Hello,
The Social Media careers don't earn money for Streaming Let's Play games like the Tech Guru Gamers do for Livestreaming games. That is because the Tech Guru Gamer earns fans and the Social Media careers earns followers.
The action tuning loot_Simoleon_Livestream_Default determines the payout on statistic_Object_Computer_Videogaming_FanCount and there is a career test that excludes Social Media career, so I copied and pasted those lines and changed the references to payout on statistic_Object_Computer_SocialNetwork_Followers and changed the career test to exclude Tech Guru career.
I also wanted to reduce the amounts paid out in the Social Media career because they build millions of followers more easily than Tech Gurus build fans and I thought professional gamers would earn more than simtubers. I did this by changing the default amounts in lower and upper bound from 50-100 to 5-30 (lines 239 and 240).
It seems to work ok in my game but I would appreciate if someone could take a look and tell me if it is ok, or if there is a problem with it. I have no idea what the values in lines 8 & 9 are so am not sure if this will break something.

In case anyone asks why I don't just remove the social media career test exclusion for the fan count payout, social media careers are excluded from building fan counts in each individual game file and also in sub-files to each game. Way too many files to edit.
edit: I have no idea why this code keeps appearing at the bottom of my post.
Thank you orangemittens, I was surprised to see I did have smartvideo.
