Each Sim will roll up different Wants and Fears. The type of Wants and Fears that rolls up is determined by many factors. These factors are mostly based on Sims' [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]], [[age]], and [[personality]]. They can also vary under certain circumstances or situations, such as [[relationship]], events, [[Weather (game mechanic)|seasons]]{{Vgversion|TS2:S}}, [[hobby]] [[enthusiasm]]{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}}, and many other things. Below is a list of some examples of the many kinds of Wants and Fears in the game. |
||
*[[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. |

*Some special or recent events can trigger several Wants and Fears. For example, Sims who are recently abducted by Aliens will roll either Wants or Fears of being abducted again; and their relatives and friends will also roll abduction-related Wants and Fears. A recent fire or burglary will trigger the Wants to purchase a fire or burglar alarm, if the household doesn't own one. When [[pet]]s do certain behaviors, such as scratching or chewing the furniture, the Sims will sometimes want to either praise or scold them{{Vgversion|TS2:P}}. |

*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.
