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 much 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 the adult [[Life stages|life stage]]. If ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' is installed, Sims receive points when they graduate from [[college]].<ref>Contrary to popular belief, research at [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,11203.0.html ''More Awesome Than You''] showed different milestones than in the [http://strategywiki.org/wiki/The_Sims_2:_FreeTime/Lifetime_Aspiration Prima Games Guide]</ref>
 
Filling a Sim's Lifetime Aspiration bar to its top will give the Sim [[perma-platinum]] status, as well as a special memory. The Sim will also have a total of 16 [[aspiration benefit]] points, so the player will be able to select all Motives, Work, and Primary Aspiration benefits, as well as the first three benefits for a [[secondary aspiration]]. A full Lifetime Aspiration bar will be surrounded by a white glow.
 
This is the list of milestones that boost Lifetime Aspiration when achieved.
