Wants and fears: Difference between revisions

*Some special or recent events can trigger several Wants and Fears. For example, Sims who are recently abducted by Aliens will roll either Want or Fear to be abducted again, as well as their relatives. A recent fire or burglary will trigger the Wants to purchase fire and burglar alarm, if the household hasn't yet owned one. Or, when [[pet]]s do certain behavior, such as scratching the furniture, the Sims will sometimes want to either praise or scold them{{Vgversion|TS2:P}}.

*Certain [[Hobby|hobbies]] will roll particular Wants that are unlocked when Sims reach certain level of [[enthusiasm]]. For example, Sims whose hobby is [[Music and Dance]] want to do simple things, such as dancing, playing musical instruments, or buying [[ballet barre]]. [[Nature]] hobby will produce wants such as [[Bug collecting|collecting bugs]], catching butterflies, [[Gardening#The Sims 2: Seasons|gardening]], [[Hiking and jogging|hiking]], and so on.{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}}

*[[Young adult]]s have certain Wants and Fears that are related to [[college]] life. This is mostly gained by [[Knowledge]] Sims. They will usually want to go to classes, do group research, write term paper, complete academic years, and graduate. They also fear to be put on academic probation or expelled.{{Vgversion|TS2:U}}

*[[Life state]]s also trigger some related Wants and Fears. For example, Sims will want or fear to become a [[Witch]] when they meet a High Witch and befriend them. The friends or relatives of Sims who are transformed into a certain life state will also want or fear to become one, and usually to cure them. Either it's a Want or Fear depends on Sim's aspiration; whether it's [[Knowledge]] or not.
