Lifetime wish
This article needs a picture to illustrate what it is about. Find an image or upload one and add it.
The lifetime wish is part of a Sim's personality. The wish they choose must have something in common with the traits the Sim has. For example, a Sim with the Flirty trait can choose the Heartbreaker Lifetime Wish.
It is required for a young adult or older in Create a Sim. A Sim must chose a lifetime wish during the game when growing from Teen to Young Adult, or when they are a Child or Teen and excel at a certain skill.
Once a Sim has completed his/her Lifetime Wish, he/she will not be able to chose a new Lifetime Wish via the Change Lifetime Wish reward.
Below is a complete list of the 48 Lifetime wishes available in The Sims 3.
Sims with the Ambitious trait will gain 15% more lifetime happiness points (rounded to multiples of 500). For example, an Ambitious Sim with the Gold Digger lifetime wish will earn 23,000 points instead of 20,000.
