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? 1.55.105.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything except laundry, spa day, and strangerville.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try to satisfy a skill gain whim.
What happens when the bug occurs? Since the patch on 9/5/2019, many whims are no longer registering as satisfied. Any whims related to gaining a skill are affected, as well as whims related to catching fish. There are many others that are not working any more, but those are some examples.
What do you expect to see? I expect that when I fulfill a Sim's whim, the whim is satisfied and a new whim is generated.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The most recent patch, on 9/5/2019. This problem has only been occurring since I installed that.

‌

Most whims not able to be satisfied since installing the most recent patch.  This includes every single skill gain whim I tried to satisfy, as well as others, such as the one to catch 3 fish (I caught fish after fish, and the whim still showed 0/3 fish caught).  I tried sending my Sim to many different lots in different neighborhoods and had the problem everywhere.

    I've been having multiple bugs since the patch. My whims will not complete if I have it pinned and once I get a new whim it will not change to a new one until I click the X. I also can't complete several of my aspiration check lists. Like reading 3 books for Nerd brain. I've read 6 books and only shows one read. Also odd jobs will only allow me to complete them if I do not have to go to a location. Like Sulani Beach to catch frogs, I will catch the frog at the waterfall but it won't show in my check list that I've completed it. Same with Freelancer job. Every time I complete a task it will not register.

      For everyone who is having this issue with whims there are two known workarounds for this so far. I use both of them in my game.
      1. When you travel to a new location, save your game, exit to Manage Worlds, then go back to play your family, the pinned whims will fulfill in the new location. The downside to this is that you will have to do this every time your sim travels to a new location.
      2. When you travel to a new location just delete your old whims and the new whims that spawn in the new location will fulfill. This was suggested by KATHYKINS (thank you so much!!!) I tested this- it does work. The downside is, that you can't pin any whims before you travel.
      Combining these two methods allows me to continue playing! I do hope they fix this soon!

        @justyniaok1 Thanks! It works for most whims, just a bit tedious! However, those whims to travel to another lot might not work. We still hope EA could fix this glitch ASAP.
