Re: [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.
