Reaper's Rewards: Wait for Newsletter Task Not Completing

I'll start with I play on PC and I don't use any mods. I started a new character for the event, a single female living in Willow Creek. I was able to do the event through the planting of the flowers and it told me I needed to 'wait for the Ambrosia Society Newsletter'.  It either never came or disappeared when I got the mail the next time it arrived. It isn't in my sim's inventory, and it isn't marked off as completed. 

I looked at some other players' experiences and some said you could 'reorder'  it from the mailbox, but that option isn't offered, nor is expediting my mail delivery. I also tried going to another lot and clicking their mailbox, using another sim save I had and seeing if it'd happen there, and starting a whole new game. I also 'repaired' my game. 

Again, I have no mods to uninstall or remove.  And, also interestingly, before this, when I clicked the Grim icon on the upper left, it opened up a quest window with steps, both completed and needed to complete, same as with any other quests (like tutorial ones). Now, all I have is this- 

Any help, including how to restart the quest line (I would assume rewards that are received wouldn't be repeated) would be very appreciated.

  • I moved houses and it finally worked have you tried moving? I don't cheat so I was just working my way through the options as they came about, and this one worked for me.

    This doesn't work in my game either. I am doing tasks or so I thought and nothing. 

    "Learn about Ambrosia" - actually making it did nothing.

  • I had the same problem in the game on my PS4.  So I started a second game. I built a basic sim and housed them. I then saved them to a new game instead of saving over my original game. Waited a few days and got the mail. It worked and gave the credit/points. I saved the game and went back to my original game, it still showed as counted for. Though you got to go out of your way and create a second game, it does fix the issue and work.

  • I'm having the same issue. Got the letter, read it, nothing happens. Quest doesn't complete. I even tried the starting a new save and doing it there, it didn't complete there either.

  • im on week4 and waiting on newsletter and nothing happens i turnoff my cheats and mods and repair nothing ?
