The aspiration Successful Lineage goal "have a child complete an aspiration" won't check off. I thought it was because I finished one of the newer ones "Playtime Captain" so I also made sure to complete the old one "Rambunctious Scamp" but still it won't check off on his father's aspiration. I own all the packs released so far and I got no mod or cc.
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title
so this is a bug for aging on as well.
LadyAriancia offonaLARK itsmelonkat do you know anybody who is able to successfully complete the "have a child complete an aspiration" since after the date of this OG post, since after 2nd June 2025 (this bug is not fixed since 2nd June 2025)?
I have aging on. I typically do age up with a birthday cake so that the sims do not get sad moodlets, so all of my current children sims were aged up with a birthday cake as well even though aging is on. The adult sim who has this aspiration auto-aged from young adult to adult.
LadyAriancia here is another good tip: you can have playable sims aging turned on while non-playable sims aging turned off, so that your complicated world outside the lot is not affected by aging. As I said in the previous comment, once you moved into a lot where there is no other sim (you might want some starting furniture to complete a child aspiration, like the painting one is doable without going outside), the outside world and your main lot are not affected, because they are not loaded and all non-playable sims aging turned off. You can test that to see if "have a child complete aspiration" checks with the steps above in previous comment.
It's nice of you trying to help but as you don't know all the rules and systems I follow for my "overly complicated savefile" it's a bit bulldozy trying to work around them and expect me to put in all that extra time for a household I moved past 2 months ago. Making a tiny check for a few sims days didn't mess anything up, even if that forced me to abandon and steal days from the current household I was playing to do that check... I don't want to steal any more time from my current household.
You free to test the issue in your own game, if you got the time and desire to do so. I did my duty by reporting it, now it's up to the sims team to fix it, when they find the time and not creating more bugs that causes even major issues than this tiny one.
LadyAriancia here are steps to test to avoid "your overly complicated savefile":
When you are in the empty lot, your main house is not loaded, so you can avoid all the complicated issues related to aging.
That would totally mess up the structure in "my overly complicated savefile" and I'm not inspired enough to check it in a new save. Also as long as it doesn't work when I'm playing with aging off, when that is what I want to do, it's still a bug even if it works with aging on.
LadyAriancia have you try starting with a newborn baby from scratch, playing with aging on, complete one entire child aspiration, to see if "have a child complete aspiration" check?
Playing with aging off.
Tried now to play with aging on for a couple of sims days but it still won't check off as done.
Here is the update:
I have tested science baby and it doesn't work. I have my science baby child completed a child aspiration (Artistic Prodigy), and "have a child complete aspiration" in successful lineage is not checking.
LadyAriancia itsmelonkat offonaLARK do you have auto aging off or on?
Mine is all auto aging off, I manually age them with a birthday cake.
I am asking this just in case, due to surprisingly so few people knew this although this is a major important bug, although sometimes I think that the aging doesn't matter or doesn't effect this bug, maybe auto aging does effect this bug.
