Which of these aspirations from The Sims 2 video game best describes yours?

Yes the last option is real. It's what happens when a magical item in the game, used to change your sims' desires, fails.

Knowledge sims get positive memories from seeing ghosts, Romance sims get negative memories from marrying unless the spouse is rich. Popularity may include political success.

Easily popularity or pleasure. I don't care about working myself to the extreme to rise through the ranks or know absurd things. I want to enjoy life and I want people to like me (even though I'm not always the best at making that happen Tongue).

Knowledge probably.  It's a default option.

Some mixture of knowledge and pleasure, I guess.

I wish to attain enough financial success that I can spend the rest of my time pursuing knowledge and eating grilled cheese.

To try to follow and serve God (sorry for being that guy but that ultimately has to be the point for a Christian).

Voted Eating lots of grilled cheese sandwiches since that is obviously the closest. Tongue

Family is probably the best of the other options, though knowledge seems to be the track I'm currently on.

Knowledge for the purpose of the poll from the descriptions of it in the game, with the sandwich in 2nd place.

Combination of the first three, I guess. The financial aspect is largely to support the family and to be a validation of the knowledge, not for its own sake. Tongue Hedonism and romance are for the short-sighted and weak. As TJ indicated, knowledge seems the most accessible right now, suffice it to say.

I think I've shifted from Knowledge to Family over the years but that doesn't mean I don't love learning.

Family, Pleasure. A bit of Romance, others I don't give a f*** about, well maybe a bit of knowledge.

Family.

I would say hedonism, but my idea of pleasure is sort of warped. I consider my main indulgences to be working out at gym or scrounging for election data. Not sure if those things would jive with the normal sense of the term.

Anyway who does not pick having a good partner, and circle of friends that are important to you, I suspect has a lot to learn about life. After that, for me is knowledge (and part and parcel with that, and far more important than that, is having a job that you actually enjoy doing - odd that one was not on the list). After that is hedonism for me. Only after that do we get down to money. The cliche about money not buying happiness (after you reach a certain minimal level), is just so true. For me, even though I have far more than my "fair" share, money really doesn't matter to me much. I quite enjoy living rather modestly. I always have. I know many, many very unhappy rich people. Yes, I really do.
