Grilled Cheese (aspiration)



The Grilled Cheese aspiration is introduced in the expansion pack Nightlife as an undesirable and failure aspiration. All the want and fears are related to grilled cheese sandwiches. It is rumored to be inspired by Sims in Sims 2 cooking this sandwiches autonomously all the time. However, it might also be based on the tradition of giving the employees grilled cheese sandwiches to eat when there is a significant milestone in Maxis.

Grilled Cheese aspiration Sims will unlock an unique interaction which is talk.../About Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. This interaction will usually be rejected unless the target is a nice Sim or his/her aspiration is Grilled Cheese too.

The Grilled Cheese aspiration is rather unpopular, but is a good choice for players who want very simple wants to fulfill, as nearly all of them involve your sim or other sims eating grilled cheese.

Enabling the Aspiration
Grilled Cheese aspiration is not available in any of the aspiration menus (which pop up when a Sim is created, grows into a teen or finishes junior year at university). However, it can be gained using a cheat code or with the ReNuYuSenso Orb. When using the cheat code, get up the code bar (Ctrl+Shift+C) and type in: boolProp testingCheatsenabled true. Then right-click your sim and look for the grilled cheese aspiration. When using the ReNuYuSenso Orb make sure your Sim is below golden aspiration (this is actually meant as a "negative" side effect of the orb when used below adequate levels) and they will receive the Grilled Cheese aspiration. The Grilled Cheese aspiration is also available as a secondary aspiration if you have FreeTime, this being the only time you can choose to have the Grilled Cheese aspiration during normal gameplay.

Meter Levels
There is no difference between the wants and fears among the life stages.

Desperations
Family Sims have fears over burning grilled cheese sandwiches, or being rejected for talking about grilled sandwiches. When the aspiration bar stays at deep red for a long time, the Sim will draw Mr. Grilled Cheese Sandwiches on a cardboard and kiss it.
