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

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 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 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.

I don't understand, and I'm being sincere about this. 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.

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.

Not really.
Your sim wants to be a master mixologist.
Makes sense to have the right career.

Thanks for the clarification, @JoxerTM22. I wish that they did allow a single Sim to complete all possible career branches, and I'm not sure why they limited it because it doesn't seem to serve a purpose. I do find it frustrating, and since this game has already been so frustrating for me it's just one more thing to shrug about.

Okay, that's why a lot of people are complaining about the repetitive tasks -- you have to do the same things over and over with different Sims at least until you get up to the level where you switch, or have two Sims in the household doing the same things at the same time if, say you want both the deluxe kitchen and the bar. That gets pretty tedious after a while. (Guess that's what I'll have my Sim couple doing once he ages up and moves in with his boyfriend; they're going to have the ultimate party pad.)

It sort of does make sense if you think about it. They start out leaning both food and drinks and then at a certain point they have to choose, bartender or chef? You could go through life and become a master chef then retire and decide to be a bartender but it's probably not very likely.

So this doesn't work for any career? We can't complete both branches of any career? Joxer, didn't you say that you could complete mixology first and then complete chef, but just not the other way around?

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!

It's not a bug. Why would anyone think it'd be a bug?
