[OPEN] [GRO] Midlife crisis tasks not showing in Aspiration panel

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.98.127.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Island Living, Get Famous, Eco Lifestyle, Cottage Living, Seasons, Growing Together, Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Dream Home Decorator, Fitness Pack, Parenthood, Toddler stuff, Backyard stuff, Kids room stuff, Romantic Garden, Perfect Patio, Nifty Knitting
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I am not sure how often it occurs - I have only just encountered it so selected 'Occasionally' above, but my situation matches those in this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-and-Mod-CC-Issues/Midlife-crisis-checklist-not-visible-during-midlife-crisis/td-p/12408923/page/2 I couldn't find any other logged bug reports so have created this one.
What happens when the bug occurs? My Sim has a moodlet saying they have a midlife crisis and to refer to the Aspiration panel for more information. When I click on the Aspiration panel there is nothing additional.
What do you expect to see? Midlife crisis tasks in the Aspiration panel when the Sim has a midlife crisis moodlet.
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? Neutral/Not Sure

‌

Like other responses in the thread linked above, I play rotationally and just loaded up this household. I have played it once (possibly twice) since installing Growing Together, but don't remember whether I had received a notification of a midlife crisis when I last played this household. The moodlet is saying that the midlife crisis will last for 3 days, 19 hours, and 48 minutes. I haven't ever seen a moodlet before that told me to click on the Aspiration panel, and haven't ever seen additional midlife crisis tasks in the Aspiration panel.

It's happened on another of my households as well - the Sim has an Angry 'Why Me?' moodlet as well as the Tense moodlet for the midlife crisis, but nothing is showing up in the Aspiration panel. ☹️
Like the other household, the Sim was already in midlife crisis when I loaded the household.
Edited to add: I don't know if this information might be helpful, but the game is otherwise appearing to recognise that he's in the midlife crisis. I can gather from the Tense moodlet that he's wanting to do creative things, so got him to play guitar. Afterwards I got a notification saying 'In the midst of a midlife crisis, Makoa has decided Guitar is his thing and wants to do it more often".
Also, he'd only just aged up to Adulthood on the last day I'd played him (it's showing as having 41 days left until he's an Elder), but when I loaded the household it said there were 5 days and about 19 hours left of the midlife crisis.

@pineappleyness I’m having the same issue on Xbox, so no mods or cc. I do play rotationally as well. I played once after the last update ruined controls and the issue was still there. Do you know if it has fixed? I can’t bring myself to open the game with the controls the way they are now 😅

I'm also having this problem. Several sims have a moodlet for their midlife crises, but I don't see anything in their aspiration panle popping up.
It seems like this is another bug that happens to rotational players.
It's getting kind of frustrating to be overlooked so often when you play rotationally ☹️

I've the same issue and I'm a rotational player too (no cc or mods). I've been playing rotationally for years, and Growing together worked until this fall, but I don't know after which patch (or game added) thus issue started. I've all packs and kits, except Bantuu.
PS. I've not had any working midlife crisis in the last couple of weeks. Four sims have had the moodlets but not the checklist in my current save.
