Exact same situation as Lauraboots. I got through the other steps in this aspiration just fine - the bug only started for me on the last step with "throw 15" and "attend 25" and "3 gold", which I reached a few days ago.
1. Change the active aspiration to any other no matter if you solved it or not (for example gardening)
2. Save the game.
3. Exit to desktop.
4. Start Sims 4 and press continue
5. Return the active aspiration back on party animal
The cause: update 10/1/2014 got the counter stuck if that aspiration (happens also with some other aspirations like renaissance sim) was active but still uncompleted on a sim prior to the patch.
