Well, at least there's a way to make custom aspirations until we get some of these.

what way is that @nerdfashion

That mod constructor thing is waaaay too complicated for me... I couldn't even create a simple custom trait. :'(

Yes please, I'd love more drive to go down the retail route but there isn't that much (ignoring the fact that I find it clunky, personally).

Also perhaps a season/holiday related aspiration which requires you to have fantastic holidays, including the random ones (rebate day, talk like a pirate day etc.) It could also have things such as "create a snowman" which isn't hard in and of itself, but requires either waiting, travelling elsewhere or using the weather machine to complete, an things like "become friends with father winter" etc.

1) Knowledge / Alien Scientist: Finding out as much as possible about aliens and their world. Tasks include:

- Build the Rocket Science skill
- Travel to Sixam
- Find a certain amount of alien collectibles
Reward trait "Not of this world": Your sim always recognises aliens in disguise and can easily make friends with them, space travels are more likely to be successful and yield rare collectibles.

2) Fortune / Businessman or -woman: All about owning a successful store.
- Open a retail store
- Hire an employee
- Buy a certain amout of retail perks
- Earn a certain amount of money from your business
Reward trait "Expert Salesman/-woman": Customers are drawn to your shop and are easily persuaded to buy your goods.
Note: Could also work with restaurants instead of retail stores if Dine Out is installed.

Because why not? This would give me a reason to actually use the retail feature.

Completely agree! There's some modded GTW aspirations that I use (one for each active career, plus an extra "Frankenstien" scientist thing that's focused more on making mischief with science than discovering things or doing well at your job lol) and they definitely help, and there's a UFO explorer aspiration mod that's finally been updated, but I don't think it's GTW oriented, it's designed to work with the base game. And it bugs me SO MUCH there's no shop-running or restaurant owning or veterinarian aspirations!

What I would love to see in aspirations is that the assignments for each stage get somewhat randomized so that they variate between Sims. ?

An aspiration I'd like to see for vampires is one where the goal is to ultimately cure (back) to human. As well as one in which slaying vampires is the goal. ?‍♂️

What about an aspiration linked to the Baking skill? I never have the motivation to build it.

I'd love an aspiration for a 'vampire hunter' to 'find' vampires and cure them.
