Aspiration reward (The Sims 2)

Not to be confused with Aspiration reward (The Sims 4) or Lifetime reward.

Aspiration rewards are objects in The Sims 2 that are bought with points gained by filling a Sim's Aspiration bar.

These objects can have negative results if used when a Sim's aspiration bar is not at least Gold. If a Sim's aspiration bar is green, there is a 50% chance of failure when using an aspiration reward, and if it is red, there is an 80% chance of failure. What appears to matter is the Sim's aspiration level when the reward begins to operate, which is not always when the Sim begins to use it. In general, a reward will continue to operate if the user's aspiration bar drops to green while it is operating. However, if a Sim's aspiration bar drops to green between the time he or she begin to use a reward and the time it begins to operate, the reward may fail.

Most of the aspiration reward objects can only be used five times. A mod available at More Awesome Than You allows Sims to recharge most reward objects by expending aspiration reward points.

A burglar can steal aspiration reward objects. When a burglar is deciding what to steal, the number of points needed to buy the reward object will be considered to be its value in simoleons.
