Please describe the patch or change you made. "Get Famous'"
My sim has created more than 20 music discs, but there are only 16 discs in the list of wages received. No new disc created above this number will be noticed by the game.

Do you get paid for only the 16 as well or could this be a display issue cause too many ?
I haven't tested this in my own game yet so I will tag it as needs input to gather more voices from others.
Good Luck

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make and release a bunch of songs and tracks for royalties
What happens when the bug occurs? You can't see all the songs you released once you create too many. The notification window isn't long enough.
What do you expect to see? The entire Royalty Report to include all of the released songs and tracks with their royalty amounts.

My Sim has created at least 2 or 3 songs beyond the Mayonnaise song shown in the image and released them to Dinky Beats. Plenty of time has gone by and she's received at least 2 or 3 royalty reports since the songs were created. So, they should definitely be showing up on her royalty reports by now. I'm using this for a Rags to Riches YouTube series where I've been tracking and graphing out her royalty progression to this point. Now, I can no longer do that because I can no longer see her new tracks in the Royalty Report. It's worth noting though that, based on her income, she is still definitely making the money for the songs I can't see on the report. So I think it's merely just a simple notification window size issue. Please fix quickly so my LP series doesn't get all screwed up. Thanks!

She absolutely got money for the new songs I can't see on the list, and a lot of it. I added up what was shown on the report vs what she got paid and there was more than a $1,500 difference.

Given how record labels want you pumping out music every other day this bug is easy to reproduce. I can confirm this. However it seems sometimes you do get paid for other tracks but it does not seem like the game properly follows and recognizes those tracks consistently (excluding the normal loss of value).

After thinking, I'm not sure if I received payment or not for these additional disks. This list was long and included not only payment for disks but for books and songs for guitar. I took it for granted that if there is no disk on the payment list, there is no money.

I was just wondering what the status is on this as it's been months since it was reported and it still hasn't been fixed. I see that it says "needs input." What does that mean? What type of input do you need to get this fixed?
March 2019
don't think more info as such is needed. QA will ask if they need more.
I don't know what the status of it is and EA/Maxis never gives out infos beyond we're aware of it.
What this mostly needs are more people saying it's an issue for them. Needs Input just means that more voices/me toos would be a good thing.
Good Luck
