QUICK SIMS 2 ASPIRATION GUIDE By ur-backyard (don't wanna say name) E-mail: MuntZ_DucK@hotmail.com Copyrighted 2004 by me. Don't use this without my permission first. This is copyrighted and stuff and yeah whatever I'm not really good at these. Anyway...this is just a quick quide on Aspirations and stuff revolving around that. Well, yeah kind of. I'm going to do this all right now because it's not going to be a very long one. There's probably going to be no versions; I can't be stuffed doing that. I might do a few updates though. But who cares? First of I'll give you an intro. ASPIRATIONS: This time around in Sim history, your main priority (did I spell that right?) isn't taking care of your Sims needs, like getting your Sim to the bathroom, making 'em sleep, and getting them to the fridge before they die of starvation. There's this new thing called aspirations, and most of us have them. Well, basically, Sim now have their very own aspiration (is that good or bad?) and you're (again) in control. There are five aspirations you can Choose for your sim to have. They are: - Growing Up: Is only available to toddlers and kids. What this one is all about is growing up. - Fortune: Sims with Fortune aspiration want money, money, and what was that last thing? Oh yeah, money. - Knowledge: A sim who has a knowledge aspiration is the one who wants to know everything there is to know about all the things in their lifes (and other lives too). - Family: If you're Sim has a Family aspiration, all they want to do is get married, have babies, have more babies, have another baby, and keep the family happy. - Romance: The more relations the better for this Sim! - Popularity: All this Sim wants to do is be popular, know everyone in town or out of town, and have all the friends in the world. Pretty simple. Know, they are the aspirations you can choose for your sim. Here is a Personality Aspiration thing below. It'll show you what kind of personality your sim should have with what aspiration: Grow Up Look at other aspirations to see what your baby should have for that certain aspiration when they become older. Besides that, they should develop these skills, which are Creativity, Logic and if you want to Charisma. High Scoring Wants Get A+ Report Card: +3,000 Make a Best Friend: +4,000 Learn to Walk: +2,000 Get Potty Trained: +2,000 Learn to Talk: +2,000 Ask for Homework Help: +2,500 Fortune When you've built your house, the most obvious thing to do with a fortune sim is to get them a job, and a one that pays god. Also make them develop Creativity to help with making paintings and sellnig for money. Personality: Playful, Messy, Nice. A good match.

You may not know him (he's a cartoon character), but he loves science. A sim with a Knowledge aspiration can become a mirror Jimmy, only looknig different and pseaking different. Basically, if you don't know what I mean, sims with this aspiration want to be a really smart person and develop the Cleaning and Logic Skill. Personality: Neat, Nice, Serious.

Get in those Creativity, Cleaning and Cooking skills, as well as building a good relatinoship with all other members. Personality: Neat, Playful, Nice, Outgoing (that's a lot of skills. Put them all around 6 to have to Family sim wellk balanced).

Something around +50,000 I'm not really sure about that 30 lovers at once. I haven't had it before but it has that as a memory on SimPe and as a Romace Want, plus there's a rumour. Popularity Almost everyone has a friend who has a dream to become completely popular. Well, Sim can to. The need friends, friends, friends, friends, friends...the list goes on...Anyway, make sure you develop Charisma and Creatity with a Pop sim. Personality: Outoing and Nice.

It's worth it and it'll make you more happy. Kaching: $1000 Motherlode: $50000 Move Objects on/off: Move objects you can't usually move. Strecth Skeleton (number between 0.1 and 1.5, 1 being normal.) Set how tall your sim is. Intprop MaxNumOfVisitingSims (number 8 to 14): Use in neighbourhood, let more guests come to your parties. Boolprop testingcheatsenabled true: Do some cool stuff, don't go over the top with it though. Can stuff up your game if not careful. Once done this cheat, hold shift and click on things or your sims to do things. That's some cheats, not a lot. Go to the cheats section for a whole list of cheats. Okay, I'm glad that's over because my fingers a sore...really. Now I know what writing a short guide is like, let alone a loooooooong guide that others write. And that's it. I know it's short, but it was only supposed to be for Aspirations. If you're lucky, I might write a actual Sims 2 Guide, containing everything. But an expansion pack for the Sims 2 is coming out soon, I think it's called something University. We'll find out at about January 2005, and I can't wait! Anyway, I hope this guide has helped all of you who we're hoping that there was a guide dedicated to Aspirations. It took me a while actually to find out how much the High Scoring Aspirations were (I thought I wasn't going to do that), but oh well. I don't care. As long as it's done. Cya and be cool, and remember to make a family and kill them all to make a Graveyard. That's really cool. Oh yeah, that's the guide, so bye. Copyright MuntZ_DucK@hotmail.com
