PS4 Gallery shows incorrect number of followers?

So where someone follows, it says the number of followers I have but the followers tab doesn’t show the same number. Says I have 31 but the tab shows 24. At first I thought maybe some just deleted me but each time I gain a follower I’m noticing the number displayed in my tab stays at 24. I’ve been noticing this for over a week now.. I’m able to see the new followers ID but it seems to be deleting some of my existing followers. I’ve tried going to gallery website but don’t see the option to look at my followers. I restart my game every day, sometimes numerous times but it doesn’t help. Tried restoring license, rebuilding database, relinking EA account, deleting autosave.. Not sure what else to do! Guess I’ll have to add this to the long list of problems I’m having with this game.. It’s extremely frustrating the amount of issues and not one word from EA.. Do they even see anything on this forum or do they only respond on Twitter?

@VIKING5GRL The only thing I have "heard" (meaning I found no official report or documentation) is that it is a known issue that the Gallery shows an incorrect number of followers. What is listed in your tab is correct. Apparently no one reports the inflated incorrect number for ego reasons? No idea.
You could probably make a bug report on the bug forum to have an official report. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs

Lol, That’s why I was hesitant to report it when I first noticed. Apologies if I came across as having an Ego, it’s most definitely not what I intended. I’m not a great builder so I’m thankful for every “follow” I get no matter the number. There is an issue though, happened again last night.. Said I gained a follower and another existing follower disappeared., one that I speak to and know didn’t “unfollow”. This only happens when someone follows. I’m already sorry I started this topic, you can close it if you’d like. I’m definitely not going to make report about it.. Thanks for your help

@VIKING5GRL Apologies, I didn't mean you had an ego for asking about it. Since you were honestly asking why it said you had more followers than you do on your tab. I meant that it's a longstanding issue and the response was in line with "no one is going to complain their thing says they have more followers than they actually have."
So, it is an issue. It hasn't been officially reported as a bug even though it probably is. It's up to you to report it as a bug.
There's no shame in asking questions about your game and issues.
