nature soundscape channel

here we are.. in august and i still can't get past the nature soundscape channel quest. i've tried everything, reset, repair, buying all of the stereos, erasing cache, renaming sims folder, debug.. i 'm sure there's at least 3 more that i can't remember now. and yes i did claim the reward. is anyone still stuck there? it sucks because no matter how many new sims i've tried, no matter how many attempts, it just doesn't work. anyone, anyone? any advice?
