Re: [WORKAROUND] [SE] Extreme Sports won't complete if skills already maxed out

I can't complete the Extreme sports enthusiast aspiration.

a sim is level 8 or above in skiing, snowboarding and climbing, it doesn't tick off the part of the aspiration.

none of the slopes tick of after completing in highest intensity (or any other intensity).

  • Having the same issue.

    Two sims with all three skills maxed out (skiing, snowboard, rock climbing), but it won't register so I can't complete the Extreme Sports aspiration.

    Removed mods and re-installed the game. No change.

    Tried completing another aspiration and returning to Extreme Sports. It didn't help either.

    @MetaSuperficial Did you have the skill maxed out before or after you go the aspiration ? Did you try cheating down to level 7 an d back up ?
  • Thanks @DonroaAkashu, but as far as I can tell, this is the only thread describing this specific issue.

    There were other issues with this aspiration, but those got fixed (it seems) as I was able to complete all other task in this aspiration.

    I guess there might be similar issues with other aspirations not registering existing skill levels, but I didn't find such in the list you provided.

    @MetaSuperficial I see. Then I think the bug forum is where you ought to post, and make a bug report for the issue, provided that the save has not seen CC or mods. I have yet to play that aspiration to the end, but I have seen posts elsewhere about it not fulfilling. If you make a bug report describing in detail what happens, it would make it easier to try to replicate, not just for players wanting to help, like in this thread, but also for the bug fixing team hired by EA.

  • @crinrict, I had it maxed out before, or possibly while completing the earlier aspiration levels.

    Cheating skill levels does work (tried it just now after reading your post), but I knew it would, and obviously I'd rather not use this method.

    Interestingly though, I tried it gradually, lowering the skiing skill level one by one, but only raising it again does the trick. Going down from 10 to 9 and 9 to 8 doesn't affect the aspiration, but going from 8 to 9 (without going down to 7) does register, so it seems that it only checks when the skill level goes up.

    @DonroaAkashu, my saves did contain CAS mods originally but I had mods disabled since one of the previous game updates and kept going without them. I suppose that still counts as a modded save.

    I might try to file a bug report though. But I wonder if I can merge it with this thread to avoid duplicate threads.

    @MetaSuperficial I can find no information about what the QA Team accepts when it comes to bug reports made on modded games. I have seen multiple bug reports made, where the mods have been removed though.

    Edit: to clarify: Bugs should always be reported on saves that are cc and mod-free; what I mean is that ideally the save should not have seen mods at all, but I have seen a lot of bug reports where the OP just removed the mods, and since there is no info from QA that I can find, on what should be done, I guess you can do that as well.

    You can at least link to this thread in the bug report free text field.

    @MetaSuperficial Sounds like the aspiration has an issue if you already have the skill maxed. There's a few aspirations that have this issue,

    It's best to create a new thread in the bug forum as this one doesn't use the template. Make sure to mention that you had your skill maxed out before the aspiration.
  • I am having this issue too, I had already reached max in all of the skills in snowy escape before starting this aspiration. Now it doesn't complete the task no matter what I do (other than cheating or backing up to a previous save).

    Would be really great if either of you could make a report in the bug forum.
