrier not showing up at all is odd and not one of the usual Reaper event issues.  Does this happen in a new save with no mods or custom content?  Does it happen on a default EA lot in one of the base game worlds?  Even if you'd never play on one of these lots, or without mods or cc for that matter, it's a useful test.
