Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Ask an alien sim to complete the first steps of the beach life aspiration

What do you expect to see? I expect to see one of the steps already completed because of the alien's skin strange properties

I understand that alien sims don't tan. But the Beach Life Aspiration cannot be completed by those sims. So I suggest that the step about tanning should already be completed for Alien Sims. This way, we could move on to the next task.

@2hCreations: To me, this is most likely an oversight. It's possible for aliens, mermaids, and (I assume?) spellcasters to be given vampire Aspirations, too.

 

Also, I don't have Realm of Magic, but I'm now assuming that aliens, vampires, and mermaids can also assume spellcaster-related Aspirations, too.

 

EDIT: Some additional info that EuphorialQueen has told me since I last posted this:

 

"The game may randomly assign aspirations to Sim who cannot complete them. Hybrids are not intended from everything I have read. Occults can only complete aspiration goals pertaining to their particular state."

I have the same problem with my alien. He can't suntan either. How is he supposed to be a "normal" member of society & assimilate to human culture if he is described against just for the blue color of his skin!?

 

I'm honestly really disappointed. I wanted my alien to do all 3 location aspirations then have alien babies & settle down. Now he's just the * who solved the Strangerville mystery & can't sing very well. There's no fun in that.

@2hCreations I've noticed the same - it isn't so much that the sim is an alien but the colour of their skin. I have created some berry sims and it seems anything outside the "normal" skin tones cannot tan.

I hope they update the aspirations, so that all of them can be completed by any type of sim. I like what they did with the Spa Day update, where they added three quite open-ended aspirations. I think the Beach Life aspiration should be more open-ended too, because right now it feels more like a tutorial than an aspiration, and it's absolutely an oversight that aliens and other non-tanable sims can't complete the aspirations without cheats.

I'm having a similar issue, my sim has a blue skin tone but isn't an alien. But since they can't tan because of it, they can't complete the aspiration.
