Hey guys I've always wanted to know how other simmers play. Do you only do one aspiration at a time or do you change it all the time depending on what your doing? I have a really bad habit of swapping mine all the time so if I'm cooking I switch it and when I'm gardening I switch it, no matter what I'm doing lol, I used to think it was for satisfaction points but now I just think its satisfaction lmao.How do you play?

I switch them constantly, and then get annoyed with myself when I forget to switch them back before doing a particular activity.

If my sim hasn't completed the current aspiration when a new pack releases I usually switch then. I love this feature.

Thats a good way of doing it, but my brain just wants to do it all lol

I'm usually working on more than one aspiration at a time with each Sim, so I'm switching pretty frequently as I vary which one is what that Sim is working on at that very moment. I try to stick to just 2 or 3 different ones which make the most sense for the Sim's personality and career/education goals at any given time though....just to save my own sanity.

Do you only do one aspiration at a time?

Only one aspiration per sim at a time.

You need to have the image hosted somewhere else online and then paste the url image link into the box that comes up when you click the button for adding pictures that is at the top of the new-post interface here. https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/15923198/#Comment_15923198

To get the actual image link, what I do is right click the picture where I have it hosted and select "Copy Image Link". Not all browsers support that though, and not all image hosting sites either. I use Tumblr for where I post them first, and it works fine from there.
