In my short time in playing Sims 4, I've completed my fair share of aspirations, but there are a few aspirations I've never completed yet simply because it was a bit tough to reach. What are the toughest aspirations you think are hardest to complete? Yes, this includes all aspirations included apart from basegame as well.I think in my experience, the toughest aspiration I've found hardest to complete is Party Animal, simply because I can't seem to get Gold on some of the social events because I'm most likely missing something critical to reach it.

Grilled Cheese A Sim needs to eat three plates of Grilled Cheese in a row in order to unlock this Aspiration.Completing the AspirationLevel 1Talk about Grilled Cheese with 3 different SimsEat 10 Grilled CheeseLevel 2Eat 10 Grilled Cheese of Excellent qualityPrepare 3 group servings of Grilled CheeseTalk about Grilled Cheese with 5 different SimsLevel 3Eat Grilled Cheese in spacePrepare Grilled Cheese of Excellent qualityTalk to the Grim Reaper about Grilled CheeseRewardsSummon Grilled CheesePaint Grilled Cheese paintingsYou need to build the rocket to eat grilled cheese in space and somebody has to die if you want to talk to the grim reaper.

I guess it depends on what someone's definition of "tough" would be.I think overall, Successful Lineage is probably going to be the most challenging to do, especially for someone playing with aging on.Party Animal isn't really too hard, but it is tedious to throw all those social events.Friend of the Animals is extremely annoying if you aren't doing it casually.

Back in the days, it was Public Enemy.. there were few ways to kill a sim apart from old age. With the winter massacre that was going on lately, it was a breeze to complete. I dont really bother much in completing aspiration though. The party animal one is easy if you focus on completing the party tasks right away.

Mansion Baron seems particularly difficult for me to complete, what with the 30 columns that are needed. Most of my houses don't look good with all those unnecessary columns.

To be honest most of the time when I'm doing this aspiration I just enable moveobjects and stack all the necessary columns and windows on top of each other, then delete em'.

I just completed Party Animal for first time ever. It is not hard, but it is a grind. The thing is by the time your sim completes this aspiration, you are probably sick of throwing parties so the reward that comes with it (automatic Bronze level event, thus easier to get Silver/Gold) is rather meaningless because you probably don't want throw anymore parties for a while.

Still, could be useful in some legacies or challenges.

That's what I really dislike about some of these rewards.
Many of them give you some benefit to do what you have been doing the entire time to achieve the goals.
By that time, you don't really care to do the activities anymore.

Yea, but you just have to buy them to complete the goal.. you don't have to keep them.

I found collector really hard until Seasons. Now it's pretty easy to complete the decorative egg collection, so long as you place lots of plants on the lot that you can hunt for eggs in.

If you have City Living, the poster collection is really easy to complete. I've currently got a semi-legacy that's trying to complete all the collections -- I'm now three frogs away from finishing them (have completed posters, snow globes, geodes and gardening).

For me the hardest are the Deviance aspirations only because I don't really like playing Sims who are Mean or even overly mischievous. Since my secondary goal for the semi-legacy is to finish all the careers (hoth tracks) I'll have to have a few deviant Sims somewhere in the family tree.

I've always found doing Party Animal to be such a hassle, needing to throw all these social events all the time and needing all the right items to be able to reach gold on them; it's not like the sims that have this aspiration can afford to have everything for a party! Plus I rarely throw events anyway because of the fact they're such a pain at all. It's simply just not my kind of aspiration to complete I guess, and I leave it uncompleted and avoid it. Honestly I find the ones involving a dying Sim easier.

Right now is easy to complete because Holidays counts as gold events if you complete all the traditions, at least until they notice it because I'm not sure this is by design

Renaissance Sim Ia also a hard one to achieve.

I kinda figured as much. I just often don't have a use for this aspiration either. Suppose I should try to incorporate it into my gameplay more. Thanks for the tip.

Huh - that's one that I think is one of the easiest, especially if your Sim got all the star toddler and child rewards (they start out at level 3 in a career, so you can literally have them take a job, quit it before they even work a day, and then take another job).

There are some aspirations I never try, because my Sims don't socialise. The outdoors aspiration is difficult, since you can't get beyond the first level without spending a good week in Granite Falls. The collector can be frustrating, because it seems as though the game spites you - you're getting crystals when you need frogs, or frogs when you need crystals. Usually, unless I'm playing a household dedicated to collecting stuff, I save those aspirations until they've already completed others and have more satisfaction points than they can use.

Some aspirations are long-range, so you have to switch back at the right times to complete them. The successful lineage would take an entire lifetime. Gardening is a bit more difficult with the new evolve schedule. However, I've noticed that you can cheat a bit (and this works for the collector aspiration, too) by moving items in and out of your Sims' inventories. (I generally don't do this on purpose, since I like the challenge of completing aspirations the hard way, but I've had it happen when I've transferred stuff for one reason or another.)

I don't find "Artistic Prodigy" to be too bad. Sometimes the "Play with 3 Toys" can be tricky, and I have to keep track of which drawings the kid does when it comes to "complete all the drawings" sub aspiration to ensure they don't do the same one twice by mistake, but apart from that it's not too terrible.

An easy way to keep track of the drawings is to have the child put them in their inventory, just open the stack to see which drawings have been completed.

Yes, I finally figured this one out. I kept forgetting what drawings they'd done. For the toys, the 'Slide the Plank' (not 'play') on the pirate ship jungle gym always works, and so does moulding something out of clay. I haven't found a third toy that works consistently - my Sim kids have got credit for playing on the monkey bars, playing with toys in the toy box, and playing with the giant stuffed animals, but not always. Also, the game refused to give my kid credit for playing on a jungle gym while 'playful' with the pirate ship - I had to have her play on the spaceship jungle gym.
