{{Era|TS2FT|SO}}'''Lifetime aspiration benefits''' become available to [[Sim]]s as they fill their Lifetime [[aspiration bar]].
'''Lifetime aspiration benefits''' become available to Sims as they fill their Lifetime [[aspiration bar]]. There are four areas in which these can be spent: [[motives]], [[Career|work]], [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|primary aspiration]] and [[secondary aspiration]]. Benefits must be gained in order per category. [[Toddler]]s<ref>The Prima Guide for ''FreeTime'' says that toddlers cannot spend lifetime aspiration points, but they can.</ref> and [[child]]ren can only spend points in the motives and work categories until they choose a primary aspiration when they [[Birthday|become]] a [[teen]]. However, while toddlers and children can spend points in the work category, those benefits are not useful until a Sim becomes a teen and can get a [[Career|job]].▼
Aspiration benefit points are used to pay for these benefits. Each benefit costs one aspiration benefit point. A single aspiration benefit point is gained when the lifetime aspiration level increases, and when the maximum lifetime aspiration level is reached, the total amount increases to 16, allowing the player to select all motives, work, and primary aspiration benefits, as well as the first three benefits for a secondary aspiration.
▲
"Slower Motive Decay" benefits reduce the decay rate for the affected motives by 12%, and are cumulative. For example, if a Sim has the first benefit in the Motives category, and is given the first benefit for the Knowledge aspiration, his or her Social motive will decay even slower.

|Plead with the Social Worker
|''Every parent makes mistakes, but it is possible to get a second chance at raising your kids. If the social worker comes to collect your kids as a result of poor parenting, you'll have a chance to plead your case with her. The higher relationship you have with your kids, the more likely she is to hold off on taking them away.''
|There is a chance that the Social Worker will grant the household a reprieve, giving them 24 hours to restore order to the household. This benefit will stack with other Sims in the household who also have it, raising the chance of a reprieve.

|Sims who have this benefit may use it autonomously if a computer is available. The amount earned from this benefit depends on the Sim's [[Logic]] skill.

|The amount gained or lost is based on a variable percentage of the family funds. This benefit is applied every day at 4:00 PM. Unlike most actions which take place at a set time of day, this will happen if the Sim is on a community lot when the clock hits 4:00 PM. This means it could happen once while the Sim is on a community lot and again while the Sim is at home. A mod to prevent this from happening on community lots is available [http://cyjon.net/node/255 here].

|Eureka!
|''There are left-brained Sims, and there are right-brained Sims, and then there's you. By thinking with both hemispheres of your brain, you experience moments of clarity that make your learning rate much faster than those other half-brained types.''
|This does not increase the Sim's overall learning rate. However, each animation cycle spent in skill-building carries a chance that the Sim will have a "Eureka!" moment; a "flash of insight" into the skill that provides a sudden bonus to the skill.

|This benefit can be used with either the '''Astrowonder''' or '''Farstar e3''' telescopes. However, if cutscenes are disabled when a Sim is abducted while using the Astrowonder telescope, the Sim will simply vanish, as the Astrowonder has no abduction-specific animations. The Sim will attach a flashlight to the telescope's eyepiece, and use it to create a beacon. Unlike other telescope interactions, it does not appear to build [[Logic]] skill.

|This benefit will affect both Sims involved in a conversation or interaction, but the effects do not stack if both Sims have the benefit. The effects do not appear to stack with the effects of [[Weather (game mechanic)#Summer|Summer]] or [[Weather (game mechanic)#Winter|Winter]].
