Callie is making some progress when it comes to the aspirations. To mirror the 4 childhood aspirations she will complete 4 aspirations as a teen. That means she will still be attending school, doing homework and keeping her character values in the green between the aspirations.
As a mount Komorebi resident she started out with the mt. Komorebi sightseer aspiration.
Callisto completed the aspiration during a lovely mother-daughter moment in the onsen.
After being such a perfect little child Callisto is a rebellious teenager now. All she cares about is having fun and pulling pranks (chief of mischief), dating the high school boys (serial romantic) and eating unhealthy junk food (grilled cheese aspiration). She will be completing those aspirations next, bofere growing up. I will probably have an update on them next week.
Wow you are making amazing progress @Atreya33. I had to laugh out loud when I read the last part about Callisto, my husband looked at me with a raised eyebrow LOL
@mcrudd I'm glad my story could make you laugh. I like imaging a little background for this challenge.
I generally dislike my sims doing mean stuff or cheating on their lover. It helps to see these aspirations as a temporary phase while my sim is growing up. After the aspirations she is working on as a teen, she will be tackling the public enemy aspiration. But she will be doing the vampire aspiration as well because I like to have 2 or 3 aspirations active. In my story she will become so mean under influence of her vampire nature.
@Atreya33 your imagination is great I feel the same about cheating and being mean, my saves are usually very family game play like and have the same values I have as a person Good luck with the rest of all your aspirations
My sims had quite an eventfull harvestfest. Callisto completed two aspirations in one day and her younger brother completed the artistic prodigy aspirations.
Callie completed the chief of mischief aspirations by finally levelling up the mischief skill.
I never used the voodoo doll before but it was fun. It took a few tries until I figured out teens can only bind other teens to the doll.
I especially like the option to summon the victim to the lot. I was quite surprised to be granted an achievement for levelling up the mischief skill with a teen. I had no idea that counted as an achievement.
My sims got a visitor who stayed for a couple of hours to celebrate harvest fest with them. Unfortunately she reached the end of her lifespan a couple of hours later and died of old age. This gave Callisto the chance to talk to Death... about grilled cheese.
I quite like this picture. Callie is sooo enthousiastic, but at the top of the screen it is clear Death is bored with the topic. Nevertheless is was enough to complete the aspirations.
Wow, you do some really interesting challenges, @mcrudd! I always try to do the aspirations in the game - I'm the "Aspirational style player" by onlyabidoang's categorization - but I don't do them in any particular order, I sort of do them all at the same time. Being forced to do it in a specific order is a challenge, and one I don't think I'd be inclined to want to have to do.
@Atreya33 OMG Callie's face while holding the voodoo doll Hahahahaha your visitor looks familiar, she never stays long though LOL. Death is thinking what is up with all these sims talking about grilled cheese Great update
@MiaSkywalker I try to make challenges that are still fun and not to time limited. Aging off challenges are so fun cause you know you don't have to rush I am so gonna do this one again once Stacy has her 100 babies I need to add the new aspiration as well that came with cottage living
@Atreya33 OMG Callie's face while holding the voodoo doll Hahahahaha your visitor looks familiar, she never stays long though LOL. Death is thinking what is up with all these sims talking about grilled cheese Great update
She stayed a bit longer than intended because I forgot to turn on aging
Callie finished her last aspirations as a teen. I usually play sims falling in love with the one true person for them so it was quite strange to kiss so many people. Her first date was the same one as her last date, the one you see in this picture. This is the relationship she will be going for for the future.
I have used and reworked your chart to create my own list to track my progress. I hope you don't mind.
The new aspiration is already on it.
It will be a little while before the next update because I don't have time to play for the next two weeks. When I get back to it, I plan to move my story to a new thread but I will stop by to post a link here.

I always tried to do them all at the same time but that doesn't really work for me. In 4 years I only completed 4 aspirations. Now I focus on a few at a time. Not one but 3 or 4 to switch between. For example when I had to wait for the snowy escape festival to come around, my sims could continue on the mischief aspiration in the mean time. Focussing on just a few at a time really helps me to get them done.
I am curious what you mean by onlyabidoang's categorization for aspirations. I tried searching for it but couldn't find it.
@Atreya33 you are doing so well I love how you group aspirations together, how clever is that. I also love how you have the three sections on how you are completing them. It would be brilliant if you just pop in here now and then and let us know how you are doing, especially once you are done and have your supersim, I should actually make a new chart and add the cottage living icon as well, like you did

