ear buds
why doesn't listening to music on earbuds count towards an aspiration of listening to music?? does anyone know.

- It's the same as how listening to wall stereos doesn't count either. It has to be either a floor stereo or one you can set on a table or like it.
- Just took a quick loot at it myself in-game... it seems to be working fine. Make sure when you use the Earbuds that you're selecting "Listen To" instead of "Turn On". Also, if you pick "Listen To" and then cancel the interaction, the music will continue to play, but the Sim will not be actively listening to it, so it won't count towards the aspiration then. Only having "Listen To" in the Sim's action queue will count towards the aspiration's progress.

I've similar issue, my Sim listens and dances with the ear buds but my "Fun Meter" still decays and not rising. Like the game did not recognize my sim is having fun. Yes I click the "Listen..." option. Still doesn't work.- I thought it did, it worked for me couple of weeks ago.
- It's never worked for me either. It's a good question.
- You know I gave up trying to understand their logic a long time ago. In all of games of the series there have been things like this in one way or another that just don't make sense to me.
- I chose listen to classic, she stood a while listening then went off to paint on her own. still listening to the music. but her aspiration didn't go up. It wasn't until in the temple and listening to the floor music boxes that after an hour it went up.
maybe her painting cancelled the listening, although she still had it in her queue.
