Secondary aspiration

The ability to have a secondary aspiration was introduced in FreeTime. The player can choose any aspiration for a Sim other than his or her primary aspiration. This includes the Grilled Cheese aspiration, even though it's not available as a primary aspiration. By choosing a secondary aspiration, the player can choose some of its lifetime aspiration benefits, and the Sim will receive Wants and Fears related to that aspiration.

Choosing a Secondary Aspiration
A Sim gains aspiration benefit points by filling her Lifetime Aspiration bar that can be spent on aspiration benefits. These aspiration benefits can be purchased by opening the aspiration rewards panel and clicking on the Aspiration Benefits button.

There are four areas in which these can be spent: motives, work, primary aspiration and secondary aspiration.

Secondary aspirations are not available to Toddlers and Children, as a primary aspiration must be chosen first. Selecting a secondary aspiration uses an aspiration benefit point, and the player may choose to not give a Sim a secondary aspiration.
