Popularity

Sims with the Popularity Aspiration desire flocks of friends and killer parties, so if they aren't on the phone, practicing politics, or dancin' the night away, they probably should be. Their Aspiration Meters will fill with every friend, fair-weather or not, and allow them to live long and famous lives. Popularity is an Aspiration in The Sims 2. Popularity Sims want to befriend 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 houses, and have a good Reputation. Popularity Sims will want to befriend pets too.

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