Rank the aspirations!

I tend to be a real “happy families” type of player, so I don’t really create Romance Sims. Plus it can take a while for a Sim to get a romantic relationship going with one Sim let alone several! But I can see the appeal.
My Sims are usually Family, Knowledge or Popularity.

I don’t know if I can really “rank” them as such! It’s always funny when a Family Sim rolls the “have 10 children” want because I just go “hahaha no, you WILL go insane”. I don’t think I’ve ever had a Sim get abducted and have an alien baby unless I’ve played with the Curious family, although I have sometimes used the Tombstone of Life and Death to make a Sim alien pregnant in that way.

I also pay more attention to the specific Lifetime Want rather than the overall aspiration. I can easily change the LTW too.

Hi :mrgreen:

My favorite order...

1. Fortune. I love how hard they work and the one's I've played enjoy their families, too

2. I would say Pleasure. I like some slackers, too. They make great teens, imo.

My least is Family. They seem to be more about having the baby and then making friends then actually the family... Some are Really good family but not all Sims so I guess it's a lot to do with their personality.

My favorite combination is Fortune/Knowledge.

1. Knowledge - it's just ME, it's my fav-fav-fav aspiration that I give to my favourite Sims. I really like smart Sims, I guess.
2. Pleasure - because it's a bit of a crappy aspiration with very low rewards for Wants :D So because it's an underdog, I put it as second on my personal list, hahaha
3. Popularity - because it's got good highly-rewarded Wants, like publishing a book or selling a masterpiece, so it's a good aspiration. Though
4. Family-oriented - it just seems so dull to me... like, how many babies can you have? I don't want all my Sims to have like eight kids, because then I'd have to play with them all... that's how I play - I like to take care of every Sim in the world.
5. Romantic - because it's wicked in my opinion haha
6. Money - I don't like greediness...

Deleted because wrong thread. Sorry!

The ones I use the most are the Creative aspirations, such as Writer or Painter. I enjoy making Sims paint from reference and inventing books for my author Sims to write. I also like that sims can interview each other and write articles.
Another near the top for me is the Chief of Mischief, though I mainly pick it for personality because I like making dastardly sims. ?
I use Knowledge, Friendship and the occult aspirations such as Spellcraft and Sorcery a fair bit too.
Haven't really played through many of the others.

This is a thread about the Sims 2 aspirations.

Clearly Grilled Cheese is the best aspiration.

1 Family - Most of the time my Sims have at least one child, some end up with more than eight!
2 Knowledge - Who doesn't like to know stuff - especially basic cooking so you don't burn down the house?!
3 Popularity - Having friends makes life more interesting, doesn't it?
4 Fortune - You are born and you die. At least spend the time inbetween in a big nice house.
5 Pleasure - Some Sims enjoy life that way as some people do. Not my personal choice, but good for university students.
6 Romance - This is just for special Sims. Yes, I'm looking at you Don!
7 Grilled Cheese - I tried it once.

Family! I'm trying to fulfill tge 10 children eant with my current family! ?

I did have one family have ten kids. I think they were all conceived with the help of the Tombstone of Life and Death. I believe they were five sets of twins, with the first set being alien babies and I think one of the other sets was too. Literally all I remember about the family is that one of the first set of twins was called Billie. It was YEARS ago now.

My personal ranking for each Sims 2 aspirations:

1) Family - This is easily one of my favourite aspirations because my Sims 2 gameplay will solely revolve around forming families and their relationships with family members. Though I do spice it up a little with giving them either a Fortune/Knowledge sub that compliments them well based on personality.

2) Knowledge - Mostly because Knowledge sims remind me a bit of myself in real life because I love learning although they can get repetitive real quick and I don't really want to always fulfill skill related wants so I will likely add a sub aspiration to make their wants more varied.

3) Grilled Cheese - This aspiration is supposed to be a joke but I kinda like the charm of your Sims going bananas and losing their minds to focus on their love for Grilled Cheese. Although Grilled Cheese is a good sub aspiration to make for some funny Sims

4) Fortune - I'd rank this higher if they weren't so obsessed with buying stuff more than they even need. Like chill with the spending?

5) Popularity/Pleasure - These two aspirations are fun if you're playing with teenage sims but not ideal for later life stages but I do enjoy them nonetheless, I will most likely give them a sub aspiration to balance them more in terms of their wants and life goals

6) Romance - It's not that I hate them but all their wants seem to revolve around WooHoo which can be tedious for long gameplays but hey they're pretty fun to spice up neighborhoods with because of the drama they cause by just existing. I will definitely give them sub aspirations to round them out a bit more so they're not always DTF
