First day using Sims 4 seasons. Got my kid to get the first scout badge on a retail lot. It said I got a Scout guide book or manual. No book in family inventory, on ground, or in child's inventory.
Question: Is there a secondary way to get the book? How necessary is the book, should I load an older save file for it? Is this a bug or something else?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Fixed an issue in which rewards from the Scout after school activity were not being awarded properly.
○ The reward will now appear in the Sims’ Inventory, instead of being unlocked in Build Mode.
Fixed in Patch 1.58.63
Good Luck

I had to go to kids section in build/buy to get it. That was after I got the message my Sim earned it. I don't think the trophies appeared either.

Hiya!
It's not in the inventory but in every bookshelf after you reached the first level of the career.

You're right about the trophies. They're not showing up. That can't be right.

Hi everyone,
Have you checked the family inventory for the manual and trophies? are they purchasable in the build/buy mode?
Cheers!

I added a 'me too' as I had the same thing happen, no manual or trophy, and I did look in my family inventory. I did see the option to buy the scout manual so I did, but by the time I noticed it, my sims had reached the top of the 'career' so I'm not sure if it's meant to do anything.
Best regards,
Jennifer

I never get the trophies or the books... But the book is buyable. I'm not sure about the throphy though. If the notification says that I get something for a career then I would except to find it in one of the inventories just like with adult careers.

I was able to buy the manual in buy mode. I checked al inventories and it was not there. I have not seen a trophy.

I had to buy the manual and the bronze trophy that my child Sim just earned in Build/Buy. I checked the family inventory and every bookshelf on the lot. No scouting manual or trophy.
