[NEEDS INPUT] "Publish 10 books" milestone counts inproperly

[ Edited ]
★★★★★ Guide

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Русский язык
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.59.73.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Reach Novelest Novelist stage of the Bestselling Author aspiration, try to publish 10 books
What happens when the bug occurs? Of the 3 means of publishing books only one works, despite there are no limitations in the requirments
What do you expect to see? Either the should be requirements to publish books in a certain way, or every way of publishing must count.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

As the description says it -  either the should be requirements to publish books in a certain way, or every way of publishing must count. I lost several of my books before i figured out wich way to publish is correct.

@rostsit And which one is working ?

 

Found this in the old collection thread: Milestone 3: Novelest Novelist - Publish 10 Books: Submit book copy to literary digest doesn't count so that one seems to be known.

@crinrict You can merge the threads, I didn't manage to found the one you've mentioned. But in my case, both submit to literary and publish by oneself don't work, only submit to publisher counts.

@rostsit No, the old one is archived as it was a collection thread. It's good to have a fresh one.

@Tanyanadin747 Do other other published books count properly ? Is it just self-published ?

 

Going to merge this with existing thread.

All published books.

I have tried every option.

I have also tried writing a book in one sitting and mailing it out right away and still won't work.

 

I know you have to wait 1 sim week before you can submit another, but ive raised a family snd still cant get my 2nd published book to register

@Tanyanadin747 Could you test another Sim to see if it's Sim related or a general issue ?

I have tested this with:

Multiple new saved files

Newly created sims

Already created townies moved into the family lot

Uninstall and reinstall game and all packs.

 

This has been ongoing for at least a year and half minimum 

 

Thanks!!
