The Battle of the Aspirations
Motoki:
I hate knowledge. I am SO sick to death of them constantly wanting to be saved from death (um unless force the issue yourself it's pretty damned rare) and see a ghost, even if the damned house has no tombstones. It's not as bad for uni graduates, but for ones who aren't, that's pretty much almost consistantly half their wants. :P

I love Romance sims, because I'm a Romance sim in real life :D.
I also love Knowledge sims, because most of my friends and both my partners are Knowledge sims :).
I hate Family sims, because in real life I have very little interest in children. I'm slightly more interested in them in the game, but nowhere near as much as most of you. The majority of my families are adults only - sometimes adults with teens, but the only family with actual children I play regularly is the Specter household, which in my game has Olive Specter, her husband Scot (former handyman), her son Nervous Subject, his husband Pascal Curious, and their two alien children. Having the grandparents around and a stupid amount of money makes their game weird and a bit different. Other than that, kids are a novelty.
Fortune sims? OK, but not my sort of people. (We live in a house that's furnished entirely from Ikea - and frequently boggle at the prices of furniture in other shops. Why pay £1500 for a sofa when it won't last any longer and looks no better than one that cost £300?).
Popularity sims? Yeah, I quite like them. Their needs are very similar to the way I used to play sims in Sims 1, where most of my families were friends with everyone else in the Neighbourhood. So I find them easy.
Pleasure sims? Haven't played them yet, as I only got Nightlife yesterday.

:o
Don't know if I even want to go there. And remind me not to go clothes shopping or near a photobooth with you. ;)

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 the knowledge sims. The saved from death want is definitely annoying, as is the get abducted one. That one usually pops up after a knowledge sim has been abducted, but with TJ's little tweak, not a big problem for the females, for the males I just ignore that want (I play on a one baby maximum, if they want more they have to get lucky and have twins). Ignoring that particular want, or any annoying knowledge want, is not a big deal, with all their skill wants, they usually go permaplat very quickly. The ghost want I have no problems with.... you know... the unfortunate incident with the townie....I don't know why it happens in all of their houses officer.... what cow plant?...ahem...
I don't like the family sims, mainly because of their wants (one baby max, remember?), and also because romance sims and knowledge sims make far superior parents, at least in my game.
I like the romance sims because they make the game more interesting, especially with NL.
The fortune sims are just plain funny. They provide the comic relief in my style of playing.
I don't know that much about the pleasure sims yet, to new.
