Can't finish outdoor enthusiast aspiration with Never Weary trait
My Sim will just not sleep 6 hours in a tent. Any workaround? I'm frustrated!
Forum Discussion
I have just completed this aspiration myself with two of my sims and it was really difficult. I found three problems:- Firstly, it did not seem to work if the two sims slept in the tent together - one would get a point and the other would not. It seemed that I had to make them attempt the aspiration separately, and even on separate nights.
Secondly, ever since Cats & Dogs, I have had the problem where my sims tend to wake up every few hours, instead of sleeping right through the night. At first I thought the pets were waking them up, but it seems to happen even when there is no pet in the vicinity. Since six hours means six hours of continuous sleep, this is obviously a problem. I had to try repeatedly before I was lucky enough to have my sims sleep through. Making sure they were utterly exhausted beforehand and didn't need to pee or eat helped, and I also sat over the action queue to cancel out the recurrent urge to read the Wilderness Digest as soon as it appeared, as this would have caused them to wake up early.
And then the third problem - even when my sim slept through, the game did not always register the fact. I could swear that, on at least one occasion (because I watched her like a hawk), my sim slept uninterruptedly for more than six hours, but she still did not notch up a score for doing so. And at one point my male sim's score went back to zero for no apparent reason (he was on 5 at the time), but fortunately the game remembered his actual score, because he was able to complete the aspiration the following night. So it does seem that, apart from all the other difficulties, this aspiration could be bugged.
