| rdfs:comment | - Introduced in The Sims 2: University, a Sim's Lifetime Want (or LTW) is a special want that represents the Sim's ultimate goal or something that would make his or her life "complete". Children and toddlers do not have Lifetime Wants. After a child (or a PlantSim toddler) grows up, and his or her aspiration is chosen, he or she will receive a randomly selected Lifetime Want. As a rule, the Lifetime Want will not be selected until: 1.
* One of the Sim's wants is fulfilled 2.
* The player saves, exits to the neighborhood screen, and returns to that household.

Children and toddlers do not have Lifetime Wants. After a child (or a PlantSim toddler) grows up, and his or her aspiration is chosen, he or she will receive a randomly selected Lifetime Want. As a rule, the Lifetime Want will not be selected until: 1.
* One of the Sim's wants is fulfilled 2.
* The player saves, exits to the neighborhood screen, and returns to that household. Lifetime Wants tend to be very difficult to complete during a Sim's natural lifetime. When one is fulfilled, a Sim will receive a very large amount of aspiration and influence points. Once a Sim has fulfilled a Lifetime Want, they will receive another Lifetime Want. Without the FreeTime expansion pack, Sims who achieved a Lifetime Want will also receive a permanently platinum Aspiration bar. This in turn causes that Sim to have a permanently platinum mood and reach perma-platinum status. If the FreeTime expansion pack has been added, the first Lifetime Want realized by a Sim will contribute to that Sim's Lifetime Aspiration score, but will not create perma-plat status unless the Sim is close to maxing out his or her Lifetime Aspiration Meter. It will, however, max out the Sim's aspiration bar, and cause that platinum aspiration to decay very slowly.
