It determines if they grow up well or not. This aspiration works similarly to the Grow Up Lifetime Want from The Sims 2.

Child AspirationsĪll children in my game get the Grow Up Aspiration (get the mod here). I just choose the aspiration that I feel suits the Sim the best. I really don’t have a set-in-stone method I use for this. I choose my Sims’ main aspirations based on their traits, likes, reward aspiration, and any other information I have about the Sim.

I choose a Sim’s reward aspiration upon aging up to teen. You could end up with a Family Sim with a Deviance aspiration or a Popularity Sim with a Nature aspiration, etc. This adds a lot of personality to your Sims. If a Sim has an aspiration that doesn’t fit into any of these categories, I roll a random number between 1 – 6 to assign them a reward aspiration. I also use The Personality Mod, which gives Sims a reward aspiration tied to specific whims. I use the Lifetime Aspirations mod, which makes aspirations more like they were in Sims 2 and adds a lot of new ones. I play with the Normal Sims 4 lifespans, and make no changes to the duration of each life stage. *I used to auto-age unplayed Sims, but I found I preferred the Sims 2-syle aging, where townies and NPCs do not age unless I make them playable.

See “Rotations” section below for more information. I also play rotationally – meaning I play the entire neighborhood starting with one family and cycling through them all in rotations. Otherwise, whatever happens in their lives is totally up to them.

I only direct my Sims to do things that they have a whim for or to take care of their basic needs and keep them alive. I let my Sims fail, and many will not rise to the top of their careers or achieve their lifetime aspiration – just like in the real world. The Whim Overhaul Mod and Personality Mod are NECESSARY for this play style. They must “want” to do these things by getting a whim for them or doing them autonomously. This means I don’t force my Sims to do things like work on their careers, build skills, or pursue relationships. I play using a wants-based (or I guess in The Sims 4 we could call it whims-based) style.
