[ARCHIVED] [PH] Super Parent: Cannot complete last milestone with non-bio child

Product: The Sims 4
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? 1.77.146.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make a family with a child and at least one adult who is not biologically related to the child (and also did not adopt the child through the adoption agency). Have the unrelated adult try to complete the super parent by raising this unrelated child. The final task of the aspiration (have a child with 3 positive character value traits) will fail to tick off when the child becomes a YA even when it has been achieved.
What happens when the bug occurs? The last task on the super parent aspiration is "have a child with 3 positive character value traits" and the game states that to do this the player must "have any household toddler, child or teen receive any 3 positive traits from character values upon aging up to a young adult". But this task does not tick off unless the child is the biological child of the sim with the aspiration. I have tried to complete this aspiration with the stepfather of a child who was marked as his care dependent from when she was a toddler. Although she was a household child who aged up with 3 positive character value traits, this task on the aspiration did not complete for him. I tried to complete the aspiration again with a sim who was not the biological parent of a child in their household but who had lived in that household since before the child was conceived and had always had the child marked as a care dependent. She aged up to a YA with 3 positive character value traits. The last task on the super parent aspiration ticked off for her biological mother, but not for the sim who was not her biological parent.
What do you expect to see? I expect that the final task of the super parent aspiration will, as it claims, tick off when any household child ages up to a YA with 3 positive character value traits, whether or not that child is related to the sim with the aspiration.
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? No

Nothing further to add

Edit By Crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted Title to fit

    @urdecytctmlyI think that is normal in the family asperation because it goes by your family tree to determine if you are related or not, and than we your sim dies it breaks the family tree and you can have them get married again to save it, but as long as you don't send your ghost sim to neither world the game can't delete them.

    Edit: You need to adopt the child has a teen when they are young adults it is too late.

  • On Xbox One, it didn't allow us the aspiration while having a kid with the 3 traits. Have most dlc but no other mods.

    Hey all,

    Just checking in to see if anyone is still seeing this on a modless game as we've been unable to reproduce it on our end.

    If so please share your save file with us (instructions: http://x.ea.com/74420) so we can take a look.

    Thanks!

  • I have a mom who had a child with a dad outside the household.  For story telling, I wanted Kyle Kyleson who asked to come stay with her to fall in love with her and adopt the child as his own.  When he adopts as care dependent though, it doesn’t recognize it in the “become a parent” milestone of any of the family aspirations for him.
