Hello,
For anyone encountering this issue (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

Thank you.
I've done the Fair 3 times trying to win something (with Pies) My pie is always the best, at the end the fair just ends and there's no warning or placement. The pies disappear with the stand and don't appear in the inventory. I have mods, but I can take them out and try without. I just did a full reset of the game and repair through the EAapp.
I am having this issue. It really feels lke a bug, but it was originally reported 3 years ago... so not a lot of hope that it will be fixed at this point. I don't have any mods, have all of the expansions and a lot of other packs (don't want to list them all right now - but can if this is actually considered being fixed!). It's unfortunate that I can never complete that aspiration. Tried for my sim's entire life, entering the fair every week. Never won - the best I did was place 3rd.
I have won this many times, but it seems like some competitions are harder than others to win. You can try bribing the judge, but here are some combinations that seem to work more than others. If you know who the mayor is, become best friends with them BEFORE the Fair. Ideally, arrive at the Finchwick Fair as soon as it starts and place your entry. I suggest doing only 1 entry at a time if you want the aspiration completed. Try not to interact with the Mayor unless you're bribing them. If they don't go around and judge your entry, then you might not get anything. Stay the whole time until after the fair disappears and it gives you the reward close to midnight.
1. Oversized crop competition: Any large crop as long as it's in perfect condition. I've even won with medium and small ones that are perfect quality, but I would choose the largest one you have.
2. Chicken Fair: Evil Chicken, but it has to be a rooster, not a hen. You can sometimes win with a golden rooster, but evil one has a pop up when it ages up that says it's the best for the fair. Maxing your relationship with it won't hurt and make sure to keep the coop clean and the rooster fed so it's a young adult and very happy.
3. Egg Competition: Obsidian or Golden egg in Excellent condition. This one is hard because eggs spoil, but if you put it in your household inventory, that completely stops the timer on it.
4. Wool Competition: Excellent rainbow wool. This may vary though. I've had it not win.
5. Garden Competition: Perfect quality death flower.
6. Pie Competition: Cannot get anything to win no matter what even with a cow plant essence pie. Bribe the judge and have good charisma, mischief and debate maybe? Be in a very confident mood.
7. Llama competition: Very happy, young adult llama with max relationship to the sim submitting the competition. Feeding it a rainbow treat might help. This one is a toss up and doesn't always work.
8. Cow competition: Very happy, young adult cow with max relationship to the sim submitting the competition. Feeding it a rainbow treat might help. This one is also a toss up.
9. Milk: I'm guessing excellent rainbow milk, but I haven't tried this yet.
The steps provided are not guaranteed to achieve 1st Place. I just entered a 47kg perfect quality oversized watermelon into the crops competition, against a normal quality small watermelon and an excellent quality oversized lettuce. Before the end of the competition, both the competitors had spoiled (there was a teen hanging around them pouring something on them but I have no idea what it was). I diverted the teen away from my watermelon successfully, and STILL PLACED 2ND. I really don't understand how they're being ranked and judged. Did not interact with the mayor once, mayor judged my watermelon and had heart emoji. I only play with UI Cheats Extension and MCCC installed to manage bugs or alter pregnancy length for long lifespan. This bug has been around for years.
