Power (aspiration)

The Power aspiration is a secret aspiration that was dropped before The Sims 2 ' s release. It can be accessed by the Sim Modder with the boolprop testingcheatsenabled cheat.

The aspiration has some wants that are similar to Popularity and Fortune wants and in Free Time the Aspiration Benefits for Power are the same as Popularity and Fortune.

Little more is known about this mysterious aspiration. The wants and fears of this aspiration mostly have nothing to do with actual Power, as one would think it would be like "Influence a Sim to...", "Get a Job in the Military Career" or "Own a Business". Some of the wants are actually "Read a Book", " Go to Work/School" or "Jump on the Bed", which shows it's unfinished.

Also, if accessed via the Sim Modder, it does not appear to have an icon, which is another indication that it's unfinished. However, when looking at the program files, the hidden icon for the aspiration can be found.

Some premade deceased Sims (like Julius Caesar, Hamlet Dane, Sr., etc.) appear to have this aspiration. It also can be found on some NPCs (Ron Condor, Hannah Keebles, Grim Reaper, etc.)

Don't switch your sims aspiration to power what so ever. It'll cause an repeated error with your sims every few seconds and it'll interfere with your gameplay. Exit and don't save your game to undo this error.
