I definitely dislike goals that require me to wake up hours earlier than I usually would--I just pay the LP to skip those! Thankfully I can earn the LP back quickly with a few sims on woodworking or doing a ghost hunt. I also don't really care for those long goals with very little rewards (like hibernate for a day

) but one of my "worker class" sims is always available to do those ones. If it's part of a quest, such as the Higher Education Quest, then I don't actually mind it because I know there's a point to the whole thing. Bribing the ducks for 24 hours was rough, but I knew that the "get promoted to level 2 politics" was coming afterward, so that gave me enough time to get my girl promoted twenty minutes after the bribing was completed (which gave me enough time to complete the goal in between those two, so it was very well co-ordinated!) I didn't have a toddler around at the time I got that task, but it actually worked out better to have one of my worker class guys do it so the new politics girl could work on her job level.
What annoys me most is getting a goal that requires me to go up 4 levels before I can complete it! That's what happened to me with my social goals. I got a goal to burn waffles at a neighbor's house but I still can't make waffles yet--hopefully I can reach level 26 tonight or early tomorrow though. In the meanwhile, my girls have been working on figure skating and diving just for fun in my neighbors' towns, plus making friends with my friends' sims.
