Soul's Journey Ended Pre-Maturely Emptying Bucket List + All 3 Unfinished Items
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Newest - it auto-updates
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I created a sim. I played the sim for about 4 weeks in-game time on long life span. Go to the jungle was on her bucket list. I took her on vacation, got a house, went to the marketplace, then went to the park and entered the jungle.
What happens when the bug occurs? The item did not tick-off of her bucket list. She entered the temple area, and suddenly her soul's journey was finished, and the bucket list just disappeared. The other three items on the list were never fulfilled. Now, I cannot do anything else with the bucket list.
What do you expect to see? I expect the Soul's Journey to take longer than a mere 4 weeks in-game time. She wasn't even an adult yet. She had barely completed (I assume that item was finally checked off) one item on her bucket list. I expect the bucket list to be available regardless of anything else, until she actually finishes all 4 items on that list. Her soul's journey should also never be complete until she completes her bucket list.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
The bucket list has only 4 items. It should have 6. The sims should have to complete all items, even if it is only 4, before their soul's journey can possibly be completed.
My sim barely completed one item, and the game removed her bucket list claiming that her soul's journey was fulfilled in her early young-adult years after about 4 weeks in-game play-time with a long life-span and the bonuses (two) from the crypts that extended her life-span.
Have I tested with other sims?
No.
If I get around to it, I will do that. I will not do it to test the game. I am not being paid to test the game.
Sorry. I never understand why that is offensive. I work to earn money. I paid nearly 1000€ all total for this game and all of its packs.
I'm letting you know that you have an issue. You can choose to explore it or just leave players frustrated by it. I feel extremely unfulfilled by this issue. It has left a bad taste in my mouth for the Life and Death pack, sadly.
I'm very sad about this happening, because I had been hugely enjoying the content, after having to mod to stop alien abductions and make the knitting work again, and having to move the bearskin rugs away from fireplaces with the fireguard trait on them. I will never be playing this game again unmodded. There are still too many bugs or game-designs that ruin my game-play experience. Seven alien abductions in a 5 hour game-play session is excessive and beyond annoying. After I added Love-Struck, there was a casual-romance group in the conversation choices. After adding Life and Death, that is now gone.
Please re-think your game design. No one's soul's journey should be complete before they have finished all bucket list items.
