Lifetime Wants
From The Sims Wiki, a database for The Sims series that anyone can edit
Introduced in The Sims 2 University, a Sim's Lifetime Want (or LTW) is a special want that represents the Sim's ultimate goal or something that would make his or her life "complete".
Lifetime Wants tend to be very difficult to complete during a Sim's natural lifetime. When one is fulfilled, a Sim will receive a very large amount of aspiration and influence points. Once a Sim has fulfilled a Lifetime Want, they will receive another Lifetime Want.
Without the FreeTime expansion pack, Sims who achieved a Lifetime Want will also receive a permanently platinum Aspiration bar. This in turn causes that Sim to have a permanently platinum mood and reach perma-platinum status.
If the FreeTime expansion pack has been added, the first Lifetime Want realized by a Sim will contribute to that Sim's Lifetime Aspiration score, but will not create perma-plat status unless the Sim is close to maxing out his or her Lifetime Aspiration Meter.

[edit] Lifetime Wants by Aspiration
A Sim's Lifetime Want is based on their aspiration. For example, a Sim with the Family aspiration will tend to have a family-related LTW, such as having a specific number of children or grandchildren, whereas a Sim with the Fortune aspiration will tend to want to earn a certain amount of money during his or her lifetime.

[edit] Player Tips & Tricks
- Theoretically, it is possible to have any individual Sim complete all of the Lifetime Wants without breaking the rules of the game, though this would take a fair amount of effort and liberal use of Aspiration rewards.
