    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    Is anyone else having an issue receiving the approved pictures in the mail? My sim had one say it was approved the day after she sent it, still had a couple days before it was due and still had not received her picture in the mail to post it to simstagram by 2 hours before it was due. I have had to cancel 2 gigs because this has happened twice already. The only one she has been able to complete is the one where the Style Influencer has to meet with her and such. Am I doing something wrong?

      I haven’t had this happen, but I’m finding the way the personal inventory stacks the pictures to be an issue. Is there some kind of book or something so we could see what pic is what before we submit it?

      I'm not sure, so far I take them out while paused sort thru them and fix the frame and filter of one at a time (using the outside wall of her house lol she doesn't have much wall space left) and then put the one in inventory and send it. She got a few rejections but then one of a celeb got approved, but never received it back so she could post it

      It's a bug, https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/WORKAROUND-MSP-Fashion-Photographer-Don-t-get-approved-pics-back/td-p/8112538 so far I have only gotten Landscape photos delivered back to the mailbox.

      After a couple of days check your household inventory, I've found a few have been sent there instead of the mailbox.

      I just made a new character to try and I will be sure to check there too if I do not receive one back in the mail

      I thought this was only affecting apartments. Anyway, when I moved my Sim to a house it worked for me.
    • smurfy77smurfy77 Posts: 1,250 Member
      Not sure, my sims have lived in houses, I have not had any of them live in an apartment

      My sim is an apt and I’m having the same issue with the approved pictures not coming back.

      Also looks like the only way to sort thru pics is to put them on a wall and go from there. But that digital frame can help, I’m
      taking any pics I don’t plan on submitting and add it to that frame so there is less in my sims inventory.

      Eventually he’ll move into a house with a studio attached and have room to display everything but right now he’s a starving artist. Quite literally if he can’t get paid for gigs! I hope they fix this soon.

      I had remade a new sim to try this on, and it did in fact come to his household inventory, I was able to take it out and put on the wall long enough to grab for his inventory and post it to simstagram! Thank you for the help on that, it was really frustrating, I am just glad it worked

      Anyone having problems with getting the work task, "get photo approved" to work ? I got the notification my pictures were approved, and this task wont complete.

      I am. I have gotten the photos approved before and then the task doesn't complete. Which is why Im not going to use the photographer career until they announce a fix.

      I just bought Moschino, like a week ago? It was the only pack I didn't own yet. How long ago did they "fix" it? @comicsforlife

      I am not getting a notice to submit my photos for approval.
    • ocrush1987ocrush1987 Posts: 3 New Member
      I also played mine last night, and this is not fixed. Now the tasks won't complete at all for getting photo approved or posting the pics to fashion simstagram. Ugh very frustrating. I tried repairing my games, and still doesn't work.

      I never used to have problems with the photography career until the 9/5 update. I used the new fence & stair railing as well as the new configurable stairs feature & now tasks either won't complete or they all complete but I don't get paid & gig doesn't close out.

      Going to test which, if any, of the three mentioned is causing the problem. Also, only mods I have are MCCC & UI cheats. May be a day or two before I can check but I'll let you know.
