[NEEDS SAVES] [GF] Fame not progressing

[ Edited ]
★★★★★ Apprentice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Nederlands
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.69.57
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except Journey to Batuu and Snowy Escape
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play with a sim that allready genrated fame before the november patch. This bug exists in my game since then. Hadn't updated to the november patch since last week and then i noticed the bug.
What happens when the bug occurs? Not only can we not toggle fame options but my existing sim, allready famous and on the treshold of B-Star isn't gaining any fame. The progress bar is not moving forward anymore.
What do you expect to see? I want her to gain fame and the progress bar moving forward
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. November 10 patch but only noticed it last week because i patched the game last week. At first i thouht it was because of the not toggle fame bug.

I did the following to try to repair it:  I removed all my mods and deleted the localthumb package. Restarted the game. Played for 24 sim hours. Bug still there. I tried an older save. Did not help. Yesterday i repaired the game (unfortunately it updated to the latest patch when i did the game repair)  and tested for 24 simhours trying everything that would add fame. No luck. The progress bar is not moving. At his point i don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to lose my save again for the umpteenth time and start a new game.

@MzMelonz Going to merge this with the other report of fame not progressing.

Is it only for artists for you ?

Good Luck

@crinrictThank you! So far, it does appear to be the case that it is only for artists. However, others who I play with fame have slower progressive tasks, so I am not able to say. I hope this makes sense.

@crinrict @MzMelonz  My sim is not an artist but is earning fame by posting on instagram and making video's with the videostation. But no matter what actions i take, not even singing kareoke for example makes my sim gain any fame any more. Like i said in my original post. So it seems that not only artists have the problem.

I had an Artist that couldn't progress further than a 2-star Celebrity. 

 

But What I decide was go on the Computer and Create a Social Media Profile, after then progress kicked in and things were moving up too fast. lol.

I'm still having this problem with two sims in the same household, one as a comedian and the other as a singer. 

I have "sims begin opted out of fame to begin with" enabled in pack settings. 

I got both my sims to "step into the spotlight"

Their fame points remain stuck at 0 no matter how many fame point interactions they do.
