Bucketlist goal: spend the day outside

Hi everyone!

I've been playing with the Life and Death pack and just got the bucket list goal to spend the day outside. My sim lives in Henford-on-Bagley so I took her to the park/forest lot there and stayed there for 24 sim hours. It did not complete the goal. What should I have done instead? Did it not work because my sim slept in a tent; is that not "outside" enough? Or is just glitched for me?

Has anyone seen anything weird with this particular goal?

Thanks! :)

  • I spent days on this bucket list item and nothing was working. Finally I dragged my toilet, sink, and fridge out on the yard so my sim wouldn't even go in to go to the bathroom, and it finally checked off. Apparently if your sim goes indoors for a pee break, you spent some time indoors? lol 

  • I was able to complete it with a sim who lived in San Myshuno. He traveled to Moonwood Mill and there the library. I kept him off lot all day and the goal checked after 18 hours or so. So some of the time he spent on the lot must have counted, too, I think?

    I didn't use the local public toilet for fear that would count as being indoors, but the pond is handy for the bladder need, there is a grill for hunger and a bench by the playground for napping. 

  • I have that goal too on my list, and as you, live in Henford-on-Bagley, also spent an entire day outside there but it didn't complete. I'm thinking maybe it needs to be a base game world? Or maybe Granite Falls since the trait to love outdoors comes from that pack (if I remember correctly) I'm gonna keep testing later.

    I spent the full 24 hours at the park in oasis springs, even slept on a bench but it still didn't complete it for me ๐Ÿ˜”

    I have a similar issue but with going for a run. No matter how long my Sim spends running around a park, the objective just doesn't complete. Maybe it has to be a specific park...

  • I don't own this pack yet, but I read somewhere that a sim might have a certain way to achieve a goal on that list. If I understood it correctly, in the panel where you see the Aspiration, there should be some info on the next(?) goal as well as how the sim would like to solve it. Perhaps a certain world or lot is mentioned there for the outdoor thing?  Try pointing cursor at the icons.

    Same thing is happening for me, but for 2 bucket list goals. One was spend a day in Willow Creek and specifically says to meet locals and have a good time. I did as requested and it did not get checked off. Another bucket list goals says to host 5 parties. I hosted 1 party so far and it didn't get checked. Don't know what to do ... EA help!!

  • Oh no!? is this bucket list option specific to L&Dpack or is it base ?

      It comes with Life & Death. It's a fun idea but not always exactly straightforward, and you might have to redo the bucket list before the goals fit your Sim's personality.

        alr tysm. I was just wondering if its attached to that pack so i dont have to look for a way to opt-out of it for when i update eventually 

  • I spent days with my Sim camping outside. Interestingly, his whim to spend 8 hours outside checked off, but his bucket list did not.
