@kusurusu Hello! I believe all sims have an aspiration. They are assigned to game-generated NPCs. You can also create sims, give them an aspiration and then mark them as unplayed through Manage Worlds / Manage Households. However, unplayed sims will not usually autonomously attempt to complete the aspirations. Could you provide more detail about the task you mentioned and what it is you need to do exactly?
@kusurusu Okay. I don't know where the task came from or why the sims need to have the same aspiration but I do know that all sims, aged child or older have an aspiration. I only know of two ways to ascertain what a NPC's aspiration is; either play them or take them into CAS through manage worlds / manage households. Either way, you can use manage households to set them as unplayed again. If you really need an NPC's aspiration to match your own sim, you can check each NPC that your sim meets or you can use the cas.fulleditmode cheat, then take the sim to CAS and change their aspiration.
Edit: If you're okay with using cheats and have testingcheats on, you can shift+click a sim then choose Modify in CAS, without having to use Manage Households.
This doesn't make much sense. You say you run some kind of test to find out what your own sims aspiration is but somehow get the aspiration from an NPC sim. A couple questions. Why would you run such a test as you can directly see what your own sims current aspiration is and why is it even a requirement that you have the same aspiration and what does not work if they have the same aspiration?
It would probably help if you wrote what you are doing and what you expected the outcome would be.
Ah, yes that aspiration is bugged but not in the way you think. You can find more info about it here. [OPEN] [SD] Massages not counted toward Self Care aspiration - Answer HQ

You could have saved yourself some time if you from the start had mentioned what your problem was.
@kusurusu I'm not a mod'er so a lot of this is over my head. Since there is no current mechanism for learning a NPC's aspiration along with traits, I think it might be difficult. However, if you could pinpoint where aspirations reside in the code for any sim, I think it should be possible to write code that will extrapolate that information. I know @simvasion spent a lot of time looking at the code and fine tuning mods for the spa day aspirations. Hopefully, they don't mind me tagging them because they're probably in the best position to respond to your questions.
