Line 9:
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.
[[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. ''
== Fulfilling Wants and Fears ==
Line 36:
*[[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.
* [[Teen]]s tend to have school-related Wants and Fears like Children, though [[Knowledge]] teens will roll them more frequently then others, and wants related to their aspirations. They will also tend to want their First Kiss regardless of aspiration, although [[Family]] and [[Romance]] Sims want it more often. Family Sims will also want to Go Steady with someone. [[Fortune]] Teens will want to get a part-time job, and most Teens will want to go to college. {{Vgversion|TS2:U}} and Knowledge teens in particular will Fear not going to college, and often go into aspiration failure on aging to adult if they don't. Teens may also want to Go Out or Sneak out with their friends.
*[[Young adult]]s, [[adult]]s, and [[elder]]s will roll Wants and Fears that are specific to their [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspirations]] and [[secondary aspiration]]s. [[Knowledge]] Sims want to gain many [[skill]]s and [[Alien abduction|be abducted]] by [[Alien]]s. If they have children they will usually roll wants to teach them toddler skills and for them to get good grades in school. [[Romance]] Sims want to do romantic socials with many Sims and develop relationships with them, but fear lifelong commitments. [[Fortune]] Sims want to gain promotion and earn a lot of money, but often fear the [[Repo-man]] and [[burglar]]y. Family Sims will want to get married and have multiple children and grandchildren. Pleasure Sims {{Vgversion|TS2:NL}} will want to go on dates and play around.
*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.
Line 42 ⟶ 43:
*Certain [[Hobby|hobbies]] will trigger particular Wants when Sims reach certain level of [[enthusiasm]]. For example, Sims whose hobby is [[Music and Dance]] want to do simple things, such as dancing, playing musical instruments, or buying a [[ballet barre]]. [[Nature]] hobby will produce wants such as [[Bug collecting|collecting bugs]], catching butterflies, [[Gardening#The Sims 2: Seasons|gardening]], [[Hiking and jogging|hiking]], and so on.{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}}
*[[Weather|Seasons]] can also affect Sims' Wants. In [[Spring]], Sims mostly want to do romantic socials, as well as going on a [[Dating|date]]. In [[Summer]], Sims may want to have a water balloon fight. And in [[Winter]], Sims will want to do many snow-related activities when enough snow is accumulated on the ground, [[giving gift]]s, and interact with relatives.{{Vgversion|TS2:S}}
*[[Young adult]]s have certain Wants and Fears that are related to [[college]] life. College Sims, particularly [[Knowledge]] Sims, will have Wants to go to classes, do group research, do an assignment or write a term paper, complete academic years, and graduate; and Fears of being put on academic probation or expelled. [[Popularity]] Sims will often roll the Want to join a [[Greek house]] and become Big Sim on Campus.{{Vgversion|TS2:U}}
*[[Life state]]s also trigger some related Wants and Fears. For example, Sims will want or fear to become a [[Witch]] when they meet a High Witch and befriend them.{{vgversion|TS2:AL}} The friends or relatives of Sims who are transformed into another life state will either want to cure them or fear that they will be cured, and may also want or fear becoming that life state themselves. These will be Wants for [[Knowledge]] Sims, and Fears for others.
*In some cases, Sims might roll the same Want and Fear at the same time, such as having a baby, getting engaged or married, or becoming a particular [[Life state|creature]]. This is often caused by a [[secondary aspiration]], though [[Family (aspiration)|Family]] Sims may Want and Fear having a baby even without ''FreeTime''. This usually happens when the Sim has several young children already. Also, if a Romance Sim is on a date, they will sometimes end up having both a Want and a Fear of getting engaged.
