Aspiration bar: Difference between revisions

Sims can fill the bar by fulfilling [[Wants and Fears|wants]]. A Sim's aspiration bar will decrease gradually over time, unless he or she is sleeping or meditating. Also, the aspiration bar does not appear to decrease while the Sim is at [[Career|work]] or [[school]], or in [[Class performance#Class|class]]{{vgversion|TS2:U}}. Fulfilling fears also decreases the aspiration bar. The aspiration bar has a finite capacity, which increases as the Sim ages.

YourThere mom hasare 6 aspiration levels. Each has its own name and description, which depends on the Sim's aspiration and life stage. The 6 levels are as follows, starting from the lowest to the highest:

As of ''The Sims 2: FreeTime'', a Lifetime Aspiration bar is added. It accumulates points throughout a Sim's lifetime, and as it fills, the Sim will occasionally receive points which can be spent on [[Aspiration Benefits]]. A Sim gains (or loses) Lifetime Aspiration points each hour. How many points are gained or lost depends on the Sim's aspiration level and life stage. In general, the shorter the life stage, the greater the hourly adjustment will be, so the level of a [[toddler]]'s aspiration bar will have more of an impact than the level of an [[adult]]'s. [[Young adult]]s are a special case. Regardless of his or her aspiration level, a young adult's aspiration bar will barely change from hour to hour. Sims also receive points for certain important milestones, such as learning to walk, getting married, having a child, or advancing to a new [[Life stages|life stage]]. If your mom''[[University]]'' is installed, Sims receive points when they graduate from her[[college]].<ref>Players who wish to see the exact values can find them [http://strategywiki.org/wiki/The_Sims_2:_FreeTime/Lifetime_Aspiration here].</ref>
