I'm wondering what everyone thinks the best Aspiration choice is. I'd also like some info on what would sort of last the longest. I'm going to be playing it soon, and I'm not sure what to choose. I'd assume Family would last the longest, and I've tried Pleasure aspiration but it just doesnt seem deep enough. I'm just buying stuff constantly and occasionally going out. Fortune is just me kind of building up wealth and reaching the top of my career (which isnt too difficult) and buying a gigantic mansion, which makes the game kind of short. I guess Popularity is just party party party, and Romance is just a double life. I may be wrong about the others, since I've only played Pleasure and Family, but, enough of my chatter, post away.

yes they do,, I think the best aspiration is the fortune one.. cuz it has many advantages.. I mean.. u can gain more simulation by achieving the aspiration goals, like having a great job to have more money and many more needs, but they are all acievable and easy to do for a sim and also it lasts for long time, romance is not bad too, but the best here is the fortune.

I hate Romance the most. Their lifetime aspirations are ridiculous - WooHoo with 20 (or 50) different Sims.
Usually I choose Family/Fortune. I found the Pleasure aspiration like, meaningless.

i dislike popularity and romance because i dont like doing partys (theyre just stressful) and romance is kinda boring. (meet new person, kiss new person, ... new person, meet new person etc).

fortune is also not my first choice because it's just about buying things and earning money.

so i go with the other two, but im really looking forward to sims3 which is gonna change this system (although it's more interesting than sims1)

I choose almost always from these four:

Fortune(is this the money aspiration? Im using The Sims 2 in Finnish, and its name there is something like money)

Family

Popularity

and last but not least, Knowledge

I sometimes choose Pleasure, but almost never Romance. Its pointless IMO.

All of them repetative and boring exept Knowledge. With that one, every time you experience something new there more new wants. Specialy recomend it if you have a lot of expansions as each adds new stuff, like weather, supernatural creatures, pets...etc. I am ignoring skillpoint leveling part because if you have Univercity you can easily come out with all of them maxed out and start out full.

On another hand, if you don't mind repetition and want something that will allow you to generate aspiration points quickly, i think Romance is very good. By getting double romantic desires on dates (kiss and makeout, whoohoo and whoohoo in bed for example), you quickly rack up the points so you can literaly have few hundred thousands of them within few days without having to work hard for it. Problem is, like other people say, its boring as hell as its always same thing over and over again (dirty joke, pillow fight, goose, make-out, whoohoo, repeat until its a dream date, end of date). But considering alternatives, its not a bad choice as it as i said, racks up those points very very quickly leaving you to do other things at your leasure.

For me, it's mostly Popularity and Knowledge I guess..

If you choose Knowledge, your Sim might want to see ghosts and aliens or learn new skills.. you know, get knowledge. lol

and if you choose Popularity, your Sim would want more friends and more and more best friends and a craving for Parties.

So I guess Knowledge is better then Pupularity maybe? I can't decide.. even though Pupolarity is kinda stressing..:roll:
