When did the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration change?

I've been watching an old (2014/2015) James Turner Rags to Riches Lets Play (think his very first?) and his sim, Duke Silver, is doing the Painter Extraordinaire aspiration. Two of the tasks were "have 25 pictures on display" and "view or admire 30 pcs of art." I don't remember having those the times I did that aspiration so just checked and they're not listed as tasks anymore. Does anyone remember when the aspiration was changed? Am just curious is all.

ETA: added sims name
  • Anybody remember the Writer aspiration requiring the sim to go into Writer's block? It was so random, some players got it easily, others kept trying and trying, but had no luck. Also sims immune to Tenseness from the "Carefree" reward trait would probably never even get Writer's block (it being a tense moodlet).
  • I remember that too, now that you mention it! I can understand why the these aspirations were changed. Like how random it was to get writer's block, or it being unlikely your Public Enemy sim would be in an angry mood after doing mean interactions because doing mean things made them happy.

    Ah yes, the pre-career patch times...

    One thing I remember is that having a teen get an A in high school was easier than having a child get an A in grade school on normal lifespan. The reason was because to get to the A, the child had to:
    • Go to school energized.
    • Do 2 extra credit homework
    • Have all four childhood skills at level 4.


    Ah, and astronauts required 4 friends at one point to get a promotion.


    Plus I feel like before, Public Enemy aspiration didn't require your sim to witness a death, but of course, if I'm incorrect, do correct me.
