==Split and rename==
I suggest ''The Sims 4'' section be split up into a different page. Technically, the aspiration in ''The Sims 4'' is a completely different concept from ''The Sims 2''. It's equivalent to [[lifetime wish]] and [[lifetime want]]. I think it should be separated because it basically has no relation with ''The Sims 2'' aspiration at all, other than the technical name.

:::I disagree. Regardless of whether or not it's a "core" feature, ''The Sims 4'' is going to be much more widely-played than ''The Sims 2'' when it releases, and that means more people will be looking for information on ''The Sims 4'' aspirations. So, when they search for aspirations, they're going to get redirected or "pushed" towards the TS2 aspiration information when they're really looking for TS4 aspirations. And if we do that, setting up a disambiguation page is almost essential, since it's not really a good idea to choose one or the other to be the "default" page that is linked to from ''Aspiration''. - '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 17:13, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

:Oh, I didn't notice your message here and renamed the page ahead. :/ Sooner or later this will be moved to Aspiration (The Sims 2) anyway. I guess I'd agree with your point to make a disambiguation page. We're gonna have to re-link all Aspiration to Aspiration (The Sims 2) in [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Aspiration?limit=500|here]] first. I suppose your bot can do that.

== Cuisine Hobbyists and Aspirations ==
 
So I've come upon the bright idea to make the ultimate Simmy foodie: University graduate, Neat and Lazy (so the Sim will probably get Cuisine as their One True Hobby), plus Pleasure and Grilled Cheese for their Aspirations.  Unless I switch things around once the Sim reaches their Junior year in college (or unless I have the Sim deliberately flub the use of a ReNuYuSenso Orb, if I'm feeling impatient), then Pleasure will probably be the primary Aspiration and Grilled Cheese will be secondary.  The Sim writes a Restaurant Guide, and Cuisine enthusiasm goes up.  The Sim cooks, serves, conjures, licks, breathes on or does anything to do with grilled cheese sandwiches, and Cuisine enthusiasm goes up.  The Sim eats ''anything'' (grilled cheese sandwiches or otherwise), and Cuisine enthusiasm goes up.  But all of this means a ''lot'' of eating, and both Grilled Cheese's Bottomless Stomach benefit and Pleasure's Fast Metabolism benefit together will mean far fewer trips to the treadmill in order to keep the Sim fit, assuming that the two benefits do indeed stack together.  (Or is Simmy obesity really not such a bad thing?)
 
But now that I think about it, ''would'' it be better to whip out the ReNuYu doodad as soon as I can and make Grilled Cheese the ''primary'' Aspiration for this Sim?  Each Sim gets all four benefits from their primary Aspiration, but they can never get the fourth benefit from their secondary.  And if I'm trying to keep Cookie Chef the Simmy gourmet chef happy, healthy and enthusiastic as all get-out about food, wouldn't Grilled Cheese 4 (Conjure Grilled Cheese) be considerably more useful than Pleasure 4 (Rowdy Folk Song)?  Or am I overlooking something here?  [[User:BloodyBay from YouTube|BloodyBay from YouTube]] ([[User talk:BloodyBay from YouTube|talk]]) 03:41, May 6, 2018 (UTC)

==Incorrect aspiration icon on grave==
hello i played the sims 2 and noticed something
 
when my sim died of old age in platinum level. the grave had fortune aspiration logo on it.
 
but the sim had the family aspiration when i played the game. is maybe the secondery aspiration but this sim had knowledge as his secondery aspiration.
 
what am i traing to say is how is this possible:
 
family and knowledge aspirations = fortune
