Sims will have one of eight aspirations at any given time. The base game does not allow a change of aspiration after a Sim is created or becomes a [[teen]]. The ''[[University]]'' expansion pack allows a Sim to change aspiration once after finishing their sophomore year. The ''[[Nightlife]]'' expansion pack added the [[ReNuYuSenso Orb]], an [[Aspiration reward (The Sims 2)|aspiration reward]] which allows a Sim to change aspiration. In the ''[[FreeTime]]'' expansion pack, Sims can have a [[secondary aspiration]].
