  • I am also having this issue. I am trying the Public Enemy aspiration. My sim was already level 7 in the career but it is not recognizing the reach level 4 task.

    I noticed today that I won a duel with a spellcaster and it didn't update my aspiration. Attached is a screenshot where I got the Moodlet, but not the advancement on my aspiration.

    I am running a fresh install on a new machine. No mods or CC. All packs.

  • I have a problem with tasks not registering as well. I'm trying to complete Angling Ace 'Hooked', 'Fish for 10 total hours'. My sim has been stuck at 9/10 hours fished ever since I moved him from the base game world into the apartment world. I moved him into the penthouse. I've fished for far longer than 10 hours, I've maxed the fishing skill and almost completed the collection. I've tried a few things, saving and exiting, traveling between neighborhoods, taking a vacation to Granite Falls, and eventually (after I play in the area a bit more) I plan to move him out of apartments and see if moving again unsticks him. I completed the other tasks in the 'Hooked' list before I moved the sim, so I don't know whether it's just the one task that's stuck, or the whole aspiration

  • i've had this glitch a long time. I use a cheat to complete the stage so when i know i've done it.

    If anyone else still has this issue with the duelling goal like I do... I found the way around it is to be the challenger and then win. Accepting another Sims challenge doesn't unlock the aspiration for me. Sometimes it doesn't unlock at the duelling grounds either but it does by duelling in the street.

    On the issue of aspirations not fulfilling, I also have this with Cottage Living. I purchased 2 llamas but the aspiration goal still didn't register. It's also always got stuck on mansion baron. It says I have no windows most times. I have to add the windows again a few times in build mode. On City Living, giving a house key to a friend doesn't unlock, only apartment keys and there is a house in the city but if you live there you can't complete that goal. On Xbox series S so can't share saves.

    Please describe: I been having issues with the "Good Vampre" Aspiration for my whole household. Even on Caleb the premade sims. It will not complete the "Do not Drink Deeply" one shows for 5 days (which on Calebs will not complete) And on my own sims will not get passed "Go 14 days with out Drinking Deeply" I had it at 13, got the newest update and it went back to 0 and now it dont count past 0. All my kids cant complete that aspiration or anyone in my household (even when they move out) I have been having issues with this one no matter if I make a new account an start over or not. Also the Secret Grilled Cheese Aspiration. When you have the Store trait "Stove and Grill Master" and the aspiration says make 10 Excellent Grilled Cheese. I can only get "Impeccable" and it doesn't count toward the aspiration either. So those 2 Aspirations I have restarted new games for and no matter what they always can NOT be completed. Can you please fix!

    Going to archive this thread as there was a general issue that doesn't seem to occur anymore.

    If anyone has issues with a certain aspiration, please create ONE thread per aspiration you have issues with.

    Check the compiled list first if there's already a thread.
