    I can send if I get the email.

  • Details:
    Tested with multiple save files, with and without mods. Ambition goals go missing after travelling between cities. I’ve seen it happen with the Master Chef, Tranquil Mind, Philanthropist and Luxury Mansion aspirations. I didn’t try any others but I’m convinced it’s the same behavior for all ambitions. Note when you return to the city where you last completed a goal from the ambition, it shows again but it should always be there regardless of which city you are in.

Gosls are missing:

It should have these goals:

Moving to another city after completing some of the ambitions breaks the whole system.

Can you still edit the goals and change them? If you edit them to Knowledge Seeker again, does it switch back to level 1?

Going back and forth between ambitions doesn’t fix the bug, or let me start from level 1. The only ambitions i can complete after moving to another city are the ones i have not yet chosen as ambitions.

The ambitions I completed before i travel stays completed. I can go around the bug if I complete the ambition 3/3 and get the achievement reward before i move to another city.

(Following example taken after moving to another city)

However, if I have unfinished ambition, it stays unfinished on that level, and cannot get the reward even if i write 20/20 books.

(You can see how level 1,2 stays completed but not 3 after moving to another city)

Alright, thank you for the explanation and the screenshots.

Would you kindly upload the affected save files here? I think this is save file related, but I’ll doublecheck + the devs can’t properly detect the bug without it. It’d be a huge help.
