Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.91.205.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I do not own: Batuu, Strangerville, My first pet, Toddler, Bowling night, Kids room, Movie hangout, Spooky, Cool kitchen, Carnival kit, Modern menswear kit, Industrial loft, Fashion street kit, Bust the dust kit, Throwback fit kit
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? If you have an ambitious Sim, the want on completing a daily task will appear - for me the task is to create an eco-upgrade part. The task is completed but not the want.
What happens when the bug occurs? Nothing.
What do you expect to see? For the want to be fulfilled and get the points.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

It looks like you pinned the task. I’m wondering if it’s that specific want that’s broken, or the pinning of it? Have you tried fulfilling the complete a work task want without pinning it? And have you tried pinning other wants before fulfilling them?
Alternate theory - wants & fears are only made for base game & HSY. Is it possible this want only fulfills with base game jobs?

Okay I've done some testing (though I'm on Mac not Windows).
I couldn't get the ambitious Sim to get the "complete a daily work task" want at all to check it, but I did get the "quit a job" want for the noncommittal Sim. First he was in the scientist career and quit by going to the phone and choosing "quit job" - the want fulfilled for me, even though it wasn't a base game job. Then I chose another non-base game job for him: conservationist. The next day the "quit job" want came up again, so this time instead of quitting directly I had him switch jobs to fisherman, and the want still completed for me.
I don't have the Eco Lifestyle pack though to try those jobs. I assume you were in an Eco Lifestyle career to have the create an eco-upgrade part.
Have you tried deleting the cache file after removing mods? What jobs do your Sims have?

I played a few more days with my test Sims but couldn't get either want to pop up. The only other thing I can think of is that babysitter is part-time. Is it possible that the quit job want only works with career jobs? I don't remember the exact wording and wasn't able to test but may try again later this week.
Still not sure about the complete daily work task though - were you in the civil designer career when that wasn't working?

I've finally repeated this and can add my me too! Took me some time to get the "complete a work task" want - finally managed it by creating a Sim with the ambitious trait, and then two non-base-game traits, a non-base-game aspiration, non-base game activity likes, and no music likes.
That said, I was not able to replicate the quit job want not fulfilling - that one seems to work for me.
Product: Sims 4
Platform: Mac
Language: English
How often: only got the want one time so far, but bug with it happened first time
Current game: 1.91.205.1220
Packs: Cottage Living, Snowy Escape,Discover University, Island Living, Cats & Dogs, Get to Work, Werewolves, Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Jungle Adventure, Paranormal, Tiny Living, Moschino, Laundry Day, Bowling Night, Kids Room
Steps: Play with an ambitious Sim. It helps if you make sure there's nothing other than the ambitious trait to generate wants. Get a job and wait to get the "complete a work task" want. Complete a work task.
What happens: Want does not fulfill when the work task is marked complete.
What do you expect: Want fulfilled.
Mods: Not in this save.

I also have an ambitious Simin the law career and cannot complete the want although she completed her daily work task on the computer.
