Talk:Power (aspiration): Difference between revisions

Is Power simply being used to (inaccurately) describe lack of aspiration? From a technical standpoint they are the same thing, sure. If you give a Sim Power through the Sim Modder it sets it to Nothing in SimPE, a trait which is shared by universal Sims and those lacking character data. No aspiration rolls wants randomly from Reputation and Romance. I realize it may be a stylistic choice to categorize them this way more than anything at this point, if Power is being used to refer to Sims with no aspiration data. From a factual standpoint, however, it is not the case that Sims such as the Reaper, deceased premades etc. were designed with this aspiration. You can of course argue (I have seen this topic discussed before) that this is all conjecture, and nobody really knows for sure what went on during development, but surely Occam's razor would apply in such a situation. I'm not suggesting it all be changed or anything after all this time, just found it a bit odd that Sims lacking character data are instead described as having a scrapped aspiration which has little to do with their data. Whilst there is seemingly no difference within the game itself,listing them as power instead of no aspiration isn't quite accurate. I would maybe suggest that some information be added to this page eventually to improve the accuracy a little bit, but of course you all have the final say in the matter.
