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 those 2 EPs were only released for 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?
