'''Wants and Fears''' are aspects of a Sim's life in ''The Sims 2''. Wants indicate something that a Sim, well, wants. These wants can include having a child, wanting to get married, or just speaking with another Sim. A Fear however, is the downside to life. Sims gain [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]] points when they fulfill Wants, and lose them when they experience Fears.
Initially, a Sim is born with 4 Want slots and 3 Fear slots. However, when ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' was introduced, it allowed Sims to get a fifth want slot as a bonus for completing freshman year at [[college]], and to get a sixth as a bonus for [[graduation|graduating]]. If a Sim gets expelled, the Sim will receive a 4th Fear slot. Also, if ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'' is installed, a Sim can get an extra Want slot for 48 hours as a benefit from a good vacation.

== Examples of Wants and Fears ==
Each Sim will roll up different Wants and Fears. The type of Wants and Fears that rolls up is determined by many factors. These factors are mostly based on Sims' [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]], [[age]], and [[personality]]. They can also vary under certain circumstances or situations, such as [[relationship]], events, [[weather|seasons]]{{Vgversion|TS2:S}}, [[hobby]] [[enthusiasm]]{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}}, and many other things. Below is a list of some examples of the many kinds of Wants and Fears in the game.
*[[Toddler]]s will usually want to be taught [[toddler skills]] and interact with their parents. [[Child]]ren will want to do child-related activities, such as making friends, playing games, selling lemonade, and so on. Both may want to "Grow Up Well", meaning that their aspiration bar is in green, gold or platinum when they grow up. Both may fear their parents breaking up or a relative dying, though such fears are more common with toddlers.
*[[Young adult]]s, [[adult]]s, and [[elder]]s will roll Wants and Fears that are specific to their [[
*Relationships can also trigger some Wants and Fears. Sims, particularly those with the [[Popularity]] aspiration, will want to befriend certain Sims, such as the ones they bring home from [[school]] or [[Career|work]]. Once they're friends, they might eventually want to become best friends or BFFs{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}} with them. They sometimes fear of losing them as friends and becoming enemies with them. Sims who are in a romantic relationship, particularly those with the [[Family (aspiration)|Family]] aspiration, will want to be engaged and married, while [[Romance]] Sims prefer to have as many lovers as they can. Sims will also fear the [[death]] of their friends and lovers.
*Personality can determine some Wants and Fears, but usually they are just minor ones. For example, neat Sims sometimes fear using a public toilet, and sloppy Sims may fear changing diapers.
