[[Image:Popularity.gif|left]]The '''Popularity''' aspiration is one of the five basic aspirations for a [[Sim]] that comes with the [[The Sims 2]] game. Sims that have the Popularity aspiration typically want to make many friends and best friends, and will also want to choose certain career paths based on this aspiration such as [[Athletic]] or [[Politics]]. Throwing [[Party|parties]] is also a common want for Popularity Sims--which, in turn, provides them with opportunities to make yet more friends. Sims with high Nice and Outgoing [[personality]] ratings typically do well as Popularity Sims.

<blockquote class="note">Sims with the Popularity Aspiration desire flocks of friends and killer parties, so if they aren't on the phone, practicing politics, or dancin' the night away, they probably should be. Their Aspiration Meters will fill with every friend, fair-weather or not, and allow them to live long and famous lives.</blockquote>
[[File:Popularity.png|left]]'''Popularity''' is an [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|Aspiration]] in ''[[The Sims 2]]''. Popularity Sims want to befriend as many people as possible. They like to meet somebody new, befriend them, make best friends with them, and eventually become BFF{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}} with them. This is a neverending cycle of friendship as they tend to want to be friends with anyone they've met. They also love to throw great [[Party|parties]], join [[Greek house]]s{{Vgversion|TS2:U}}, and have a good [[Reputation]]{{Vgversion|TS2:AL}}. Popularity Sims will want to befriend [[pet]]s too.
 
Besides the good friendship development, some Popularity Sims also have bad sides. They tend to want to win fights against their enemies.
Their biggest fears revolve around making enemies with other Sims and throwing bad parties.

==Tips & Tricks==
* It is not recommended for a Popularity Sim to have children, unless you want a challenge; as children and toddlers fear having parties and Popularity Sims want to have parties. On the other hand, they can make easy friends with their children.
* [[Townie]]s and [[Non-playable character|NPCs]] with the zodiac sign of Aries or Leo generally have this aspiration.
 
==Trivia==
*During Development this aspiration was variously known as either Reputation or Fame, before being settled on Popularity.
