    @Ohgoshohgoodness If you do tasks while you have another aspiration, they don't complete. You have to do them while you have the aspiration.

    Sounds like that message is wrong.

    Do you have a screenshot of the message ?

    @crinrict don't have a screenshot, sorry. Tried recreating this bug, no success. Maybe it's because i usually do various aspirations throughout a long period of time. And no, it wasn't mistaken - i would switch from, say, Nerd brain to Curator and then complete aspiration goals related to Nerd brain and even though i have a different aspiration currently chosen, it still gave me satisfaction points for completing the other aspiration's goals. Then i'd switch to Nerd brain and see that these goals were indeed registered as completed.

    @Ohgoshohgoodness I don't think that should work. You do one aspiration at the time. It does depend on the tasks of course. Some task like reach level of something of course do fulfill when you switch to another aspiration.

    Which tasks was it for you ? At what point did you get the points ? while playing the other aspiration ?

    When trying to recreate you mean you didn't get the message anymore or it's completing now while doing another aspiration ?

    @crinrict the last time it happened, it happened like this: I played the Friend of the world aspiration for a long time, completed all goals but one: have 20 friends. I switched to a different aspiration (Curator), then got 20 friends, at which point the satisfaction points were given to me and the message about me completing the aspiration Friend of the world showed up, while the Curator aspiration was chosen. I went to check my simology bar and it didn't have the Beloved trait (reward for Friend of the world).

    This happened less than a week ago, don't remember precisely when. But before the most recent patch was released (the one written in original post).

    @crinrict This particular occasion, with the Friend of the world aspiration - yes. Haven't had mods installed on my game for several months now. And it was happening throughout those several months, with different aspirations.

    @Ohgoshohgoodness Weird. Hopefully others can chime in.

    I really don't think you should be able to fulfill aspirations steps while playing another aspiration.
