When the challenge starts and if you run into the opposite problem, please PM the team, we will address every player's situation individually.

@Metro uhm I don't know whether this is correct but I think your math is out by 2 points. you only counted 1 child and no baby...

Great challenge, Don't know whether I have the patience for it but I'm definitely going to try!!

[MissZoef]

oh my! this sounds like a hard, but very fun challenge! Determined to get some pretty good scores, so I might start practicing soon

Thanks. I think the example was off by one. There was no baby in the example - only 2 Children which is 2 points.

Example: Your father has turned Elder, so it's time to stop playing your file. At this point you have moved out 15 Young Adults and all of them have completed unique Aspirations as well as your mom and dad. You also have 1 Young Adult still in the household, 1 Teen, 2 Children, and 1 Baby.

15 Young Adults moved out + mom and dad completing their unique Aspirations = 17 X 3 = 51.
1 YA in the household = 2.
1 Teen in the household = 2.
2 Children in the household = 2 (1 X 2).

Total = 51 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 57.

You wrote that there was a baby in the example, but didn't add the baby in when you started doing the math.

To move out your Young Adults you'd use Manage Worlds, correct? Because as far as I know there is no other in game way to move individual Sims out.

[Nutella]

Yes, you have to use manage world.  Carl has a very nice article on moving.

This problem does auto correct if you keep the goal when your Sim gets their next promotion.  The only one this isn't true for is Renaissance Sim, for jobs your Sim may have quit before the current step.  This might be intended though, it's hard to say.

I have something to add to this.  I have had sims both complete it with promotions and not complete it with promotions.  The first time I ran into this my sim was level 7 and was promoted to level 8 without it completing.  The second time, my sim was level 6, and it completed after I chose a path.  Then, I saw that happen two more times that it will auto complete only if you have the other parts of the aspiration done before you choose the path.  Also, with the family aspiration of your child maxing a career.  I saw that same pattern with it completing when your child chooses the career path.

Are we supposed to move most of them in with other households since there aren't many homes that cost less than 20K simoleans?

[Tixxis]

Are we allowed to delete the young adults in CAS via Manage Household instead of actually moving them out?

[Metropolis Man]

The team got a PM asking if Adult offspring can be moved out since the rules kind of made it sound like only Young Adults could be moved out. That's fine to do that. I clarified the rules.

Move them out.

I am a little confused since the premature completion bug came up.  I am pretty sure what makes the have a child reach the top of the career path goal to unlock in the successful lineage aspiration is when they choose the career path.  So, when this happens, does it not complete that goal of the aspiration in this challenge? Maybe in this case, it is what they intended. 

[MarianT]

@cristinal3106, that's a possibility. I remember in TS3, a parent could get a wish to see a child become a scientist or doctor, and that usually meant reaching level 5 or 6 of the career. And as long as we're on the subject of aspirations, with Renaissance Sim, I think the intent really is to have your sim reach level 3 of 6 different careers.

Considering that there are times the game doesn't give you credit for something you've already done (like with Computer Whiz, where you have to wait to get another promotion if you're already at level 5 or above of the Tech Guru career), couldn't we just leave it that if an aspiration level completes, you get credit for it? Besides which, when a requirement completes, you just get a check mark, so you don't know whether you really collected 25 collectibles or the game just thinks you did. (As far as I know, that particular aspiration isn't bugged, I'm just using it as an example.)

I'm okay with that. You guys know basically I am a softie with those kinds of things because no one hates game bugs more than me . But, seriously, that is always the case - honesty first. If you guys put in the work and the game does not give you credit for whatever it is, then talk to the team and we'll go from there.
