The Sims 4 Postcard Collecting Guide
Postcards List, Pen Pals, and Hints for Finding Rares
>Postcards may be collected by finding Pen Pals on the Computer and requesting them. Simply go to the Socialize menu on the Computer, then Find a Pen Pal. After several hours, check for responses. You may get a Pen Pal from Bridgeport, Sunset Valley, or other locale. Then, write to that Pen Pal. After a short time, you can ask for a Postcard from that location. You may have a number of Pen Pals at once, and it may take several tries asking for a Postcard to get one in the mail (especially for the Rares). When displayed in the home and with auras enabled, these can make Sims Inspired. They are thus perfect for Writers, Artists and Chefs to have in their respective work areas. Postcard corkboard may be purchased that will allow you to organize these on the wall, and with all 14 you will get an Inspired +2 Aura in that work area.
See the Collecting Guide for general tips to finding these and other Collections in The Sims 4.

Not sure why but I only able to get 13 postcards I request another penpal but keep getting no reply this has been since 3 patches ago I have tried repairing game but doesn't help. Is this a bug since patch..
I couldn't see any bug reports so chances are you've simply missed asking for a specific postcard from the penpals. Run through the list above to see which one you are missing and see if that option is available on your sims pc.
This exact situation is happening to me. I keep asking for a pen pal and instead of the usual "waiting on reply's" it continues to allow me the function of asking for a pen pal. Dragon Valley is the last one and I don't think it can be had from the pen pal function. Maybe like someone else said, it can be found through rummaging or exploring? I can't find anything online.
Same here! The "Find a Pen Pal" is infinite on the last one and for me, I am stuck with not getting Isla Paradiso. It's the only one that I'm missing and I cannot get the check for replies interaction anymore, so I am completely stuck and have no clue how to get out of this loop

A Deeper Game
The past month, I've spent every day tinkering The Sims 4, making quality of life improvements, gameplay changes, and new difficulty settings for the game. If you'd like to learn more about my project, visit the post on Patreon where you can download it now.
I have much more to come, since you can actually write a few guides about this pack!
Calling all Blender Users
Blender has been incredibly useful in video production, so I made my own Physics and Simulation Improvement Addon that lumps a ton of unique tools into one compact interface.
Sims 4 Snowy Escape
The Sims 4 Snowy Escape launches November 13, 2020 and my coverage has started. Until I get my review ready, you can learn about the following:
There is a new platform tool in The Sims 4. There's also a new Sentiments system, but it'll take some time to create a guide to that. Players can also use rental lots in any world now by changing lot types of builds in manage worlds.
Best Mods in Sims 4
I've created a massive List of The Best Mods in The Sims 4 that should be very helpful to new players and those who have not yet explored modding and how much it can do for your gameplay.
Readers who use adblock or those who'd like to thank me for my efforts can now pledge $1/$5 monthly via Patreon. This helps a lot with server costs and provides some stability for my business.
I now have a guide page to Tiny Living Stuff where you can learn about Murphy Beds, the new death, as well as the lot bonuses you'll receive if you manage to keep the size of your lot down with this new pack's Tiny Home Lot Type.
Let's Play Playlist
New I now have a guide to Making Super Sims in The Sims 4. Look for a text version within the next 72h. It won't have THAT much more info but it will help out as a checklist.
This was inspired by a series, "Let's Play a Super Sim" in which I start at toddler and gradually take on the major bonuses. Here's a link to each part for people who are interested. You can also see the Let's Play as a Playlist on Youtube.
The Sims 4 Discover University has been announced for November 15 for PC/Mac and December 17 for Xbox and Playstation 4 consoles. Click to learn more about the pack, see my summary of the livestream or read our FAQs below.

How do you know when your pen pal has replied to your letter?
Get your Sim to check on the PC/laptop
If you have seasons the bees can sometimes bring you Postcards. I have gotten 2 of them that way.
There are 7 additional postcards that come with My First Pet.