Thank you for being so supportive. it really helps.
I am back after my break from the game and the forums and Callisto is hard at work at being a very versatile vampire.
Here she is being turned into a vampire by Elle de Vampirio, the best maxis premade vampire in my opinion
Callisto does dark meditation after her make over. She has already started the vampire family aspiration (I can't recall the actual name). I couldn't decide which premades she could turn so I decided to add the scooby doo gang (thank you gallery) as her neighbour and now they are all becoming vampires. I imagine they were examining a suspicious neighbourhood named forgotten hollow and found out to their great surprise that vampires are real.
@Atreya33 Hahaha I had to giggle when I read about the Scooby doo gang finding out vampires are real, I guess this time round its not going to be a mask that can be pulled off LOL OOh I have never really looked out for Elle de Vampirio she is indeed a beautiful vampire and well made. I will look out for her in the future Good luck with the rest of your aspirations. Sorry for the late reply, had a bit of a covid scare again, my nerves are shattered by now. Happy simming and can't wait to see more of your updates
I hope the covid scare wasn't too serious and you are still in good health.
It was a second case at my husband's work ,but they are completely changing shifts now and is going to have the same rules as a hospital, so in between shifts there will be an hour the factory stands and cleaning crew comes in to clean and one person will have to do the same shift until we come out of lockdown, he finds out today which shift he will be on.

Sorry to hear that. I can relate. I hate all the stress that comes with all these covid measures. Things used to be way more simple... . Sorry to reply so late, but here I am facing the opposite situation. I returned to the office after 10 months work from home. All the hassle that comes with it took my attention.
Back on topic.
It looks like the list with aspirations needs to be updated again for spa day. Do you have any suggestion where you would fit those aspirations in your order to complete them? I think I might try them out as soon as Callie is done with the vampire ones. She is currently on the last tier for two vampire aspirations and also on the last tier for the second deviant aspiration so I hope to get all of vampire ones done by the end of the month at the very latest. 20 sim days takes a long time for a micromanager with limited time to play.
For those wondering what happened to her third new aspiration, I'm currently stuck. No matter what I do, the regular customer task just won't complete.
@mcrudd yes, yes she is (and no, the girl on the left is not her regular)
@kusurusu sorry to hear you are stuck in the aspiration. I hope you find a way and this doesn't out to be a bug.
Callisto managed to complete two aspirations last weekend.
Vampire family: this one finished faster than expected. The perk to turn sims comes relatively low and the last tasks don't require the highest vampire rank. Here you can see her giving advice about life as a vampire to one of her offspring: Velma Dinkley.
Next was the public enemy. I had hoped to finish this aspirations by witnessing a sims death, and take a screenshot of that scene. I had a brand new sim join Callisto's household. She turned him into a vampire and then both of them went for a warm sunny day on a Sulani beach. Callisto had a sunlight reversal cocktail to protect her and 'the victim' did not. However his death happened a bit too soon which meant Callisto still had to rank up to level 8 of the criminal career to achieve the aspirations.

Give that girl a Grilled cheese she earned it You are doing great with Callisto, she is flying through these aspirations
Give that girl a Grilled cheese she earned it You are doing great with Callisto, she is flying through these aspirations
No idea why a high ranking vampire would be interested in grilled cheese but I will give her some
I am not sure if 'flying through' is the words I would choose, to me it feels like a slow but steady pace. I will be well into 2022 before I am done. In any case I am really enjoying this challenge. For the first time in years I am completely focused on content already in the game, not constantly longing for new packs to be released. So refreshing. I would have never started this challenge without this thread, so thank you for posting about this challenge.
@Atreya33 sometimes a girl even when a vampire just need some grilled cheese I am so happy you are enjoying the challenge, once I am done with my 100 babies I will do this one again, we have gotten new aspirations since I completed this one
Turns out, game is currently tuned in such a way that while offering 10 massages to the same person is not required (due to a missing link), you'd have to max relationship with a customer npc who's also an aspiring self-care specialist (and since npc aspirations aren't recognized, result will always be false). And should you manage to get the required relationship bit, your sim will glitch out when asking for another massage (because wrong type of relbit is used).

Sorry to hear it's not working for you. Let's hope this bug gets fixed soon.
I know for the vampire aspiration that kept resetting the number of days as a vampire, some people manually counted the number of days and then cheated the aspiration. Would you be willing to do the same and cheat the aspiration goal once you gave enough massages? Or do you consider that too much cheating ?
