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

That's just your choice. If you want to complete every single aspiration on one Sim, then you need to plan it, for example you'd need to choose Comedian rather than Entertainer too or Joke Star would be impossible. TS4 is about you making choices, that's not a design flaw. If you wanted to complete the Mixology aspiration, why did you choose Chef? You can complete the Chef aspiration by choosing Mixologist career, so you had no reason to pick it if you cared about the aspirations.

Because the game says you can, Switch at anytime without losing progress. Even an achievement to complete all Aspirations with one Sim under the achievements for players. Because the game says you can.....

same problem here. x

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.

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'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.

I never said it was bad, I said that if it is a design choice, it's dumb. It's annoying when someone wants to do something that should be possible, but is limited; Like with the culinary aspirations. Mixology and Cooking go hand in hand, so it's dumb that we have to lvl cooking and Mixology again for the same career til the branch off.
For other careers it *kinda* makes sense...but they aren't really involved in aspirations like these two branches are. That is why I say it's dumb.

I thought this too...so I'll look later, unless someone else can confirm this?

Not a bug, Sims 4 is designed NOT to solo.
If you want to solo, install Sims 3 (although some puzzles in world adventures need two sims).

The content of the link in my sig claim the opposite.
