[Admin - added a spoiler tag to clean this up a bit]

[crinrict]

@Alejandrogqh Looks similar to the others posted. I don't believe there's a solution to this.

EA will need to fix the bug

[Alejandrogqh]

Ok,, probably it´s related with the mod of MCC...

Thanks!

[HobbesJaap]

Just wanted to add my 2 cents... getting the exact same bug. Only running MCC mod to catch these properly. The sim involved is not occult (has never been occult) but has done some Nature Documentaries. No other mods are active. For some reason on the forum this topic is now marked as "Solved" though the error seems to still be there?

I have been having the same problem with my human sim.

[elyeett]

My mermaid sims never receive royalties from books or anything else, and my normal sims can. What happens is for example if they publish a book, the royalties will never pop up and it is almost like the book never existed. This also happens with nature documentaries and songs.

@elyeett  It is a reported bug. The SimGurus are asking for saves, so if you want to help fix it you could send yours. See the post marked as solution:

[crinrict]

@elyeett I'm curious, do you own the Get Famous pack ?

Just wondering if Mermaids are still more bugged then royalties for other Sims.

Merged your post with the bug report.

[xochiquetzl_xkvn]

I use MCCC and my mermaid conservationists who live in Newcrest and San Myshuno and "commute in" receive royalties for their documentaries just fine.  I wonder if it's something to do with Sulani.  I should try it with my mermaid conservationist in Sulani and let you know.

[Edit to add...]

This is my mermaid conservationist (a Conservation Manager) who lives in San Myshuno.  (Yeah, that's Paka'a.)

This is my mermaid conservationist (a Marine Biologist) from another save who lives in Sulani.

So, iI don't think it's MCCC. 

Paka'a in San Myshuno is the only mermaid in a large household, and other Sims are also getting royalties.  Rhiannon in Sulani is a member of a two person mermaid household (sisters) but the only one who gets royalties (her sister is a painter). I don't know if that makes a difference...

[elyeett]

@crinrict Sorry I took so long to reply, no I do not have Get Famous and royalties still work for normal sims.
