Aspiration Goals Not Checking Off

I have several different saves I'm playing and none of the aspirations are working at all. I have one sim with the City Native aspiration, one with the Island Native aspiration, and one with Strangerville Mystery aspiration. When I try to complete the tasks they aren't checked off. I don't know if its just a missing graphic or if the task completions aren't being recorded. Similarly for tasks that require multiple stages (ex. Talk about Strangerville with 5 sims) the count remains at zero no matter how many times I complete the tasks. I don't know if this is related, but this issue is also happening with the Freelancer career, which obviously makes the entire career unplayable. I do use mods, but I did turn them all off and made a brand new unmodded save and the problem still persisted. Does anyone know what's causing this? I just bought a lot of these packs at the summer sale and I would really like to play with them properly.
