  2. my children have all finished all aspirations, but it does not mark them as complete. I had three children, then got to the last level of the aspiration, got them all even to finish adult aspirations, it would not mark. So I had two more children (my household is a poly household where the man is partners with two women, but married to one, so he had one with each woman the first time, and an alien pregnancy on himself, then the second batch of children he had one with each woman) and they were newborns while their siblings were getting to the top of their career. They turned into children, again maxed out all 5 aspirations before becoming teens, and still it will not mark it as complete. I do not know what I am doing wrong, but I’m about to just skip this aspiration completely as it’s driving me insane!

    1. Aspirations in The Sims 4 only complete per individual Sim, not per household or save file. Even if all three children complete their aspirations, the aspiration will only tick off for the Sim who actually has the Successful Lineage aspiration active. On the other hand, that save file sounds CRAZY!!!
