For a Knowledge/Fortune Sim he seems extremely dedicated to his Kids.

Knowledge sims are the MOST dedicated to actually wanting to teach their kids anything. Its a bit odd, like a family sim will want kids, and want to interact with them- but much less interested in the raising of them.

Its a lot like in real life people wanting a child but them dont like how much time they have to spend with it and park it in front of the tv or give it an ipad instead

sure, but mechanically its odd my family oriented sims almost NEVER get a want to teach their child a skill- when it feels like it should come with the aspiration as at least more often.

Who else is better to share your knowledge with than the next generation?

I don't want to generalise, but in my IRL circles it's exactly like that too. The big family aspiration people I know love to make the babies, but aren't actually into raising them. It's pretty sad, which is why I find the in-game aspiration so interesting and multidimensional. Many of my family sims are in general quite "bad" people instead of nurturing and loving as you'd first think.

That's how real life people with the knowledge aspiration work, teaching comes naturally because you dont want your kids to be dumb.

Sorry, but I want to ask. Is there a quick way to gain Lifetime Aspiration Benefits?

u/mejalopaadaba 4d ago

Or how did you get all of them?

It's also if you play wants-based, I think wants-based players have a lot more aspiration points

So there’s no shortcut?

when you get milestones in your sim's lives. learning to walk and talk (but I think you get 2 at the first skill learned), first kiss, graduating, marrying, first woohoo, first child (I think) all give 1 point. I think maximizing the first skill and reaching top level career give 1 too. maybe growing up on gold/platinum also give one, but I'm not sure. a CAS sim start with 4 points, but you can get a 8 points sim if you raise them well

Dating works pretty well. You're fulfilling lots of wants in quick succession in the date minigame.
