Family, Oh Family Aspirations

Hello, hello!

I have for you 2 promised aspirations for children, last ones from my list, plus 2 other for teens and above, that I was working on long time ago and forgot about them. Since they all kind of revolve around family topic, hence the name ;)

  • Little Troublemaker

  • The Meanest Sibling

  • Big Sibling Goals

  • Family Time

1. Little Troublemaker - aspiration for children that focuses on making some troubles, mostly to parents ;)

Reward trait: Tiny Tornado - Sims with this trait learn mischief and comedy faster. They can also use the interaction Push Buttons and make other Sims angry, tense or embarassed.

2. The Meanest Sibling - also aspiration for children, as the name reveals, it's about making pranks to the siblings.

Reward trait: Master Menace - Sims with this trait become playful from time to time, when reacalling their own pranks. They can also perform Fake Apology interaction, which can remove other sim's anger and lift the grounding.

3. Big Sibling Goals - this aspiration is for teens and above, you can find it under Family aspirations category. It's all about being a great support and friend for younger sibling.

Reward trait: Sense and Responsibility - Sims with this trait can offer life tips to make someone inspired and maybe even teach them some life skills. They can also motivate with encouragement to make other Sims learn any skill twice faster.

4. Family Time - this is also for teens and above, and also to be found under Family aspiration category. It is a perfect aspiration for all Sims that want to connect with family members. I tried to make it universal, so it should work towards almost all family members, closest family, but not only, so also towards cousins, uncles, aunts, etc. I wanted something different than what we have already in game, something focusing more on spending time with the family all together. Of course the game put some limits on me, as always, but I am pretty satisfied with the result :)

Reward trait: Family Cheerleader - Sims with this trait can offer support to family members and remove their negative buffs. They can also rally family and boost everyone energy and fun.

I know it took me much longer than I planned, but I couldn't help it, it was a very busy period for me :( I struggled a lot to spend at least several minutes every day for modding , and it was very frustrating for me that I still didn't release what I promised. But finally here it is, and I must say, I am very happy from this result, especially from aspiration rewards this time :) But also from the general concept.

Hi! I'm getting better exceptions with this mod, tuning error

Hi, you need to send me the error file to my email: ilkavelle@gmail.com. Otherwise I can't help, because in my game it doesn't give any errors, so I don't know where to look for.

I don't know if this is a known issue (pr even a fixable one), but the Family Time aspiration isn't ticking things off for my sim other than with his adopted daughter. He has a wife and her parents who all show in his family panel but aren't recognized by the aspiration. It is fine, but I just wanted to let you know that it happens.

Hi, I'm not sure what can cause this issue. I just checked in my game, in my old save, and it worked with sister, wife and daughter. That is really weird that it's not working for you :(

Just a little suggestion, could Big Sibling Aspiration be for teens only? It's weird that both adult and elder sims can read to their siblings, spray under bed etc, who are probably teens, but most likely adults or older. :) And Teen aspirations could be in the Teen category of EA games. ilkavelle_TeenAspirations(originallyBySimmerJohn) is making a new Teen category and so there are two in the game. Thank you for these aspirations, I really waited for Meanest Sibling. :D

Hi, I know what you're saying but there were several reasons behind why I put it in the Adult Family category. 1. Teen category used by EA is only visible when someone has HSY pack. So if I put there this aspiration it becomes "HSY pack required" and not BG anymore. 2. If I use only my custom category, then people always ask me to put it in the EA Teen category too, cause they don't like too many categories :D so I'd have to create second version of this mod and it's difficult to maintain always more versions. Within last year I actually worked to reduce versions as much as I could. And 3 - in my mind it can be also completed by Young Adult who has a younger sibling, and unfortunately EA doesn't give such option for aspirations, it's only either Child Only, or Teen Only, or Teen + :( In general I though it's not that much of a problem, as we do have access to all werewolves and spellcaster aspirations even when our Sims are none of them.
