Mail Carrier Glitched Out
So, doing this week's "Wait for Ambrosia newsletter thing" for the Reaper Rewards, I got this funny (and quest breaking) bug, where the mail carrier is standing in front of my mailbox and just keeps waving hello to it. I don't mind her saying hi to the mailbox, I also talk to objects but dude, it's been two long sim days already and she just doesn't drop the newsletter!!!

EDIT - Ordered the delivery two more times... Now there are 3 mail carriers by the mailbox peeing themselves and saying hello to it.

10/10

My female mail career just stood there for a while, but she did finally deliver the mail. I did not need to send for additional mail carriers.

Had the same issue earlier today, i just invited her in and talked a bit, then chose to send her home, next day mail was delivered fine.

Yes, my mail carrier just stood by the mailbox (I think after she delivered the mail), I, also, invited her in, and that solved the problem.

You guys. I had a laugh looking at all ur mail carriers' bugs.

I experienced a similar issue. But after seeing 1 mall carrier unable to reach a moved-many-times mailbox, I switched to a household, and it was fine.

Tried invite them in but nothing happened, then on other save the letter did came, but reading it didnt result in anything. Gonna give it a new try now

Do you have mods installed? Did you try disabling them to see if it fixes your mail bug?

Yes, before I get in this save I get all mods off (including the folders created inside Saves) and turn them off. It behaves the same way on other saves where I play with mods on too. Also tried switch for other mail boxes, change their place... nothing. Like others said above, it eventually worked.

Ditto! hope they fix it soon.... and the reapers quests, and the missing DLC

I haven't had this glitch, maybe try moving the mailbox, changing which mailbox you're using, and/or using the "testingcheats true" cheat to shift click on the mail person and use the "reset (debug) option? If you have cc or mods they might break or conflict with certain game features like this too

my mailcarrier appeared in my bathroom waving her arms, and flopping on the floor. I couldnt get her out . she wasnt invited in and yet presto in my bath! couldnt shower with the woman there, very odd lol

They already wrote on EA AHQ that they test a fix for this issue and it is planned to get released soon: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Reaper-s-Rewards-Newsletter-not-delivered-Mailman-stuck/td-p/14085214

For now it is recommended to use the base game mailbox "Ol' Rusty Mailbox".
