[FIXED] [DU] Contribute knowledge research archive machine not fulfilling

@medleytw300  There is no reason whatsoever preventing you from changing aspirations and returning to try again later.  The game allows that with no penalty.  I've also found that sometimes if you change aspirations after something like what you describe, when you come back it will be yellowed out and marked complete.  Not always, just sometimes.  I have noticed that beginning a few packs ago that many of the aspirations are really slow about giving credit.  It seems to depend on the sim too as some seem to get credit faster than others.  Also I noticed in my game sometimes the aspiration will complete on it's own and give you full credit if you've done everything else.  The one you are working on though takes time to complete as you have to finish university and get a job using your degree. 

Some aspirations will give you credit even if they are not the one you have currently assigned - like the 2nd tier one in the romantic aspiration where you have to have 3 first kisses.  For others you do have that be in the one currently assigned - like the knowledge aspiration to read 3 books.  If really differs between aspirations.

I have also read somewhere recently either here or at the main site that there is currently something going on with certain types of aspirations and it only affects certain sims.  I've got one of those and every time he does something that has a count, like the athletic milestone to exercise 10 hours, I get an LE and the counter does not increment.  No fix or workaround on that yet as far as I know. 

Edit:  Sorry I didn't notice that you were on XB1 when I replied.  I'm playing on a PC.  So you might be experiencing something a little different, but the aspiration system is the same on both as far as I know so what I have said should still be good.

@medleytw300 I tested this on PC and didn't have an issue fulfilling this.

Treating this as XB1 issue for now but if you could test another Sim, that'd be great. There's been a few aspiration issue that only happened to certain Sims and not to others (depending on Skills, traits, occultism)

Also:
- Is your Sim some kind of occult ?
- Was this the only task you had issues with ?

Also could you post your Sims 4 version number. Current for console is 1.21. I think for console you need to use the version cheat to find out what you have. No other option.

I am also having this problem, but on PC. I have done it several times and have received money but it doesn't count towards my aspiration. I don't have another sim to try it with, with the skills. I don't use any mods or cc. I have tried switching aspirations as well.

What skill did you contribute? Writing is currently missing from the objective requirement list.

Could anyone experiencing this issue possibly share a save file? We've been unable to reproduce thus far, it'd be a huge help. You can DM the link to me, thanks for the help!

I just had this happen on PS4 not too long ago. I took my sim (The premade Becca) to the library in Britechester to work on this part of her aspiration, and it didn't fulfill. I went into build mode and replaced the machines at the library with new ones and the knowledge counted afterwards.

This was the first time I tried using the library for this task, I usually just have a research machine on my sim's lot and haven't ever had an issue with the contribution not counting for the aspiration.

I know this thread is three years old at this point but I would like to state I was also unable to contribute knowledge using the writing skill, attempting multiple times.  It worked on first try wiht cooking after reading the suggestion here to try any other skill except writing.
