Sims 4 Outdoor Enthusiast Bug on PS5
Hi I’ve having issues with trying to complete the Outdoor Enthusiast Aspiration -
I’m currently on 3) Wilderness Explorer - I have everything else completed except Identify All Unidentified Plants 8/10.
The problem being is, I had bought cottage living and outdoor pack at the same time and I had decided to explore the cottage living map first and I had bought huckleberry’s and muckleberry’s from the market not thinking anything of it at the time and I planted them.
I then took a 2 year break from the game in 2022 because my PS4 would no longer run the game properly and so flash forward 2 years later to now 2024 I transferred my game to my PS5 and it works great now so I decided to work on the Outdoor Enthusiast Aspiration and I identified all unidentified plants but it’s keeping me at 8/10 and I really need help finding a way to possibly reverse it or reset it somehow because I’m playing my MAIN sim who’ve I’ve built YEARS worth of work into since the game actually came out and I’d hate to see this wasted from a simple bug.
Since technically I found and bought, then planted, the huckleberry and muckleberry so early on not realizing it could affect this aspiration because technically it’s “identified” by now and I am desperate to find some sort of loop it could be fixed.
Which brings me to my next point: I don’t not use cheats at all I’m not interested in doing that as a solution that’s seems frustrating to me if that makes sense.
One of the things I tried doing was ending the vacation and waiting for summer to come back again and go back on vacation to wait for all the plants to regrow again and it showed that the wild plants are still viewed as “unidentified” even though I had already done so and I did try it again for the hell of it and it doesn’t count because I already did so before. Confusing.
Conclusion, I just would like some advice or different ways that this could be solved because it’s disappointing that these packs have been out and still no fixes for bugs like these after years of them being out. It kinda has me feeling I wasted money for a game pack that I can’t even finish the aspiration for because of these problems, any help is appreciated, thank you so much!

- @Torror-Stricken I think it's worked in both places for me. It was quite random. I don't think the location itself was a factor, just the amount of harvestables I had. I think bigger stacks worked better and then in amongst those stacks suddenly I hit a batch that were unidentified.
I combined it with the Collector and Fishing Aspirations while I was on with it to keep collecting points...but importantly remembering to switch back to the Outdoor Enthusiast Aspiration when my harvestables reverted to unidentified.
