Talk:Power (aspiration): Difference between revisions

 

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.

Anybody can see for themselves in SimPe that ''nothing''''' '''and ''power ''do not share the same aspiration value and because of that are not essentially the same and should not be treated as such. To check aspiration values, go into SimPe, go to sim browser and find any sim with a supposed ''power aspiration'' or unknown aspiration, then click more, then click extended browser, then scroll down until you see a line in the left panel that says "00000068; 0x002E: Aspiration", then on the same line in the right panel you'll see a panel with a value. These are the values of all aspirations, I'm going to list them in decimal form as it's a little easier to understand than binary or hexadecimal:

 

*Romance: 1

*Family: 2

*Fortune: 4

*Popularity: 16

*Knowledge: 32

I can't check Grilled Cheese, Pleasure and Power at the moment as I only have the base game installed presently but I do know they all have different values, can someone please check for me? To check Power just change a sims aspiration to power using Sim Modder, save the game then follow the process I listed above.
