The Battle of the Aspirations
seventhson:
I love Knowledge Sims. Especially as parents - they always want to teach the little ones, and they don't want a bazillion kids. Family is my other favourite, although the 'have a baby' want drives me insane after a while, and Grilled Cheese is just hilarious.
A lot of aspirations drive me batty. Fortune - for the love of the gods, just use the things you've got! Popularity - all those phone calls. Pleasure - just pick one thing and stick with it!
Romance Sims tend to die in my game. Especially townies and other NPCs. I become vicious and the next thing you know they've forgotten to eat, or a satellite's fallen from the sky, or the gate to the cowplant was accidentally left in.

I used to hate Romance sims now I see an awesome side to them since I have six in my hood three of which are happily married and two who have kids . they are super parents if given a chance
Rascal:
I like all the aspirations but my favourites would be knowledge and romance. Knowledge sims are so adaptable - they are quite happy on their own but make great spouses and parents to any of the other aspirations. My Legacy families always start with a knowledge sim.
Romance sims are fun and I find if you marry two romance sims they keep each other very happy with constant flirt/makeout/woohoo wants. I agree they make great parents.
Fortune are easy (except for all the damn shrubbery!) and unlike knowledge sims actually want to get skill points they need.
I like to put family sims with knowledge or fortune and occasionally with another family sim - but only if I want a huge family.
Popularity sims are probably the hardest for me to play but my current favourite sim is a teenage boy popularity. Everyone loves him!
One thing I have found is that when a couple have been married for ages, especially if they are elders, all the aspirations are pretty much the same. They all want their kids to do well, and to flirt/kiss/woohoo with their partners.

Ok, let me be different then: I love popularity sims. They are fun, get along with everyone and are great parents. And with autoyak they are a breeze to play.
Knowledge sims used to be my favorite, now they bore me. Too quiet and concerned with skill building. Family sims are fun and lovey and I like kids so that keeps them happy. Fortune sims are easy to play and keep happy. I rather like those.
Romance and Pleasure? Haven't made my mind up yet. Need to play them more to see how they act with NL. I have several of them, but haven't played them much.

I think Romance sims are fun if you want a whole 'hood full of cheaters; otherwise they are just a pain. I like popularity sims, but I think that is just a function of how I play because I like all my playable sims to be friends with one another. Family sims often seem easy but become tedious and demanding - the majority of their LTWs are not acheivable until they become elders (this is one reason to like the popularity sims, since the LTW of having 20 best friends can easily happen to a teen).
I tend to go through stages of preferring one aspiration over another; it really depends on how I am playing the game.
