Lifetime wish

A Sim must chose a Lifetime wish when growing from Teen to Young Adult, or when they are a Child or Teen and excel at a certain skill. The wish they choose must have something in common with the traits the Sim has, (i.e. if your Sim has the trait good then they most likely will not have the option of Master Thief for their Lifetime Wish). Below is a complete list of the 47 Lifetime wishes available in The Sims 3.
