Wants



Wants are a Sims' wishes. It was introduced in the Sims 2. A normal Sims have 4 wants and a Sim who has completed College will have 6.

Wants will change either when one of the wants or fear has come true, or after they have a good night's sleep. Players can lock 1 want out of 3 to ensure that it will not change. Sims that went through college can have 2 out of 6 wants locked.

Completing wants will rise the aspiration bar and the influence bar. The more difficult the want is, the higher they will rise.

Lifetime wants were introduced in The Sims 2: Open for Business.
