Least Used Aspirations

Does anyone have aspirations they rarely or never use? My least used are Friend of the Animals and The Curator. I also rarely use Serial Romantic and the wellness aspirations, such as Zen Guru.
  • Family gameplay isn't a big part of my play style so I've never tried any of those aspirations. The same sort of thing goes for the deviance aspirations. I'm not big into evil or mean sims. My sims are almost entirely female so I've only done the bodybuilder aspiration twice, once with a female werewolf and once with one of the very rare male sims. There's really only a handful of aspirations that I play because my play style isn't aspiration driven and most of sims are creative types so I use those the most when I'm in the mood to do an aspiration.
  • My least used are the deviant aspirations. I don't like mean or evil people.

    I am doing all of them with my supersim. I am currently on a break but have already done over 50 different ones and plan to do the rest as well next year. I probably will never repeat the deviant ones, the animal lover (annoying tasks) , vampire aspirations (not interested in vampires), the wellness ones (bugged) and bust the dust (bugged as well)

    My most favorite but also least used is the Curator. IMHO it's undoable because colletibles such as crystals etc spawn really rarely for me.

    For everyone who dislikes Curator, here's a maybe helpful tip:

    Only one sim in the household needs to do most of the steps, then that sim can hand over their findings to the other family members and it will count for them, too.

    That one sim in question can even help themself in that way. If you need to find five crystals, for example, you only really need one, then place it outside the sim's inventory, drag it back inside, and the game will stupidly count it as a newly discovered crystal. The same crystal won't contribute more than once to your collection, of course, but to the aspiration milestone. @DoloresGrey might find this helpful, too. Just don't tell the developers about this or else they might prioritise fixing this harmless minor bug over the game-breaking ones.
  • To be honest, unless I'm playing a challenge that requires aspiration completion, I typically don't actually bother completing aspirations unless I need the points (and usually then I just aspiration hop to build up points as fast as I can haha). I typically just choose an aspiration that suits my sims personality and kind of just leave it there. For me, playing through aspiration milestones are often way too tedious and repetitive to actually be fun, but I will say that when completing challenges that have aspiration requirements, I do enjoy trying them all out and trying to do as many as I can.

    As far as just picking the aspirations that my sims will just casually hold on to while I play, I feel like I tend not to ever pick the mean or evil ones, just since it's rare for me to really play an evil sim. It's something I feel like I should try out at some point though, would probably be fun haha

    I used to spend more time working on Aspirations, but I had Wants & Fears turned off back then. At least I tried to turn them off. They were bugged, if I remember, and would pop back on. Thinking about this now, I'm going to turn W&F back off. I just realized I'm sacrificing time I could use working on Aspirations for granting immediate Wants instead. Now there's a life lesson for you! ?

    There are so many things to do in the Sims, I find it difficult sometimes to do it all. ?
