Re: [OPEN] [V] 'Don't drink without permission' not count

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Danish
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%) 
What is your current game version number? 1.76.81.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Journey to Batuu. As for kits, I only have Bust the Dust.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try to complete Good Vampire aspiration and switch to another aspiration when in the second level.
What happens when the bug occurs? I can't get past "Don't drink deeply for 5 days in a row". When I got to the second level of this aspiration the counter made it to 4/5. I had been switching between the vampire aspirations without problems, but suddenly my switch somehow reset the counter. And now it won't count. I'm stuck. 
What do you expect to see? Counter should work and after 5 days I should be at the next level of the aspiration.
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.

This sucks. It's only the second time I'm playing with a vampire in this game and I'm stuck. The first time I played as a vampire I only did the Good Vampire aspiration and had absolutely no problems. This time I wanted to do all of them at the same time. I've tried repairing the game, but it still doesn't work. I'm really hoping for a fix.

    Same here. "Don't drink" aspiration goals get stuck when switching aspirations. I'm on console so I'm not interested in cheats that disable achievements. EA PLEASE FIX THIS! DON'T IGNORE IT ANY LONGER PLEASE. This issue has been around too long and we shouldn't be expected to keep using cheats to fix it. Or at least find a workaround that doesn't use cheats.

    According to the link you sent me I can't send Xbox One save files to you only screenshots and videos. Even if I was familiar with making videos on Xbox I'm not sure what I would even send. Have my characters wait around for a full sim day doing nothing and see how the "don't drink deeply" task doesn't fill in that time? I don't have the patience for that and it wouldn't tell you anything you don't already know. Aside from my word it wouldn't even count as proof that the issue is ongoing since the video could have been recorded anytime in the last few years. Since it wouldn't be a save file how would you be able to view the actual underlying programming behind the issue? Are you expecting me to use my nonexistent programming and video making skills to showcase it for you? What exactly is the point of all that and how would it help you with this? I know I can sound unhelpful but these are serious questions I have. To use a medical metaphor I don't want to be given a series of tests without assurances that I won't just be given a placebo.

    I'm stuck on this Aspiration as well, up to Cope with Temptation stage and not receiving any completion for Don't drink deeply for 5 days ( stuck at 0/5 )

    To be clear I do not drink from Sims, I only drink Plasma packs, Plasma Jane's and Plasma fruit, the only time i've drunk deeply from a Sim was the below attempt to reset a counter for this bugged aspiration.

    I have tried to following things ;

    - Deleted download cache

    - exited and loaded game

    - reset computer and restarted game

    - changed aspirations and completed another aspiration fully then switched back

    - stayed at another location for multiple days

    - drank deeply from a Sim in an attempt to "reset" a counter

    I hope you can make something work, I honestly don't hold out much hope as my time spent on these forums looking for answers to problems like this show minimal to no attempt from EA to fix game problems, but please prove me wrong and thank you if you bother.

    Matt. ( Drarcuul )

    Tried to attach the save file from onedrive but it was claimed to be an unsupported extension type ?

    Edit: - Have no mods installed and No cheats used.
