I am currently playing quite a large family split into several households and I have Sims of all ages from children to elders. When the eldest daughter of my main household aged up to a teen I realised none of the aspirations suited what I wanted her to be. Then her grandmother finished one of the family aspirations and I faced the same situations.All of the aspirations we have in game are great for young adults and adults but not for the other ages...For example, I thought that elders could have one based on family and grandchildren called "Perfect Grandparent".Would you like to have aspirations for teens and elders specifically? And if yes, what would the goals be?

I want more aspirations in general. I like the idea of having more that can be completed by teens. The grandparent aspiration sounds fun too. I also wish reading to toddlers would fulfil the requirement to read 2 hours to a child some of the family aspirations have. So I don't have to round up random children in the neighborhood! ?

I would love more aspirations for all life stages (minus toddlers). I wish that children that had traits that pertained to them too. Like emotional, natural-born leader, goofball, goody-two-shoes, assertive, honest, loyal, good friend. The same for teens and elders (obviously some of these traits could be used by all ages but it would be nice to have a few specific to children, teens, and elders).

FYI, you can get aspiration and trait cc, just like you can for objects. I don’t think everyone who plays realizes this. The sim personalities are pretty thin the way the game is set up, so I have as many personality-enhancing mods and cc as I can find.My favorite right now is the “fibromyalgia” trait. I gave it to my artist. He’s often physically uncomfortable, so it gives him facial expressions and body gestures that make him look the part of the brooding, tortured artist, which is great for storytelling. Another one I just gave a toddler is the “autism” trait. I’m looking forward to seeing how that one plays out.

~~because a mental disability is a "trait" apparently~~

I would definitely love some aspirations specifically for teens and elders, and some more for kids as well.

I mean, autism is a condition and for some people isn't a disability. I know a lot of people who are autistic, ranging from those who find it affecting their life hugely to those who just see it as a part of their personality. And I have a friend with fibro myalgia who for her the condition is a big part of her life. I think adding these in is really nice and if done right could make the game more inclusive. Mental disability isn't a "trait" persay but come on, how else would you add it into this game?

I'd love more aspirations so much especially for these age groups!! Have been mod shopping this morning and there are some really interesting ones I'd never have thought of. Wish EA would maybe add some more in themselves though

Yes, I have downloaded a few traits already but I don't find that many aspirations… Also, I wish it was part of the game and we didn't have to use mods for that :/
