My sims are stii able, but it very rare. At least  you can write a song to get famous)) dont even try it with paintings, they are completely broken....I tried to substitute the "song" buff into "painting" it works as indended unless you wrote a song while painting))) but the paintings are broken at their core ...I checked this with "test_mod", where every nominatin chance was 100% and it  it worked everywhere, but not the paintings you made. But once I have been nominated sellin the painting the guest made and it was low-skilled child drawing that should not be by design, you can not earn fame selling others pictures, but somehow you can) digging deeper into the code - the "object_criteria" seems to not work as intended

My writer Sim wrote two bestsellers last night, but she’s completed the aspiration AND has creative visionary.

@RASMUS_MASSIE 

FWIW she also completed at least two masterpiece paintings.

🤷🏻‍♀️

She’s not fresh out of CAS, though. She’s actually the first Sim I ever created back in 2017, although I imported her into a new save (with all her skills) probably a year ago. I don’t know if that makes a difference.

The sim has loyal, family-oriented, romantic, handy, expressionistic, piper, angler's tranquility, never weary, naturalist, companion and alluring.  My other sim that didn't have a problem writing a bestseller had these exact same traits except for expressionistic at the time.  The sim I am having trouble with had written one bestseller before they started working on the last milestone of the best selling author aspiration where they actually need to write 3 bestsellers.  Since then I have tried everything to get them to write a bestseller to no avail.
