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.

A note for people trying to test work-arounds: If you hover over the 'Have child complete aspiration' objective, it explains that only Child-level aspirations (Rambunctious Scamp, etc.) count. So, make sure that you're testing on a child aspiration.
Are these ten-level careers, or are they part time jobs? I've never known part time jobs to count toward that objective, whereas I've always had success when they completed a 10-level job.

Successful Lineage
"Have a Child Complete an Aspiration" still does not check off. Xbox one, all vanilla.
I just discovered this isn't working in my game either. (No mods/cc).
My teen Sim completed the Drama Llama aspiration and it didn't clear for his parent and then his child sister completed the Whiz Kid aspiration and it didn't clear either. 😢
I've been having the issue with the "Have a Child or Grandchild Reach the Top of a Career" aspiration. My kid has reached the top of 2 careers but it just won't register.
Were you ever able to move past the "Have a Child Complete an Aspiration" issue?
I’m glad it’s not just me that’s been having this issue. I’m trying to have my sim complete all the aspirations and this is one of the only ones I have left to do. Hopefully this can get fixed soon!
Same on mac. I can not complete Successful Lineage! I can not complete the aspiration off the list. "Have a Child Complete an Aspiration" weird that it still does not work 5 months later..
This is why I stop playing sims 4 or buy the new packs, I tried Supper sim challenge. didn't want to use any mods, but turned out a lot of bugs still there after over 10 years. It frustrated everytime you just started to enjoy the game, you ran into bugs. i couldn't complete a bunch of aspirations because of bugs. I have to download mod like UI cheat to complete it, but it's no longer fun when you do that. It is tiring and waste of money. This is might be the last message I wrote in sims 4 Forums. There are a lot more new games that are cheaper and have better quality than sims 4.
I am having this same issue :(
Same problem. I completed multiple child's aspirations and today completed one as a teen. I haven't gotten to the adult's point, but I am not sure it will work. I do choose mods, but it has never been a problem in my previous games.
