How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)

My sims is in the social media career in the internet personality branch. I've gotten well over 4000 influence points just live streaming a video game for a few hours and 0 simoleans.

This was an intended design change, to give influence instead of money. However, the amount of influence you were receiving was way too much, which has been fixed in today's new patch Standard smile

I see this on PS5 as well. My live streaming sim has thousands of influence from a few live streams.

Just saw this in my game last night. My goodness, 4 influence points every couple of seconds was a wild ride. I cancelled that livestream pretty darn quickly after noticing how fast and furious those points were coming.  I have NPC voting turned off and absolutely no NAPs active in any world so I don't have a need for a gazillion influence points, lol.  Even if I did need points, the rate at which they are awarded for livestreaming sure seems excessive. 

 

My sim is at the top of the eSports branch of the Tech Guru career. Play on PC; English; all content released to date installed; game version 1.71.86.1020 and have never used mods/cc. Neglected to take pic but appears there are several in the thread already.

Thanks

 

Adding the notes for completion sake

 


Sims enrolled in the Social Media career will now gain influence at the end of their
stream instead of every few Sim-minutes.

 

Good Luck
