Just like with traits in the sims 4, aspirations are seriously lacking. At this point, the sims team has turned a majority of them into gameplay tutorials for the new packs. This is pretty lame for seasoned players like you and me.

One of my favorite parts of the sims 3 was how incredible the aspirations were. And there were SO many to choose from. Sadly, they didn’t continue that trend with the sims 4.

But once again, modders have saved the game by creating new sims 4 aspirations cc. Here’s a list of the absolute best custom aspirations for the sims 4, including child aspirations.

If you’re only looking for the custom sims 4 child aspirations, you can click here to scroll down to the child aspiration mod portion of this post.

This post is all about the best sims 4 aspirations cc & mods.

Sims 4 Custom Aspirations

If you’re looking for more aspirations for the sim 4 then you’ve come to the right place! I’ve included over 36 NEW aspirations, including teen and child aspirations, in this list for you to play with and explore. Let me know your favorites in the comments.

1. Sims 4 Whimsical Aspiration by PurpleThistles

sims 4 aspirations cc

This custom aspiration gives a lot more meaning to the whim system in the sims 4. With this aspiration, you’ll need to complete 100 of your sim’s whims. I like to think that this aspiration is perfect for that sim that likes to live their “life on a whim.” 🙃

But before you use this aspiration, you HAVE to download the whim overhaul mod that’s listed in my ‘mods I can’t live without’ post. Since the sims team up and abandoned the whim system, this mod will update the game with whims for all of the expansion and game packs.

2. Sims 4 Twilight Years Aspiration by KiaraSims4Mods

sims 4 elders aspiration

Elders have been unfairly ignored for a long time in the sims. I guess people don’t find them interesting to play with, but I think there’s a lot of potential there! This is the perfect aspiration for elders if you’ve been looking for some sims 4 elder mods to give them more depth and storytelling ability.

The aspiration basically takes your elders through different stages of their last days. The first stage focuses on cooking & baking. The next stage is centered around spending time with their grandkids. The third stage is all about maxing out their skills. And finally, the last stage, has your elder sim spending time relaxing through meditation and crafting.

3. Sims 4 Family Aspiration (TS2 Conversion) by jackboog21

sims 4 custom aspirations

This custom sims 4 aspiration is meant to replicate the family aspiration from the sims 2, which just so happens to be one of my personal favorite aspirations from the game. I absolutely LOVE family gameplay!

If you also enjoy watching your sims fall in love, get married, become parents, and all of the fun stuff that comes with starting a family then this aspiration is a must-download.

4. Sims 4 Culinary Librarian Aspiration by Keksdrache

sims 4 aspirations mod

This aspiration is inspired by the culinary librarian aspiration that came with The Sims 3. Since we no longer have recipe books, the aspiration is completely different but is still is a really fun way to add variety to the food aspirations category.

Your sim will need to learn all of the recipes that can be found in the various worlds and cook exotic meals like alien fruit tarts or Cowplant essence meringue pie. Obtaining the special ingredients will be quite a challenge!

5. Sims 4 Gold Digger Aspiration by MarlynSims

sims 4 aspiration mods

This sims 4 custom aspiration is PERFECT for storytelling. I actually previously talked about this aspiration in my 31 Best Trait Mods post because it comes with both a new aspiration and a new gold digger trait.

Your sim will need to do their very best to find wealthy sims to romance and mooch off of so that they can own the best of the best. This includes building a mansion fitted with a Schmapple Fridge and a Princess Cordelia Bed.

8. Sims 4 Lifetime Aspirations Pack by ky-e

sims 4 aspirations pack

This is a huge sims 4 aspiration mod that does a complete overhaul of the aspirations that come with the game. Plus it adds even more. Most of the aspirations involve reaching level 10 of a specific career field or woohooing lots of sims.

I personally enjoy completing the smaller, more unique goals that come along with aspirations so this doesn’t exactly fit my play style. But if you’re looking to achieve one mega goal for a legacy challenge or storytelling purposes, this mod would be perfect for you.

When I found this aspiration for sims 4, I was seriously SO excited. I loved running businesses in the sims 2 and I was really excited for it in the sims 4, but it just didn’t have enough gameplay depth for me.

This aspiration is essentially an entrepreneur aspiration and gives your sim the life goal of owning & running a successful business. It gave me the chance to play with the retail stuff all over again and I had a lot more fun this time around achieving the little goals along the way.

If you want to make running a business more fun in the sims 4, I highly recommend downloading this custom aspiration.
