Popularity

Popularity is an Aspiration in The Sims 2. Popularity Sims want to make friends as many people as possible. They like to meet somebody new, befriend them, make best friends with them, and eventually become BFF with them. This is a neverending cycle of friendship as they tend to want to be friends with anyone they've met. They also love to throw great parties, join Greek house, and have a good Reputation.

Besides the good friendship development, some Popularity Sims also have bad sides. They tend to want to win a fight against their enemies.
