Introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', a [[Sim]]'s '''Lifetime Want''' (or '''LTW''') is a special [[Wants and Fears|want]] that represents the Sim's ultimate goal or something that would make his or her life "complete".
 
[[Child]]ren and [[toddler]]s do not have Lifetime Wants. After a child (or a [[PlantSim]] toddler) grows up, and his or her [[aspiration]] is chosen, he or she will receive a randomly selected Lifetime Want. As a rule, the Lifetime Want will not be selected until a) one of the Sim's want is fulfilled, or b) the player saves, exits to the neighborhood screen, and returns to that household.
 
Lifetime Wants tend to be very difficult to complete during a Sim's natural lifetime. When one is fulfilled, a Sim will receive a very large amount of aspiration and influence points. Once a Sim has fulfilled a Lifetime Want, they will receive another Lifetime Want.
Line 12 ⟶ 14:
A Sim's Lifetime Want is based on their aspiration. For example, a Sim with the [[Family (aspiration)|Family]] aspiration will tend to have a family-related LTW, such as having a specific number of [[Child|children]] or grandchildren, whereas a Sim with the [[Fortune]] aspiration will tend to want to earn a certain amount of money during his or her lifetime.
 
If ''FreeTime'' is installed, selecting a [[secondary aspiration]] for a Sim will not change the lifetimeLifetime wantWant, but will make the lifetimeLifetime wantsWants for the secondary aspiration available if the player uses a cheat or mod that allows the LTW to be reselected. If the player selects a secondary aspiration before a Sim's Lifetime Want appears, the randomly selected LTW may be one of those for the secondary aspiration.
 
''University'' had Lifetime Wants to reach the top levels of the [[Artist]], [[Natural Science]], [[Paranormal#The Sims 2|Paranormal]], and [[Show Business]] careers, but later expansion packs "stepped" on these. They can be restored through the use of [[mod]]s.
