soulmate aspiration glitch

How did you make your sims angry?! I'm stuck on the same thing but can't even figure out HOW to apologize!!!

I'm having the same issue as you Cassy, and I've also tried every which way possible to no avail. No fun.

I'm actually having a problem with the second section. No matter how many variations I try, I cannot clear the requirement for being married to your bff. My Sims have max friendship and romance bars, but it still doesn't work.

so overall my game is playing great, no real problems or major glitches...

however-my female sim has the soulmate aspiration. I've completed the first two sections of it, and am now on the 3rd part. I'm suppose to apologize to my spouse while angry. I've done it about 20 times now, and it still says it's not completed. I've tried it with the female sim mad at her husband and him apologizing to her, with her apologizing to him. nothing. I've tried it with my male sim as the angry one, and had him apologize to his wife, had her apologize to him. nothing. I've had it where they're both angry and they've both apologized to one another. nothing. I even did the apologize with woohoo action. nothing.



I have a virgin game (no mods/cc)



so I'm wondering if it's a total glitch, or if maybe I'm just not doing something right...? either way, it's a bit frustrating.

I'm having the same problem! I've basically completed destroyed my sims' relationship by trying to complete this goal. I even thought that maybe I needed to apologize more than once for the same offensive conversation, but the option isn't coming up after the first time I apologize.

Hey folks - I've been messing around with this in game, and although it has been difficult at times I've been able to complete it. I'm going to have a chat with our designers about re-thinking if it's balanced properly; the intent certainly isn't for people to need to nearly destroy their relationship to complete this aspiration.

Try this...

For the Sim that's trying to complete the aspiration, pick a Sim other than your spouse and do Mean socials on them until your own Sim turns angry from the conversation. Now, have your Sim do a single Mean social on their spouse, and then immediately apologize afterwards. The aspiration should complete at that point. Your spouse shouldn't have to do anything, and it shouldn't matter what emotion they're currently in. Hope that helps!

This actually worked. I had to findangle with this a lot more than I would have liked but at least I got it done. I had the spouse that wanted to complete the aspiration be mean to some random person outside her house. They fought, and she declared the person an enemy. Took a nap for her dazed moodlet to go away (because she lost the fight) and the angry moodlet to take hold. Yelled at my spouse, then smooth apology, completed aspiration.

Fighting is nice because it fills up the hate meter between the two sims quick, and then it allows you to declare someone an enemy. I couldn't get the other sim to make my sim angry, I had to declare the other sim an enemy and it always make my sim angry when I do that. My problem was, and you may encounter it, my sim was always winning the fights and gaining confidence boosts that would outweigh her anger. Just hold off on the declaration of anger for an hour after you fight (just keep doin mean stuff to the sim you fought for an hour) so you have a one hour window where your sim isn't confident while angry.

Like I said, a little over complicated and forced but at least it's all done.

If you become confident it's a glitch and wish to skip it, sims.complete_current_milestone will complete your current set of goals.

I've noticed it's incredibly hard to become angry if you're an evil sim (If you do manage it, it will only last a few minutes) so if you use: sims.add_buff Social_Angry

to trigger the anger.

I think the biggest obstacle to this is if you have a nice house. Your sims will have too many positive moodlets (Happy) to actually be made angry.

Here's how I got past that:

1) Get Charisma level 4 or higher. (This unlocks "smooth apology" which seems to appear more consistently than "apologise")
2) Take your sims outside, where there are no nice things and wait for any positive moodlets to wear off.
3) Have the spouse make your sim angry (should be easy with a couple of "mean" interactions).
4) Have your sim retaliate so both sims are angry. (not sure if both sims need to be angry, but I did this when I succeeded so it's here for info).
5) Use the "smooth apology" social (it was in the context menu for me so I'm not exactly sure where it was).
6) Make your sims play nice again to repair their once perfect relationship.

I hated doing this to my sims, but that's how it's done.

I am having the same problem. While I doubt that its impossible. I would definitely say its broken to some degree. I did as others said, made the opposite spouse mad through conversations with other random sims and done one mean interaction with the sim trying to achieve the goal. I don't know if it was because the spouse sim was VERY angry or if it simply did not work. I will have to keep trying.

This is something that needs to be fixed.

I was having such trouble with this! My sims pretty much had no love for each other left I was trying to get them to apologize and nothing was working. Hopefully this method works because I'm tired of spending my sims freetime yelling at each other.

Thanks for the tip
