[RL] Want for Waltz/Afrobeats mislabeled as Alternative

This has happened with a couple different sims in a couple different saves with mods disabled from the start of the save. Sim has a want to listen to alternative music, turns on alternative music and listens to it, but the want is never satisfied. Wants to listen to other genres of music have been satisfied in at least one of those saves.

I have not seen this problem prior to Royalty and Legacy.

    I have this problem too. Vanilla game, new save to explore the new pack. The want says that they like Alternative music but they do not. The want is never satisfied when I try to fulfill it.

    EA_Solaire​ I think I've figured out what's going on with this. It's been Lady Beatrice Capp who's been getting the Want to Listen to Alternative Music because of liked music in my games, but when I actually look at what music she likes, she doesn't like Alternative, she likes Afrobeats and Waltz. For some reason the wrong Want is being displayed when she Wants to listen to one of those (haven't checked if listening to either Afrobeats or Waltz will actually satisfy the Want.)

    Addendum: Confirmed, had Beatrice have the Listen to Alternative Music want (without changing any of her liked music genres), and it was satisfied by listening to Afrobeats.

  • One of my sim's wants was "Listen to alternative music" due to liked music but my sim doesn't like alternative, my sim likes Waltz. I was confused and made my sim listen to Alternative anyways but the want wasn't fulfilled but when I made my sim listen to like music Waltz, the want was fulfilled. So there is a mislabeling where the want should of said, "Listen to Waltz".

    Could you please provide the following information

    - Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do. Please pick a thread tag for that.

    Vanilla test game. No mods. No CC. Mac.

    Oddly enough I have a test Sim who keeps  wanting to listen to Alternative music, but listening to Alternative music did not satisfy the "Want."

    Just now, I went back into my test game and checked. He actually likes Waltz music. 🤷‍♀️ I hadn't bothered to set him up with any Likes/Dislikes, so I must have agreed to his liking Waltz music.

    The same thing is happening to me. As far as I've been able to test it:

    • It affects households played before RL as well as newly created ones afterwards.
    •  It doesn't matter whether there's a preference, aversion, or neutral attitude towards Alternative
    • The desire to "listen to Alternative" doesn't occur once, but repeatedly
    • The desire is definitely not fulfilled by listening to Alternative
