I too have experienced this, however I found if your sim increased any other skill the game would then somehow realize that your sim was already higher than level 8 of the any of the required skills. I show this in my Snowy Escape LP. My sim had maxed 2 of the 3 skills, but he was close to leveling up another skill (singing) so I had him level that up and it completed that part of the aspiration (though in my case if it hadn't, I would have had him level up the 3rd skill that was only level 7). I had noticed that with my other sims, but I caught it at this point https://youtu.be/CVqgmluWxVk?t=713 (links to the point in the video where the issue is shown, as well as the work around 🙂 )
So that is one work around you can try while waiting on a fix.
Best regards,

Nice catch, Jennifer!
It makes sense that whenever a skill level goes up the game does an all around dependencies check.
It wouldn't help my sim who has all skills maxed out, though. (Yes I know, I play in a very weird way)
So I tried this with another sim in that save, that has the same Extreme Sports problem but without all skills maxed.
First I let her level up the knitting skill when another aspiration is active. Only then I switched back to Extreme Sports aspiration - which remained unfinished. No real surprise there, but doesn't hurt to check.
Then I tried to up her comedy skill with Extreme Sports active.
It worked of-course! - aspiration complete.
Unfortunately, my supremely skilled sim will have to wait for the fix. (Unless I decide to get Paranormal stuff and use the medium skill to complete the aspiration)
But for now, this is probably a useful workaround for many other simmers.
Thanks, @MapleSimmer
@crinrict, I am guessing there's a good chance this workaround can be used for other aspirations with this bug?
I think I'll do an all around test - give a new sim all full skills with cheats and go through all (or at least some) aspirations.
It's possible this bug is all encompassing.
I'll report my findings.
Currently testing other aspirations that have skill levels as tasks. So far nothing. It's relatively quick for the first two levels of aspirations, but of-course will take much longer for levels 3 and 4.This could be crucial because as far as I remember, this bug didn't affect level 2 of Extreme Sports where level 3 of rock climbing was required. I might have to go back and check this.
Testing complete. The bug only exists on the final level of Extreme Sports aspiration. Added this to the bug report.
@MapleSimmer's workaround was marked as solution. I removed this, as the bug still exists and needs to be fixed.
@crinrict, is there a way to somehow mark the workaround for other simmers to find, but not have the bug overlooked?If not, I will edit my original bug report post to include the workaround.
I edited the original post to include the workaround instead.
