Sims cannot change the branch, so after chosen The Master Chef branch in its career, this sims can never complete the goal "Join the Mixology Branch of the Culinary Career" in the "Master Mixologist" Aspirations, which means player cannot complete the Aspirations - "Master Mixologist"Its a Design Bug, please fix!

If it is indeed a design choice...it's pretty dumb. That goes against "play your way" if completionists can't complete one of the culinary aspirations.I hope it does get seriously looked at and fixed.

I thought there was an achievement for completing everything with one sim?? I only looked once though, because I'm not too interested in the achievements.

I'm currently playing a single Sim and my goal is to complete all aspirations with her. Are you saying that EA purposely designed Sims 4 so this cannot be done? If so, that's a little... weird. Why would EA design the game so that a single Sim can't complete all aspirations? To force us to play more than one character? I just don't see how that adds to the game, and it is frustrating to those of us who are playing as "completionists."

A single sim can complete all aspirations, just not any sim. Master mixologist sim can. Chef sim, can't.Maxis designed the game your one sim can go all careers but only one branch in each (unless you export/import sim in a new game).And I'm playing as completionist and I didn't find it frustrating, sorry. :)Instead of one "supersim" you'll now have two.

Unable to complete the Aspirations "Master Mixologist" if player chooses The Master Chef branch

Once you choose a career path you cannot go back and choose another path for that same career, its a known issue but whats not clear is if this was intentional or bug, so we don't know if its going to be fixed or not

I would say it was a design choice, not a bug, and I wouldn't be too expectant to see it changed honestly, not anytime in the near future anyhow, what with them staying on top of new content they promised and the confirmed broken stuff.

You didn't say if you tried, but did you try quitting the job first then rejoining?

Quitting and rejoining doesn't allow you to change branch, I think a while back a simstaff said that getting demoted below branch point and then getting promoted would work, but I also recall seeing other simmers say that didn't work.

I'm not sure how you figure "play it your way" = "do everything in game on one sim" Thats sort of like complaining that in sims 3 you only got one lifetime wish to me.

I'm just saying, some people(not me in particular) do everything on one sim, especially right now since the genetics are borked. And since aspirations are easily switched between(completed or not)...I don't see how that's complaining about a different game.

Edit: added stuff.

I didn't say you were complaining about a different game, I was comparing, in 3, you got one lifetime wish completed that was it. Now we have aspirations which not all of them are even related to careers. You CAN do MANY aspirations with many careers, its a step up from the previous game so I don't see how its so bad.
