Thanks for pointing that out, Lamp. I added a delete tag. Since A morris is apparently on, she should delete it. Sparrowsong 20:53, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Why did they remove this?
but really does anyone know why they removed this? i think it would be a cool Aspiration!

If anyone knows why its removed please let me know(i doubt it that someone knows why but its worth a shot) TheRichie2 (talk) 11:32, November 2, 2012 (UTC)

Sims with Power aspiration
This has to end. Simply because a Sim doesn't have an aspiration (or aspiration with no icon), it doesn't mean they have the Power aspiration. Like I said in Talk:Grim Reaper: I don't want to risk my game by moving in the Grim Reaper, but here's what I think. As you know, there are a total of 8 possible, non-broken aspirations in game, including Grow Up. In SimPE, you can assign Sim's aspiration, and there are 9 choices, the other one is "None." From what I get, when you set Sim's aspiration to Power with Sim Modder, it will have no icon, just like some other Sims who don't have aspirations. IMO, some of the old edits refer Sims with no aspiration to have Power aspiration (like Ron Condor), but I think they simply don't have aspiration, just like the other Sims. Nikel Talk – Vote! 10:52, May 28, 2013 (UTC) Unless anyone rebuts, I say they don't have any aspirations.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  05:35, June 12, 2013 (UTC)

Power added back to sims with no aspirations?
Mate1234 is adding Power back to sims with no aspirations. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they were supposed to not have any aspiration, right? Again, if I'm wrong just let me know. Luigis1upstand (talk) 10:13, June 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * I thought so too, but it seems we're at a roadblock concerning Power Sims. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 15:17, June 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Before any further edit about Sims with Power aspiration, I want him to discuss about it first here. We've never been able to tell if Sims can even have this aspiration. I mean, we can't even distinguish Sims with Power and no aspiration.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  08:55, June 19, 2013 (UTC)

They actually have Power aspiration.
Ok, this is why do I think that they have that aspiration. I like experimenting with my game. I have created some Sims and gave them Power aspiration via Sim Modder. I also wanted to customize their memories with SimPe. I´m using Sim Browser to easily find those Sims (who have Power aspiration). When I clicked on Career tab, SimPe didn´t recognize their aspiration (SimPe isn´t made by Maxis, it´s made by the player, I have found that on ModTheSims), it was Nothing, just like Julius Caesar or Ron Condor. Also, if you resurrect Julius and age him back to adult, his aspiration level will usually be Cold fish, just like my Sims. And I have added Grim to my family, and he was Cold fish. So, please, stop doing this to me. Mate1234
 * When I resurrected Julius Caesar, his aspiration level was "Dirty Old Woman". Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 22:24, June 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Correct, it´s aspiration level for elders. And sims without aspiration cannot have aspiration level or lifetime wish. So, what do you think now? Mate1234
 * We really needed explanations like this all along, like how you discovered that they have the Power aspiration. Are you sure this discovery is legit? I mean, how can you tell the difference between Sims with no aspiration and Power aspiration?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  12:28, June 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, Sims without aspiration won´t have any wants or even aspiration level, though Power Sims just have missing aspiration icon. Can I now recreate Power Sims category and put Sims with Power aspiration there? Mate1234


 * And, can you delete Sims with no aspiration category? There are 2 reasons:
 * 1. In The Sims 2 and EP-s and SP-s, there aren´t any Sims without aspiration;
 * 2. When I saw that category, I have almost threw my laptop. Mate1234


 * Settle down, because this is pretty much new finding... or just rather odd. From your finding, does it mean you've never seen any Sims with actually no aspiration? You said there aren't any Sims without aspiration, so how did you know the difference?


 * Also, let's say if those Sims with allegedly no aspiration actually has the Power aspiration. This is a little difficult to understand if you have to rephrase and edit every single Sim that they actually have that hidden aspiration. Common readers might be confused because they're more easily recognized to have "no aspiration" due to the lack of icon. I think, it's better to mention in this article that "Sims who have no icon in their aspiration, in fact, have the Power aspiration, instead of no aspiration" or something. It's like syllogism afterwards.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  12:55, June 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, Sims who have aspiration will have wants and fears related to their aspiration. And I have used SimPe to resurrect all Sims from Sims with no aspiration category. They had some wants from Popularity and Fortune. I haven´t seen any Sim with no wants or fears. What should I do then? Mate1234


 * Sims with no wants and fears have no relation to the specific aspiration. You just need to wait until the wants re-roll, by using batbox for example. It may also be possible that those Fortune and Popularity wants are common wants? What are the example wants and fears? Do the wants have the "burst" icon on some specific wants like in the image?


 * This also makes me suspect that the Power aspiration itself is the same as no aspiration at all... There has to be a distinguishable difference between these two, or they're the same.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  13:22, June 20, 2013 (UTC)
