Child aspirations!

More aspirations sounds like a good idea! Do you have any suggestions for aspirations that you'd like to see for children?

I kind of wish there was a cooking/food one for kids, but that would require the return of the kiddie cooking oven.

I miss the children being able to sell cakes on the street to passers by! They should bring it back along with the oven and an aspiration to go with it.

You know what that would be good especially if they brought back lemonade stands and bake sales.

Ooh! Yes! A Fortune aspiration for kids! Goals could include "Sell three pictures from the activity table" (you can do that using the inventory), "Make 100 Simoleons from a craft or lemonade stand", "Own a craft or lemonade stand", and so on. Maybe they'd add that with a Generations/Free Time EP, with a reward trait to match. I'd love that! :D

maybe 'put on a show' for parents for a Showtime EP for child aspiration?

The thing is the 4 child aspirations match the 4 main groups of adult skills. Unless they add corresponding skills to the adults, or revise how they are divided, they can't add another aspiration to the kids.

At the moment:

Motor Skill = Energized = Fitness (also effects vitality and metabolism)
Mental Skill = Focused = Logic/Programming/Gardening etc.
Creative Skill = Inspired = Painting/Cooking/Instruments/Writing etc.
Social Skill = Confident (and later) Flirty = Charisma/Comedy/Dancing etc.

The categories work, and if you choose just 1 or 2 you could have your child sims working on their preferred adult skills, rather than trying to complete all 4 and not taking advantage of the skill boost early on.

I wouldn't mind some aspirations that don't deal with the 4 child skills. Like kids can dig up gems, so maybe a collector aspiration for kids, or a lighter fortune aspiration like SimsLovinLycan said.

I just feel like 4 is super limited. It makes me get bored of playing kids when I only have the same few aspirations to pick from.

I wish they would have included both the oven and lemonade stand in Get to Work for kids.

I wish the aspirations were dynamic instead of a fixed list of objectives. I have no problem doing the creativity aspiration with a quarter of all my Sims children for example, but I have a problem with the fact that every single one of them want an activity table.
