{{Era|TS2FT|SO}}
 
'''Lifetime aspiration benefits''' become available to [[Sim]]s 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.

|The "Plead for Job" interaction appears on all phones for 24 hours after being fired, with a chance of successfully being reinstated to the prior position. This benefit only applies to career tracks, not to Sim-owned businesses.

|Increases the chance of conceiving [[twins]] by 50%. This benefit will be applied after 25 hours of pregnancy, when the Sim's belly expands for the first time.

Line 105 ⟶ 111:
|Skilled Negotiator
|''Fortune-minded Sims are naturals at the fine art of haggling, and what negotiation could be more important than the one for your salary? Your ruthless nature nets you a hefty bump in salary compared to other Sims.''
|The Sim will receive 1.5x25x the normal salary for his or her job. This will not change the salary shown in the career tab, but the adjusted salary will be shown when the Sim is paid. This benefit does not appear to affect what the Sim will receive for a paid vacation day, and does not appear to affect a retired Sim's [[pension]].

Line 122 ⟶ 128:
|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].

Line 152 ⟶ 159:
|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.

|3-Way Calling
|''While a standard conversation may be enough stimulation for a normal Sim, the true social butterfly prefers a conference call. During a phone conversation with another Sim, you can use the phone to call a third Sim, and build relationship with both.''
|A Sim with this benefit who is on the phone can call a third Sim and build relationships with both simultaneously. If a [[young adult]] uses the Campus Directory to call another Sim in a [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]] sub-neighborhood, this option will not be available.

|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]].
