Aspiration benefit

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, work, primary aspiration and secondary aspiration. Benefits must be gained in order per category. Children can only spend points in motives and work categories until they choose a primary aspiration when they become a teen.
