[NEEDS INPUT] [IL] Mermaid Sims don’t get royalties

[KaraDM]

I have this same problem.  I play on a computer and my mermaid sim doesn't receive royalties for the nature documentary they sold.  I use some CC and a few mods.

I feel bad double posting basically but there is no edit button.  I just wanted so say I can provide the save where this bug is happening and also wanted to post the latest LE I got because of it.

@KaraDM The edit button can be found when clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner of the post.

[KaraDM]

Okay thanks that's good to know.

I hadn't played my broken save in a while, but I wanted to chime in again to say that the sim that was bugged (Nalani, the NPC mermaid that comes with Island Living) was killed and revived via ambrosia, and as soon as I added her back to the household post-mortem, I got the same exact LE again:

I think this bug has now expanded to non occult sims.  I am getting LE's for it in a save where I don't play with mermaids at all.  I don't know if that requires a new thread or not.  I can start a new one though if it does.

Until then here is the LE I get.

@KaraDM Do you play any other occult ?

[recar2]

Hi

I have a problem with the royalties on written books. The books are disappearing from the royalties list, not specific to Literary Digest as this was unavailable for the first 5-6 books written. It depletes by one each time the royalty is paid. Is this a bug or is there a new book limit I'm not aware of?

[crinrict]

@recar2 Is your Sim some kind of Occult and are you getting any LastExceptions ?

[KaraDM]

@crinrict No not in the save the LE happened in.  It came from a non occult sim licensing a nature documentary.  I only have played mermaids in another save where I had the same issue.
