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%.

The trait is not working for me either. There is hope, though. What I usually do is use the "rosebud" or "motherlode" cheats to give my sims what they would have earned through the shrewd reward trait. For example, two of my sims who live together both earned the shrewd reward trait. Since it entitles each sim to a weekly deposit of 5% of the household's cash assets, my household will earn a total of 10%. If my household has a total of 100,000 simoleons, I will use the "rosebud" cheat a total of ten times, which comes out to 10,000 simoleons, 10% of 100,000. Although, if my household has 500,000 saved, I would use the "motherlode" cheat once to deposit 50,000, 10% of 500,000. You will never get the exact amount, but it will work until EA fixes the issue.

Strange, I discovered that if you saved your sims after you get that rewards, then delete old world along your sims and start new game and import your saved sims move in new world, it's work on first week, on tuesday at noon after your first bills, but I'm not sure it's will work everyweek or will break later on, I'm not sure what is cause not working in first place.

I don't ever use mod, and it's don't work at all, unless I saved sims and start new world to reset that to work but it's won't work in old world where sims got it for some reasons.

I’m so sad about this, but glad I’m not the only one ?
