Not really sure if it's a bug, since I have always only got 12 followers from posting an image to social media, even with the social media career that came with City Living and that's been that way for years.

Even higher strength social media commands like livestreaming give exactly the same amounts every time with no variation - e.g. livestream = 700,000 new followers every time with no variation.

So I am not surprised posting an image to simstagram is treated the same.

It would be nice if there was some variation, and scaling up depending on fame level or reputation.

Will add as unsure. Not sure if it's a bug either.

I get 15 IIRC but always the same number too.

If this is how it was intentionally implemented then why is there an achievement for gaining 25 followers, 250 followers and 1500 followers .. I'd assume this is for a single post as my sim has 8,806 followers total and the only achievement I've received is the 25 followers. My last post via computer says I gained 50 followers but via my phone it was 12 followers. It doesn't matter what I post I never make the next achievement.

 

Also; have no mods or CC's and I have all packs.

@MumzieO That achievement came with pet. Can you try if it works if you simstagram pets ?
