@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.)
