I'm surprised no one is talking about it! They (accidentally?) showed the CAS screen during today's livestream and something was different than usual 👀 among other things like not yet revealed hair, there was a new slot under the aspiration and traits slots: https://twitter.com/TheSimCommunity/status/1374427361584635906?s=20Since it seems to be tied to the aspiration and has got the exact same shape as the chosen aspiration (just on the opposite side), I'm guessing this could be a secondary aspiration. What do you think?

A secondary aspiration would be nice! An extra trait slot as well.

Huh. Aspirations are already changeable, so I wonder what they're doing with that? Is there a 4th trait slot? I don't see it there.

I personally hate how the current Aspirations in TS4 are, because of the fact that they're split into multiple milestones with multiple goals...it makes them extremely tedious to go through, it's too much hand holding from the devs.

To me aspirations are more like walk-throughs for each new DLC than actual aspirations. "Sigzy05;c-17841293" wrote:"Dianesims;c-17841272" wrote:A secondary aspiration would be nice!

Simscommunity corrected themselves a few minutes later, pointing out that it indeed wasn't a trait slot! It's still the good old 3 traits slots. And yes, I agree, having two aspirations at the same time would be kind of pointless since you can easily change them with no penalty whatsoever. I'm hoping for a secondary aspiration akin to TS2 aspirations, more long-term and set in stone once you've created your sim. TS4 aspirations always felt like "hobbies" to me and not true aspirations. I do like completing the challenges though, but having a long-term aspiration would be so complementary! :)

man i loved the fatal flaws on the sims medieval, and also that you could redeem them and gain an heroic trait instead!

Don't get my hopes up! :s Fatal flaws would be the icing on the cake, anything to aid in the torment of my sims

I just saw a video by Fantaysia and she is speculating it could possibly be for zodiac signs. I really like that idea, I’ve been missing having those in the game. Maybe that will somehow give more personalities.?‍♀️

Either an aspiration dependent trait (ex you pick between materialistic or ambitious for a fortune aspiration, romantic or commitment issues for a romance aspiration) or a personality flaw.
