Thanks to The Sims fansite SimsVIP, we got a chance to look at the aspirations and traits featured in The Sims 4. It's a pretty comprehensive list, but it was noted that the final list may vary since this is just an E3 "Create-a-Sim" demo.
It was also confirmed that Aspirations can be changed out at any time during the game. In the last game, Aspirations are pretty much set in stone and it would take much effort, points, and, cash to get it changed. This is a welcome change in the upcoming game.
While there are only 10 categories listed, some of them have sub-options that's related to the main one. For example, Deviance gives players the option to aspire to either be a Public Enemy or Chief of Mischief. It certainly adds variety to the game.
Here are the list of Aspirations:
• Athletic• Creativity• Deviance – Bonus Trait: Dastardly – Dastardly Sims perform stronger and more successful mean interactions
- Aspiration Option #1: Public Enemy – This Sim wants to make enemies and be a famous criminal Reward Trait: Mastermind – Masterminds know just the right things to say to cause anger, sadness, and jealousy in their opponents.
Additionally, the traits were shown as well and the list got to see a bit of description:
• Family Oriented• Foodie – These Sims become Happy and have Fun when eating good food, become Uncomfortable when eating bad food, and can Watch cooking shows for ideas.• Geek• Genius• Gloomy• Glutton• Good• Goofball• Hates Children• Hotheaded• Insane• Lazy• Loner• Loves Outdoors – These Sims can enthuse about nature to other Sims, and become Happy when outdoors.• Materialistic• Mean Spirited• Music Lover• Neat• Noncommittal• Outgoing• Perfectionist• Romantic• Self Assured• Slob• Snob
