Soul's Journey Over too Quickly
Does anyone else have the issue that the Soul's Journey always ends too quickly, thus erasing their bucket list?
It seems to be connected to a few different things:
Finishing any small portion of any aspiration, hindering us from fulfilling aspirations as we always have.
Gaining skill-levels (maybe just hitting level 5?), which are gained too quickly and too easily anyhow.
Finishing things on your bucket-list, which I almost never have time to do.
Getting promoted at work - or is it just taking a new job? Promotions are harder now, or at least have been for me this time, which is good.
I am not even fulfilling aspirations like I used to, but the Soul's Journey keeps kicking up and kicking up. When it's done, your bucket list just disappears, making the bucket list basically useless. I'm sorry, but that's the truth. The bucket list contains things that you have to have level 10 handiness or level 10 mixology, or level 10 robotics.... Other than getting married or having a child. My gal wants neither. She does not want a family. Sometimes, you get something easier like woohoo with a werewolf or vampire....
I have already pointed this out in the past, right after the Life and Death pack were released. Sadly, EA does not appear to have done anything to fix this. Everything else about the Life and Death pack is so cool!!! The bucket list and Soul's Journey, however, give false hope. You hope your sim will get to do the things on their bucket list. The progression of the Soul's Journey being tied to too many things that make it progress too quickly make it difficult to actual do bucket list items. My sims end-up finishing the Soul's Journey half-way through their young adult years (on long life-span). I play the game to do a lot of things with my sims.
I hope EA will re-visit and re-design the Soul's Journey. All it would take is to make each progression equal 1/5th of a portion, instead of 1/2 or sometimes 1/3 of a portion. Or, make adjustments based on the life-spans. For a long life-span, it should take a lot longer to finish the Soul's Journey than it does for a short life-span.
