Adults have general wants and fears. However, they will often want to gain skill points and max out skills, and to buy skillbuilding objects. They may also want to experience things that other Sims would not want, and may even fear, such as seeing a [[Ghost#The Sims 2|ghost]] or being abducted by [[Alien abduction|aliens]]. This could indicate that Knowledge Sims are slightly braver than most other Sims. If [[The Sims 2: Pets|Pets]] is installed, they may want to see a wolf, and even become a werewolf. If [[Seasons]] is installed, they may even want to be struck by lightning.

Knowledge
File:Alien baby1.jpg
A sim with his alien baby.

Knowledge

The Knowledge aspiration causes Sims to want to know everything there is to know about anything. It is in The Sims 2; The Sims 2 and The Sims 2 Pets (console) for consoles; The Sims 2 for PlayStation Portable; and The Sims Stories.

Version comparison

In the Windows and Mac OS X versions, the Sim will fear losing their creature status. Mac OS X has the same Wants and Fears as Windows with the exception of Wants and Fears introduced in FreeTime and Apartment Life since the 2 EPs are only released on Windows.

The Sims Stories has the same Wants as The Sims 2 except that Fears are not included.

Unlike their Windows/Mac counterparts, Knowledge Sims in The Sims 2 console versions don't fear losing their creature status, but the wants and fears are similar.

In The Sims 2 for PlayStation Portable, having the Knowledge aspiration gives Sims Knowledge-only Perks and Knowledge Goals.

Tips & Tricks

  • Knowledge Sims make good love matches for Family Sims, as they will usually want to get married and have at least one child.
  • Knowledge Sims are also the only Sims who do not fear becoming a special being (Vampire, Werewolf, etc). In fact, it can be used to boost their aspiration, curing it when it is no longer a fear to be cured. The want to become a special being is probably due to the fact that they want to know more about them, and what better way to learn about them than by being one?
