A couple of different Aspiration errors

★★ Novice

Not all my Aspirations tasks are working. No matter how long I fish, the 'hour' counter will not increase to let my sim unlock that achievement (Angling Ace: fish for a total of 10 hours). I also can't "Mount or bowl 5 fish", not matter how many times I successfully achieve the action. I also can't "write 4 songs" under the creative "Harmonious" Aspiration. I have level 10 guitar and violin, but the "write songs" option no longer appears. I got it once, but never again.

I've also got some other buggy stuff that may or may not be related (my wicker fish-trap thing cannot be "set" and my sim keeps looking naked after I tell her to change out of her Uni sports uniform, but she thinks she is wearing clothes and just keeps changing into more nudes), but the Aspiration stuff is getting frustrated. I have no modded content.

I am also missing the ability to write songs. Both my violin and guitar are at level eight where you are supposed to be able to write songs. But the option does not show up.

Try a couple of different things: I can't remember how I fixed it, but I either needed to have the guitar/violin IN my inventory to get the option or NOT IN the inventory. See if the placement of your instrument is the problem but switching between these Standard smile

When I clicked the fish tank, there was no option anywhere to add fish to it. So I opened the fish tank and dragged five of my freshly caught inventory fish into the fish tank. Didn't count for the aspiration. Putting them on the wall worked though. As a side effect my sims got the stinky moodlet whenever they walked past the fish tank, as the fish were foul Frown

Yeah, sadly the aquariums don't work for "mount or bowl."  What does work, weirdly enough, is to buy a cheap bowl like the "Fit4Fish Crystal Bowl" or whatever it's called (I usually search "fit4fish") and to put the same fish in the bowl and take it back out 5 times. I'd rather keep my exotic fish as pets in an aquarium than mount them, but for the aspiration you need to use the dinky bowls.

 

As for writing songs, I usually have to click through a whole lot of options and need the instrument to not be in the inventory.  I think they've moved it to a second page?

 

@paulawalters2011As for the bugged outfits, maybe this recent thread will help? https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-Feedback/Bugged-every-day-outfits-Unable-to-fix/m-p/108...
