This game guide is for The Sims 4 only.
IMPORTANT: This guide is outdated. It is currently being updated to the latest version!
The Sims 4 introduced a replacement to Lifetime Wishes from The Sims 3, called Aspirations. They share some common elements, but unlike Lifetime Wishes, they focus on sub-aspirations and can be switched at anytime. Unlike The Sims 2's Aspirations, they don't influence your Sim's wants and fears, but instead occasionally give Whims related to the current aspiration selected.
Create-A-Sim
When creating your Sim, the aspiration you choose for your Sim will give them a "bonus trait." This bonus trait will help you along with the aspiration. For example, if your Sim gets the "Successful Lineage", aspiration (which is under Family), they will get the "Domestic" bonus trait, which will allow you to raise Friendly relationships with your family members faster. You can always switch aspirations when you are in the Live Mode. You can do this through the Aspiration panel. The bonus trait will change as well. On that note: you will not lose progress from the previous aspiration. Below is a list of all the Bonus Traits that can be recieved.
