Aspiration Desperations

Family Sims have high-impact fears over relatives dying, losing friends and to be rejected to have interactions with their children or grandchildren. Sims who reach aspiration desperation will pull out a sack of flour with a face painted on it and will begin to rock and cuddle it like a baby.

Tips & Tricks

• It is not recomended to pair a Romance Sim with a Family Sim, as their wants will clash.
• If one wants to pair a Family Sim with another, the easiest are a Fortune Sim or a Knowledge Sim, since their wants won't clash very easily.
• You should create a family Sim married or at least with one (or more) children, because most of the family Sims' lifetime want is "marry off six children" (unless you create the Sim elder, and then it will be "have six grandchildren") and that is something very hard to achieve, so you have to make a lot of children, and fast. Also recommended is to adopt children when they are children and not babies or toddlers.
• Sometimes Family Sims get "Have a Child!" on both wants and fears. It's unknown why this happens, but you still get 3,000 ASP out of it.
