What I've changed:

• That one objective.
• I updated one of the tooltips to reflect changes in the pie menu, so one string is changed.
• I added the teen+ aspiration_valid_age_type. Not having that is the main reason it was broken.
• I added completion loots to the objectives, for wants and pivotal moments, as is now the standard.
• I added a buff to let the game know that the aspiration was completed. I'm not sure why it's in all the aspirations I looked at, but it is, so this one matches those. Maybe milestones?
• The reward trait is now valid for reincarnation.
• The reward trait is now available for teens.
• The reward trait now has a display_name_gender_neutral.
• The reward trait is restricted to humans, or available for humans--humans meaning not pets. Probably both. I think a species test became required since the mod was last updated.
• I re-used the included icon on the trait, since it didn't have one.
• I updated the SImData.
• I added comments, since I had to update all the files anyway, and if it does require a full overhaul at some point in the future, they'll make it much, much easier. This time it just needed a little touch-up.

Most of those are things I've done for every aspiration I've updated.

I haven't added wants. I've made so few changes that it didn't feel right to, and xbrettface said they had plans for the aspiration the last time they updated it. Hopefully they will come back and make those changes.

If you've been playing with the aspiration despite it being a bit broken, you can pop the update into your game and keep going with no progress lost.

Existing translations will probably still work (no idea where they are, since they're not linked or included), but that one string ('Share Photos interaction can be found under the 'Friendly' category when you select another sim.' became 'Share Photos interaction can be found in the 'Small Talk' section under the 'Friendly' category when you select another sim') could use updating. I can't guarantee it though, because the group number got changed from 00000000 to 80000000.

Requires Get to Work, City Living, Island Living, and Moschino Stuff.

Updates :

• May 28, 2025: Remade the mod. In the process, discovered an unintentional (on my part, at least) requirement for Discovery University -- nothing that would cause errors, but one of the goals would have been missing. That's been fixed. Added a whimset. Since it had to be remade, if your sim had the aspiration or the reward trait, they'll lose it. There were assorted other minor fixes that weren't anything breaking, but since I was digging into it anyway, those got fixed. For translators: there are 5 new strings, and 'Purchase a Retail Lot (Retail Lot)' and 'Purchase a Retail Lot through the Owned Businesses menu on your active sim' have been changed. That's because a Small Business Venue from Businesses & Hobbies now counts. It can't be a home lot, and it can't be a lot you already own, but you can use the new lot type.
• May 12, 2026: Patch update
• May 18, 2026: Reverted where the aspiration instances got accidentally changed from 32 bit to 64 bit and may have caused an error when sims aged up to this aspiration.
