sims 4 is a shrewd broken?

{Edit: Shrewd is a from Fabulously Wealthy Aspiration gave The Shrewd Reward Trait cause your sim will get 5% of household funds added to their total every week. (Noted I don't think if you had 2 or 3 sims had Shrewd Traits don't stack one after other, 5% is limited, I think. Edit:}

I hadn't see any income every week, used to be let me know family earn it if one had a shrewd everyweek on based of family fund long ago before pet stuffs come out but now I hadn't see for while after got all ep installed with latest patch, no mod, but very shame of vampire's issues. I happen got 1,000,000 won from lottery for just $100, that's awsome, never though winning lottery ingame but seem more of ep installed, more bug and game broken up, unfortunately.

If so,
Is there any work around those isuess? I did "Me too" on bug reports, but some are so old like since 2015 with no fix, along scientist career lab garden stuff, to 2019 vampire's issues and toddler with toy stucked, unable to sleep, eat, ect.

click "Me too" when Shrewd wasn't working weekly income on based of your household fund, 5%.

Did anyone had issues with Shrewd or it's just my game shrewd isn't working?

Not sure. It used to give me notifications about those incomes even when playing a different household. Now I don't see them, but the currently played household received it at least once. It feels like it works but totally out of any schedule and only for the played household. Haven't given it much attention to confirm tho.

I'm glad I'm not alone at least, but I don't ever got notifications of extra income weekly at all for many weeks. I can't keep track with fund as due career, bill, food, up and down quicker as chaos so hard to track for me whatever it's working or not workings. I wonder if latest patch or ep broken it?

Your probably going to have to just try to find a mod that will fix the issue. Since the Sims Team hasn't bothered to fix it, just like all the other issues that have been reported. There is probably a mod out that will fix it, since that is the MO for any team that works on the Sims. If there is a mod why fix it?

And then they break the mod each time a patch comes out. BTW, what is shrewd? Doesn't sound like you guys mean the dictionary definition.

I thought it was just me not noticing with all the other popups I get. I pretty much have all my sims do this aspiration at some point so they can sit home and collect and not have to work so much and I'm not getting notifications or interest all the time. Every now and I again I see it but not every week. Some of my sims go through broke periods and they could really use that interest to get back on their feet and it doesn't come. Something is definitely wrong with it. I'm not sure if it's not working at all but it seems to be sporadic now.

@Oldeseadogge, Shrewd is the reward trait you get from completing the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration. It adds 5% of your family finances as "interest." Or it's supposed to....

Thank you. Never played that aspiration. My, but they have a talent for breaking things.
