No goals during events

I started the Family Fortune scenario and one of the scenario tasks is to Throw a Dinner Party. I made sure to check the box enabling goals before setting it up, but there are still no goals once the event starts.

Not sure if it's related, but the last holiday my household should have celebrated didn't have a visible holiday UI, so holiday activities/traditions weren't visible either. After the holiday hours had passed, there weren't any post-holiday individual sim recap notifications like usual, either.

I encountered these things on 11/04/25, both during the active Family Fortune scenario.

    • could you give it a short test if it happens without scenarios too or if it's tied to that ?
    • Does the box just have a timer or does it have an empty white space ? Could you maybe post a pic ?
    • How did you set up the event ? Through calendar or phone ?
  • I figured some stuff out! The events will have goal tasks while in a scenario if a holiday isn't also scheduled for that day!

    When goal tasks aren't present during the event (such as when on the same day as a holiday), the countdown timer is still present, as is the segmented green achievement bar thing (where the silver or gold coin/medallion progresses as tasks are completed), but without any tasks to complete, the only thing that shows any activity during the event is the countdown timer. When the event ends without any tasks present, it doesn't count toward completing the dinner party task in the Family Fortune scenario.

    I didn't know you could set up events through the phone, so I used the calendar for this one.

    Everything above was performed while in an active scenario. I'll troubleshoot some more outside of a scenario in the next day or so!

    You can't have a goaled event while a holiday is going on. This is the message you get when you try to plan an event on a day that already has a holiday so I'm surprised you were able to check that box ?

    I'm unsure how scenarios work in connection with holidays.
