Aspiration progress resets with travel

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Русский язык
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.76.81.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? EP - all up to Eco Living; GP - Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Dine Out, Parenthood, Jungle Adventure, Strangerville; SP - Perfect Patio, Cool Kitchen, Movie Hangout, Romantic Garden, Back Yard, Bowling, Fitness, Laundry Day, Moschino, Tiny Living.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play for a multi-sim household and travel with a sim, leaving the rest at home.
What happens when the bug occurs? When you travel in a multi-sim household, those who have been left behind have their progress towards aspirations reset. For instance, if you were to leave the lot with sim A, with sim B staying at home and having made progress towards the goal of rehearsing acting 2 hours (completing 1/2) it will revert back to 0/2 after the sim has been left behind on a lot. This doesn't reset goals that have already been completed.
What do you expect to see? Aspirations progress tracks correctly.
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've had this bug for a while but assumed it was just a broken mod since I had gaps between playing, however, I have now reinstalled my entire game and tested it out with a few standard families in a new save, it's still there.

Many thanks!

    I travel quite a bit and what I notice is that the counters on a lot of the aspiration milestones will show zero when you get to a new location. But in reality, it's only a visual thing.  If you do something that would count and it increments, then the milestone counter resets itself to the correct value.  In other words, you don't lose the progress.  I also see it happen sometimes when I've made some progress on a milestone while I was traveling and it was showing zero when I got home.  But the same thing happens, just make a little bit more progress after you get home and it resets to the correct value.  Even if you don't make any progress, it will show correctly when you reload the household if you save and go to Manage Worlds or save and quit and then go back to the lot.  

    Hope this helps.
