Reapers Reward problems week 3 and 4

Hello! Excuse my English if it's not the best, it's not my mother tongue.

I have a problem with starting with week 4 and end the week 3 tasks.

When week 3 came I played the game and did what I needed to do.  But when I would do the last task where you need to catch a fish something in my life came up and I couldn't play Sims for a few days until week 4 started. When I logged in nothing seemed strange but I quickly noticed that the little taskbar at the left was not showing like it did before. I couldn't see what I needed to do but I can still click on the reaper icon that shows there and it takes me in to where you can see how far you have come with the tasks and the achievements. But I thought maybe is a bug cause I hadn't started week 4 by reading the letter from Grim Reaper. I checked the email box but nothing, I saw my sim had a letter in their inventory so I clicked on read and so my sim did but nothing changed. I also tried to catch an angelfish and did, two times but nothing. I can't get the batfish nor can I end week 3 or start week 4.

I'm on a PC. I have mods, but I tried to delete them from my Sims 4 files, but that didn't help. I also tried to reset what you could reset in tips and tutorials (I read that it helped someone else with this similar issue), but unfortunately, it didn't help.

So I wonder if there is anyone else who has had the same or similar issue and has a solution or anyone else. Thanks in beforehand for reading this!

    I am on PS4 and deleted and reinstalled my game, then started a new save file and new game and I do not have a plumbob task menu. You are not alone in this. I am very frustrated. I was looking forward to this event and the new expansion pack...now I don't think I am going to buy the new pack. 

    I was on live stream when I realized I couldn't do the event.

    Mine is doing the same thing! Everything was dine until I caught the angelfish. And now I'm stuck there - tried rereading the book 100 times on multiple sims and nothing worked. Even went into a new game and cheated the skills and still nothing. I was so excited for this :( Would love to know if you end up finding a solution please!

    I'm stuck on this one, too. I read that I need to go to the library, but I don't have that world. I'm in Willow Creek. Where can I catch it there? Will I need the frog or a bass??

    This worked for me:
    "removing accountDataDB.package, in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4"
    I am now up to date with the challenge!
