Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.62.67.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats and Dogs, City Living, Discover University, Get To Work, Get Together, Seasons, Dine Out, Jungle Adventure, Outdoor Retreat, Parenthood, Vampires, Backyard Stuff, Laundry Day Stuff, Movie Handout Stuff, Perfect Patio Stuff, Romantic Garden Stuff, Vintage Glamour Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm trying to complete the Successful Lineage aspiration. I'm on level 4 where I need to mentor a child 3 times, have a child/grandchild top a career etc etc
What happens when the bug occurs? When I complete a mentor a child action through "mentor" (e.g. violin), "encourage" (e.g. artwork table), or help with homework, my progress does not go up under the "Mentor a Child 3 times" goal. I tried with multiple children and multiple ways of mentoring. I came back to the game a real life day later and the progress had been completed. However, I then moved a now aged up child sim out of my household and into another one and now all my progress on that level of the aspiration has been lost.
What do you expect to see? Completing a "mentor" action (mentor/encourage/help with homework) will count towards the "mentor a child 3 times" aspiration goal. Additionally the goals will not reset when Sims are moved out of a household.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
I'm trying to complete the Successful Lineage Aspiration. However on level 4, my progress for "mentor a child 3 times" doesn't go up when I mentor a child. It did eventually reset, but then I moved a (different) sim out of my household and all progress on that level of the aspiration was lost.
Edit: I logged off the game and logged back in to get my version number for above. I went back into my household and the "mentor a child 3 times" goal was completed. I then went to the trash/treasure festival (I can't recall what it's actually called), played there for a bit and then came back home. The "mentor a child 3 times" goal now said it still needed to be completed.
There's now several similar reports such as this one:

Is this the only aspiration you have this issue with ?

@crinrict, I recently deleted all Mods and CCs from my game as they were slowing it right down and the lag was getting unplayable.
I haven't seen any "LastExceptions" alerts since removing them about 2 weeks ago.
This is the only aspiration I'm having issues with.
