Anytime my sim advertises, they lose an excessive amount of followers, way more than they currently have. For example, my sim would have around 300 followers before advertising, then the following would happen:
This happens with all 3 advertising options.

I had that happen too.
I think there might be another report for it but I can't find it.
Did you have that many or was it more than you had in the first place ?
Good Luck

I also notice that there's a difference between followers and fans.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.61.15.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions and game packs, Tiny House, Laundry Day, and My First Pet.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Using the Social Media Career, promote a massive product.
What happens when the bug occurs? If the advertisement is not accepted by fans, which happens most of the time, the sim will lose hundreds of thousands of followers even though they only have a few thousand, setting them back to zero followers no matter what their fame is or how far along they are in the Social Media career.
What do you expect to see? The sim to lose followers realistic to their follower count, not 700,000 if they only have 6,000. Since the Social Media career was fixed to disallow massive follower gains, then massive follower losses should also be brought to proportion.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
