1 Knowledge: so much fun, and I love the alien baby thing and everything that goes with being rewarded for skill building and knowledge. This is the most "me" aspiration in the game and I love playing sims that have it! They tend to do well at their careers due to so much skill building, and do well at getting high-paying careers also.
2 Fortune: they are career driven, so position themselves well enough to live a good fun life (so long as they don't then have a bunch of kids). I also love that even as teens, they can make money as financial advisors on the PC.
3 Romance: that's just good clean fun! Get those wild oats sown before, or instead of, settling down!
4 Grilled Cheese: I love grilled cheese too, though I have gotten jaded on it in real life, but it's a good all-purpose "filler" aspiration for when you don't want to have your sim so pigeonholed.
5 Family: I like that you get high rewards for engagement, marrying, and so on, but hate that it makes sims want to have way too many kids. I also recently found out how awful some of the Life Wants that go with it, are: like having to marry off six kids?! Holy cow, never again.
6 Pleasure: it sounds good by the description, but it winds up being an endless string of penny-ante boring things with low rewards, plus higher-reward items that are impossible to achieve, like "have a dream date". Dates are notoriously difficult to have go well, in my game at least.
7 Popularity: exhausting! I'm an introvert and having to make and maintain so many friendships is an awful grind, in game and out. And it never ends, you just have to keep working at making and maintaining friendships every waking hour. Such a drag!
