listening to music for 2 hours is not counting up

[Summers]

I'm trying to let my sim live as a homeless, so I purchased only an empty lot. He is practicing piano at a bar, learning exercise at a gym,etc. He is having a "listen to music for 2 hrs ' mission and let him do that at a bar and gym over 3hrs but it's not counting up. Should he do that at home lot? No mods at all I'm using and the latest patch has done.

I notice it doesn't work unless you're using a regular stereo (not a wall mounted one). Are you using a regular stereo or a wall mounted one?

@LivvieLove seems to be correct. I went to take a look at the tuning files, and the listening actions for the public (wall) stereos don't have the correct tag to fulfill that objective.
(And neither do they have the correct tag to fulfill the event goals to listen to music, BTW.)

Seems like a bug to me.

(for modders: an action needs to have the "Interaction_ListenMusic" tag to fulfill that objective, which all the listening actions for ground and table stereos do; those actions are the ones that start with "stereo_listen_". The actions for the wall stereos, though — which start with "stereoWall_listen_" — don't.)

Also you need to choose "listen to pop" or "listen to alternative" or another genre. The options that say "listen to appreciate classical music/the blues"  do not count towards the goal. Took me a longgggg time to figure this one out

My sim completed that goal today by Appreciate Classical.
