'''Wants and fears''' (known internally as '''SWAF'''<ref>http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=SWAF</ref>) 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. With ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', Sims could receive a fifth want slot as a bonus for completing freshman year at [[college]], and a sixth if they [[graduation|graduated]]. 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.▼
[[Wish]]es in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and [[whim]]s in ''[[The Sims 4]]'' are similar to wants, but there is no equivalent to fears in ''The Sims 3'' or ''The Sims 4''.

Wants and fears can also be fulfilled with the use of cheats. Ctrl-clicking on any want or fear while the [[testing cheats]] are active will cause that want or fear to be fulfilled. This can be used to resolve issues with wants not being fulfilled even after the necessary prerequisites for achieving them have been completed.

==Aspiration and influence points==
Fulfilling wants will increase the [[aspiration bar]] by a set amount, and in many cases will also increase the [[Influence|influence bar]]. Fulfilling fears will, similarly, decrease the aspiration bar by a set amount, even to the point of [[aspiration failure]], and in many cases will also decrease the influence bar. Wants and fears

▲Sims also receive aspiration reward points as they fulfill their wants. These points can be used to "buy" [[Aspiration reward (The Sims 2)|aspiration rewards]]. Aspiration reward points are only lost when used, they are not lost when Sims fulfill fears, and do not fluctuate with the aspiration bar. Influence points can be used to "buy" influence options.
