This has been going on since or before Dec 15th. That is when I noticed it and reached out to EA support for assistance.

Hi, it appears that the shrewd trait is not working properly for you. That's no good. I would like to help correct that issue with you. I'm thinking since that trait is not working after being equipped on your Sim that there could be some file corruption either within the save, the game, or the console. Let's try clearing some cache and other things before moving on to the big stuff.

RESTORE LICENSES

1. In the main menu XMB, using the controller scroll right to the Settings.
2. Select the option for PlayStation™Network/Account Management.
3. Choose Restore Licenses.
4. Select Restore.

Restore default settings-

Hey there, Ashlee, apologies for the delayed response. I know it can be frustrating when game doesn't work as intended. Aside from the steps already suggested, the only other real thing you can try would be to uninstall the game and try downloading again. We're a bit limited when it comes to the games on console, unfortunately. If you cannot get it to work properly, you can definitely report this as a bug in our forums: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/My-Bug-Report-Sims-4/td-p/4980665

Please reach back out if you need help with any other issue. -Jeff

I've since uninstalled and reinstalled the game but is has not resolved my issue.

Sims with the Shrewd reward trait weren’t as shrewd as they thought they were. We have restored their shrewd’ness and they should now actually receive the money they so rightfully shrewded away at the end of each week.

Fixed In Patch 1.22

@KnightSniperX This was fixed for PC/Mac already so hopefully console folks will get a fix on the next console patch
