Welcome to our Sims 4 Aspirations Guide! You may have already started the game through our Getting Started section, and you have seen there that you’ll need to provide your Sim with an Aspiration when creating them. As discussed there, we know that your Sim can have life goals from different categories.

In this guide, we’ll be covering the specific aspirational goals under those categories. We hope that our guide will help you learn about the different objectives that are needed in order to complete a specific aspiration. There are many available in the game, so let’s get started!


Aspirations Recap

When creating a sim, you’re required to provide them with an aspiration from the different categories available: Athletic, Creativity, Deviance, Family, Food, Fortune, Knowledge, Love, Nature, as well as Popularity. Additionally, there are also Location Aspirations from expansions/packs, as well as Children's Aspirations. If you went straight to this guide to learn more about Aspirations, please take note that we have provided an overview about what aspirations are through this following guide:

Giving your Sims Aspirations

To recap, Aspirations are your Sim’s lifetime goals and dreams. Your task is to help them achieve these by completing the requirements in their aspirations. In return, you’ll be provided with Satisfaction points that you can use in the Reward store for great consumables and reward traits. We have compiled a list of rewards available using your satisfaction points through our following guide:

Since there are many kinds of Aspirations to choose from, you can change them at any time you wish by pressing ‘G’ while in live mode. But it’s good to complete a specific aspiration that you have chosen first since you’ll get a reward trait as well.


Are all Aspirations included n the base game?

If you’re starting out, and you only have the base game of the Sims 4, please take note that not all Aspirations will be available. There are numerous packs that have been provided throughout the years that provide with content and themes. Some Aspirations in the game will match these and you can only access them if you have that specific pack or expansion.
