I like the knowledge sims. The saved from death want is definitely annoying, as is the get abducted one.
Oh yes, forgot about that part. Once one person in the neighborhood gets abducted they all want to be abducted and often want family members to be abducted too. Same thing with zombies and vampires too. Once one person becomes one, they all want it. The zombie wants still don't even work either. :P

I prefer playing knowledge sims.. they are easy to play and keep their wants high. But if I were to catagorize myself.. I'd fall into the Family aspiration.
I hope that in Sims 3 (yeah, I'm thinking ahead) that you can have 2 aspirations.. or at least more ways to change your aspiration in the game without resorting to cheats.
You've fulfilled your LTWs .. you've been both Hero and Master Criminal.. now it's time to try to woohoo 20 sims before dying ;D

I Like Romance Sims,Popularity Sims,Family,and Pleasure Sims .Fortune drives me insane because they roll the same wants over and over and over again. Knowledge sims constant want to see a ghost I have solved I send them on a nightly Jaunt to the cemetary where I have 8 dead sims in repose. to be saved from Death takes alot more work and the insimenator. other than that they are fairly easy to keep happy. as far as LTW's go career wants are relatively easy to fulfill as long as your sim has high skill levels the top of the chosen career isnt to far in the distant future.for my Romance Sims if they roll a Career LTW first I leave it alone so they reach perma plat easily. I save the woohoo wants and such til after they are permaplat. the best parents in the game Ironically is the Romance sim. I didnt use to think so until I got Justin and his children from Brynne and his father. My Romance sims love their kids to no end and as long as their wooho wants are met you see a lot of wants roll for their kids. Justin is permaplat in my game as is his father So I see alot of family oriented wants. come to think of it I have alot of perma plat's on my custom hood. Grilled cheese is hysterical as you watch the poor sim go through their day driving other sims crazy talking about grilled cheese sandwiches and serving up platters of the sandwiches to sims who arent hungry and never eat them they will even serve a sim they are furious with a grilled cheese sandwich,I tested the aspiration on a college dormie to see what would happen and I laughed so hard I almost fell off the chair . I have since changed her back to her original aspiration

I like all the original aspirations, but Pleasure and Cheese don't do much for me. I've only run one sim with the Pleasure aspiration and I had a terrible time keeping her in the green. All she wanted to do was blow bubbles all day. >:( And Cheese is just monotonous. :(
I'd love to see a different "backfire" aspiration instead of Cheese - something more like Psychotic. Big points for making enemies, getting into fights, getting caught cheating, pranks, drinking the essence of other sims, and making zombies; major fears of making friends, getting hugged, having a good conversation, etc. ;D

I have a pleasure sim at Uni and she is easy to keep happy. she is content as long as she gets to go downtown and have some fun..her inventory is chocka block full with gifts from dates she has been on. the only sims i keep her away from are Vampires. as she frequents night clubs where they go. and I keep an eye out for Mrs. crumple bottom who can spoil a dream date in a hurry and knock it down to great date with her whacking she does with the purse. I must say buying a toy for a college dorm seemed a bit odd but oh well she has her toybox and is happy

Knowledge sims are simply the easiest sims to play in the game for me. All of their wants are reasonable. And the only time they ever want to buy anything is when they want to upgrade their bookcase or telescope. (of course, now with NL they also want to buy a car. But any old car will do for them)
I like Family sims. They have managable wants. And often find themselves paried up with a Knowledge sim in my game because the two make a good match. Though they do annoy me sometimes. Like when the Knowledge and Family sims have romantic wants for each other. The Knowledge sim will spin Talk to, Flirt with, Kiss, Make Out, and Whoohoo in that order. But the Family sim will more likely then not spin Talk to, Flirt with, Kiss, then throw a big monkey wrench into the works and have every want spin up with Tell Dirty Joke, Play with, Appreciate, and so on, totally killing the mood for the poor Knowledge sim. They're nothing but damn teases. >:(
Fortune sims are manageable. They're quick and to the point when it comes to job promotions. Only wanting to make the exact number of friends and gain the exact number of skill points for that promotion. And I like that aspect of them. What I don't like is when they spin up a want for something that let's say costs $3000 and they only have $2000. Where's the scense in that? And they constantly want to upgrade everthing on the lot to the next highest dollar amount, totally screwing up the family's net worth and forever dooming them to live in that cramped up starter house. But hey, at least it has a lot of nice trees! On second thought, I don't really like Fortune sims. If I had let Jennifer Burb have her way the Burbs wouldn't be living in the nice house that they are living in now that had the space they desperatly needed.
Popularity sims? Meh... They're less annoying than some others though. They're a nice alternative to Romance sims. They have most of the same wants, they just don't want to Woohoo everything that walks by.
Romance sims? I have absolutely no use for these guys. I mean whats the point them? They offer nothing to the rest of the nieghborhood except for causing drama in the other families in the form of infidelity. And you pretty much HAVE to do this to keep them happy. I have better things to do...
Pleasure sims? If they didn't keep spinning up stupid wants like Watch TV, Jump on Couch, and whatever and actually want to do something usefull I might like them a little more.
And lastly Grilled Cheese... Hey, at least their wants are easily fufilled. And they're compatible with all of the other asperations.
Wow, didn't know I would go off on such a tangent there... At least I made my point I guess. :-\
