When viewing a Sim in [[SimPE]]'s Sim Browser, the level of his or her aspiration bar is shown by two scales. One, labeled "Blized", shows the current level of the aspiriation bar. It runs from 0 to 1200, regardless of the Sim's life stage. The other, labeled "Current", appears to reflect how long the bar will remain at its current level. A Sim who has attained [[Perma-platinum]] will have scores of 1200 and 100. This is useful because a Sim's aspiration bar will occasionally be reset to a low green level when he or she is moved into a new lot, even if he or she had attained Perma-platinum. If this happens, the player can use SimPE to reset the Sim's aspiration level. |

This section describes features that are only available in The Sims 2.
The Aspiration bar is a bar showing the mental happiness for a Sim. When the player puts their cursor upon the bar, information will be shown, and the Lifetime Want will also be shown if University or later is installed.
Sims can fill the bar by fulfilling wants. A Sims' aspiration bar will decrease gradually over time, unless he or she is sleeping or meditating. Fulfilling fears also decreases the aspiration bar. The aspiration bar has a finite capacity, which increases as the Sim ages.
Life stage | Aspiration bar capacity |
---|---|
Toddler | 3000 points |
Child | 6000 points |
Teen | 9000 points |
Young adult Adult |
12,000 points |
Elder | 15,000 points |
There are 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:
Level | Percentage of Aspiration bar capacity |
---|---|
Deep Red | below 5% |
Mild Red | 5% to 10% |
Lower Green | 10% to 20% |
Upper Green | 20% to 25% |
Gold | 25% to 35% |
Platinum | 35% and above |
When the aspiration bar stays at the bottom for too long, the Sim Shrink will come and heal the Sim, and the aspiration bar will rise a little bit each day. If it was left untreated, the Sim will perform desperate actions. Until FreeTime, accomplishing a Lifetime Want will leave that Sim's bar at platinum until he or she dies. With FreeTime, fulfilling a Lifetime Want will boost the bar to platinum, and cause it to decay very slowly.
When viewing a Sim in SimPE's Sim Browser, the level of his or her aspiration bar is shown by two scales. One, labeled "Blized", shows the current level of the aspiriation bar. It runs from 0 to 1200, regardless of the Sim's life stage. The other, labeled "Current", appears to reflect how long the bar will remain at its current level. A Sim who has attained Perma-platinum will have scores of 1200 and 100. This is useful because a Sim's aspiration bar will occasionally be reset to a low green level when he or she is moved into a new lot, even if he or she had attained Perma-platinum. If this happens, the player can use SimPE to reset the Sim's aspiration level.
Lifetime Aspiration
As of The Sims 2: FreeTime, a Lifetime Aspiration bar is added. It accumulates points throughout a Sim's lifetime which can then be spent on Aspiration Benefits. Fulfilling wants on a daily basis fills the Lifetime Aspiration bar quicker. Sims can also receive points for certain important milestones, such as learning to walk, getting married or having a child.
