Wants and fears: Difference between revisions

Sims in different circumstances will have different Wants and Fears, appropriate to their age level. A [[toddler]], for example, will roll up Wants to be potty trained, or taught to walk, a [[child]] Sim may fear their parents breaking up or death, an [[adult]] will roll up Wants to be friends with Sims around them.

[[Relationships]] with other Sims will also change Sims' Wants and Fears about them. Sims who are just becoming [[friendship|friends]] will typically fear being rejected for a simple [[social interaction]]; as the relationship progresses, this fear will be changed for a more complex interaction or fear of the Sim's [[death]]. If a sim has an enemy he/she will tipically want a bad thing to happen to that sim.

Similarly, Wants and Fears tend to be influenced by a Sim's [[aspiration]]: a Sim with a [[Knowledge]] aspiration will tend to want to gain [[Skill|skill points]] or maximize a skill and fear losing skill points, whereas a [[Romance]] Sim will want to [[WooHoo]] with almost everyone around them and fear marrying, while a family sim willwant to flirt with a sim, marry and have kids.
