Sims 4 Aspirations & Reward Traits (Guide) – 2023

Like in real life, aspirations refer to the life goals of your sim that they select on their own. There are certain tasks your character would have to complete to complete these aspirations. Once they do so, they’ll receive satisfaction points that they can spend towards rewards.

If you want, you can change your character’s lifetime goal whenever you want by pressing G on the keyboard and navigating to the menu. When you choose your first aspiration, that’ll decide your first bonus trait, and you can’t change that even after changing your goal. 

Now, this guide will let you know all about the several categories to choose your avatar’s Sims 4 aspirations and what all it’d consist of. Here’s everything you need to know.

Bonus Traits 

As I mentioned earlier, your aspirations would help you gain bonus traits for your character, and here’s a list of the categories and the attributes they offer you if you choose them. Also, if any of the aspiration objectives clash with each other, then you’ll gain a head start on those aspirations, but you won’t get rewards twice for it.

In addition, the aspirations that begin with “Become an Adult” only restrict children and teens from completing those goals. These avatars can only reach the Adulthood requirement.

Aspiration Category	Bonus Trait
Animal	Animal Affection: Your character’s relationships with animals would start at a higher level.
Athletic	High Metabolism: It’ll help your sims maintain their fitness and health.
Creativity	Muser: Your sim’s skills would boost whenever they feel inspired.
Deviance	Dastardly: These characters have the capability to perform evil interactions successfully.
Family	Domestic: Your avatar’s familial bonds would grow stronger quickly.
Food	Essence of Flavour: Characters with this trait are gifted when it comes to making food and drinks.
Fortune	Business Savvy: These sims become more wealthy through their business.
Knowledge	Quick Learner: They progress in learning skills quickly.
Location	Home Turf: An avatar with this attribute is happy around their neighborhood.
Love	Alluring: Such sims have better chances at romance than others.
Nature	Collector: Finding rare collectibles is easier for your avatar.
Popularity	Gregarious: These characters can build friendly relations quickly.
Star Wars	Prepared Voyager: Such characters can fill up their needs a little when traveling.
Wellness	Spa Membership: Your sim suddenly has a spa membership with no idea from where it came and who pays for it every year, or how to cancel it, but your character can enjoy free spas.
