By filling their Lifetime Aspiration bar, a Sim gains aspiration benefit points. These points can be used to purchase aspiration benefits by opening the aspiration rewards panel and clicking on the Aspiration Benefits button. There are four areas in which these can be spent: motives, work, primary aspiration and secondary aspiration. Secondary aspirations are not available to Toddlers and Children, as a primary aspiration must be chosen first. Selecting a secondary aspiration uses an aspiration benefit point, and the player may choose to not give a Sim a secondary aspiration.
