Aspiration Mods

1.) Fragile Permaplat by Cyjon

Every hour, during aspiration decay, this mod examines playable sims on the lot. If a permaplat sim is brought below platinum status by having major Fears realized, this mod will remove permaplat status and display a message to inform the player. In this new version, permaplat WILL be lost if the sim’s Lifetime Aspiration (from Freetime) is maxed out. The mod also reduces LTA points to prevent permaplat from immediately recurring. Each age band has wider aspiration bands than the ones before, so it’s harder to break permaplat in older sims. Elders cannot be driven out of permaplat by any single Fear I know of, though experiencing a major Fear followed by a minor Fear can be enough to break them. Adults can be broken by any of the 5,000-point Fears such as death of a loved one. Children and teens who manage to get permaplat, typically through wishing for Peace of Mind with the genie lamp, can be broken by smaller fears, though I’m unsure of the actual minimum value.

2.) Free Time LTW Fixes by Cyjon

Changes some of the aspiration categories for lifetime wants that apply to the new careers in FreeTime.
– Architecture – Knowledge, Family
– Dance – Popularity, Romance
– Entertainment – Popularity, Wealth
– Intelligence – Knowledge, Wealth (no change)
– Oceanography – Knowledge, Wealth (no change)

3.) Grilled Cheese Love Cooking Channel by Cyjon

The favorite channel for grilled cheese sims will be the Yummy Channel regardless of age.

4.) LTA Platinum Fix by Cyjon

Causes aspiration bar to fill immediately when earning permaplat status for a full LTA bar. This mod is necessary only if you are using Fragile Permaplat without also using Slower LTA Gain.

5.) No Community Stock Market by Cyjon

Sims who have the Investing aspiration benefit will no longer get stock market results while on community lots.

6.) Partial Financial Advice by Cyjon

Sims offering financial advice on the computer will be paid for the partial hour if the command is canceled.

7.) Personalit-O-Nomitron by Cyjon

Allows you to use aspiration points to change a sim’s personality. This device, found under Electronics/Miscellaneous* for $1, looks like the Resurrect-O-Nomitron. When you click on it you get up to three menus: Increase, Decrease and Restore. Increase allows you to increase a personality point for 30,000 aspiration points. Decrease allows you to lower a personality characteristic for the same cost. Restore replaces a personality point lost to zombification, lycanthropy, the SimVac, or any other means. Restore costs 15,000 aspiration points. These changes are instantaneous. The device works in whole personality points whenever possible but in cases where it needs to change a partial point (due to lycanthropy personality changes or Encourage actions) it will take a proportionate number of aspiration points.

8.) Slower LTA Gain by Cyjon

Significantly slows and balances the gain of Lifetime Aspiration (LTA) points. Babies don’t get LTA points because they don’t have aspiration levels. Young Adults don’t get LTA points because college is WAY to long compared to the rest of the sim lifetime and it was too hard to balance both. LTA points scale with age duration. So if you are using a mod that changes age length, like 8-Day Teens, the hourly LTA rate will adjust so sims will receive roughly the same number of LTA points over a lifetime as a sim using the default age lengths. Under this system it is effectively impossible to max out LTA before becoming an adult, or even early in the adult phase. When LTA platinum is reached, it will usually be by elders.

9.) Wealth LTWs by Cyjon

Sims with the Fortune aspiration can roll up the lifetime wants to max out Journalism, Music or Show Business.

10.) Relative Got Joined Union Memory Fix by Lenna9

In the unmodified game, when a Sim with a Romance aspiration joins union with a same-sex Sim, their relatives receive a memory of a completely random Sim from neighborhood joining union, not the correct one. This mod fixes that.

11.) No LTA Permaplat by Kestrellyn

In Free Time, sims go permaplat very early in their lives because they max out their LTA points. You also probably noticed that if you unset the permaplat status of a sim with maxed LTA points, they just become permaplat again a little while later. This is because the game checks every single sim hour for LTA permaplat. This hack stops that from happening, by modifying the BHAV that makes this check (0x100F in group 0x7FA2EBEF). Sims still gain LTA points at the normal rate, those LTA points just do not cause permaplat status. When you install this hack, it will not immediately affect any permaplat sims. You will have to manually unset the permaplat status or any sim you want to be non-permaplat with the lot debugger.

12.) 50 New Lifetime Wants for Sims 2 by Lamare

50 custom lifetime wants with icons, memories and all. A few slight, but needed gameplay changes are highlighted in notes as Extra edits.

13.) Lifetime Want Chooser by Lamare

This object lets you manually choose a lifetime want for your sim. No cycling one by one, just pick from a list! Has an option to ignore restrictions and choose an LTW that isn’t normally available to a sim of certain aspiration. All known lifetime wants are updated and have slightly changed prerequisites to consider interests and hobbies, as a side bonus.

14.) LTW Icons Fixed by Lamare

Resized and edited icons for lifetime wants from Pets, Seasons and Free Time, to make them the same size and shape as original lifetime want icons. With these, there will be less cutting off icons when you hover over sim’s LTW. They will still act a little wonky when you hover over them many times.

15.) Immaturity For More by Midge The Tree

Children with low aspiration will often act more immature than when they are in a happy mood. This modifies that so children are more likely to act immature without their aspiration needing to be as low.

16.) No Comfort Drop Conjure Grilled Cheese by Midge The Tree

A mod that prevents a sims comfort bar from going down when grilled cheese sims conjure a grilled cheese sandwich. Sims with low comfort will not be able to conjure sandwiches.

17.) Stoicism Patch by Sim Logical

Stops some of the more bizarre low-aspiration level behavior such as talking to turnips.

18.) Display Aspiration Score Changes by Squinge

This mod stops the game from resetting NPC & townie Sims aspiration scores,it also displays the score change when they get a want or a fear fulfilled, see screenshots.

19.) No Jealousy for Romance or Pleasure Sims by Squinge

This mod prevents jealousy when any sim that has the pleasure or romance aspiration is involved in any romantic interactions as long the romance or pleasure sim is the one that starts the romantic interaction.

20.) No More Reacting To Romance Sims by Squinge

This mod stops all sims from reacting to romance sims.
