| - Playable Sims can fill the bar by fulfilling wants, but fulfilling fears decreases the aspiration bar. In addition, a selectable Sim's daily aspiration bar will decrease gradually over time, unless he or she is sleeping, meditating, or at work or school. Also, the aspiration bar does not decrease while the Sim is in class. In general, the higher a Sim's aspiration level is, the more quickly it will decay. Learning the Lifelong Happiness life skill will reduce the rate at which the aspiration bar decays. The aspiration bar has a finite capacity, which increases as the Sim ages.

| - Playable Sims can fill the bar by fulfilling wants, but fulfilling fears decreases the aspiration bar. In addition, a selectable Sim's daily aspiration bar will decrease gradually over time, unless he or she is sleeping, meditating, or at work or school. Also, the aspiration bar does not decrease while the Sim is in class. In general, the higher a Sim's aspiration level is, the more quickly it will decay. Learning the Lifelong Happiness life skill will reduce the rate at which the aspiration bar decays. The aspiration bar has a finite capacity, which increases as the Sim ages. There are 6 aspiration levels. Each has its own name and description, which depends on the Sim's aspiration and life stage. The 6 levels are as follows, starting from the lowest to the highest: When the daily aspiration bar stays too low for too long, the Sim will perform desperate actions. If it hits bottom, the Sim Shrink will come to heal the Sim, and the aspiration bar will rise a little bit. Until FreeTime, accomplishing a Lifetime Want gives a Sim Perma-platinum status, in which the Sim's bar will remain at maximum until he or she dies. With FreeTime, fulfilling a Lifetime Want would reportedly boost the bar to platinum, and cause it to decay very slowly. In practice, many Lifetime Wants, even those for FreeTime careers, still refer to the Sim receiving perma-platinum, and it appears that fulfilling Lifetime Wants still grants it. When viewing a Sim in SimPE's Sim Browser, the level of his or her aspiration bar is shown by two scales. One, labeled "Blized", shows the current level of the aspiration bar, and runs from 0 to 1200. For toddlers, children, teens, and adults, it shows one-tenth of the Sim's current aspiration score. The other, labeled "Current", appears to reflect how long the bar will remain at its current level, and runs from 0 to 100. It will be at 100 if the bar is at maximum, and drops as the bar drops, but does not appear to be a percentage. Being able to view these scores is useful because a Sim's aspiration bar will occasionally be reset to a low green level when he or she is moved into a new lot, even if he or she had attained Perma-platinum. If this happens, the player can use SimPE to reset the Sim's aspiration level.
