[LD] Ghost Historian: Make Contact with Edith Not Counting

My sim has made contact with Edith and built a “good friend” relationship with Edith, even gotten the mark of Edith, but the objective doesn’t show that it’s been completed.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By speaking to Edith without starting any of the Ghost Historian Aspiration
    What happens when the bug occurs? You cant compete the 'Make Contact with Edith' goal.
    What do you expect to see? I talk to Edith, the ghost historian aspiration goal of 'make contact to Edith; completes
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

    So I  bought the Life and Death pack and Lovestruck pack together and went to Ravenwood. I saw a ghost at a well which i later learned was called Edith and tried to talk to it and ended up making them have a negative view of my sim. I left the lot, decided to look at aspirations and chose Ghost historian. I managed to progress through the aspiration quite quickly but upon reaching 'make contact with Edith' it didn't clear so I made friends with Edith and got her Mark and it still hasn't cleared

  • SOLUTION: I followed advice from from another thread/issue and managed to work around.

    • Enable testing cheats in your game (ctrl+c, enter 'testingcheats on')
    • Shift-click the affected sim and remove them from your household
    • Shift-click and re-add them to the household
    • Interact with Edith again, 'Attempt to Communicate'

    My sim had high friendship with Edith from doing the Alice storyline previously and seemed to trigger the standard continuous-talk mode at first (or I'm just impatient) so I cancelled out and tried again. She then did her Edith-scream and the objective for Ghost Historian cleared. Friendship's still high also!

    Not a full solution but it works nicely. Huge thanks to @meganspisak, worked past two issues with one fix 🙂 

  • @chalquist I can't speak for chalquist but I know my sim lives in a different community. I haven't tried moving her to ravenwood yet. Her sister is still trying to do the stuff from the expansion before.
