Spa Day added 3 new Aspirations and unlike most of the other Aspirations, they made it more like a Life Goal instead of smaller steps to achieve... And its less like a Tutorial and provides a little bit more of a long lasting challenge.

I have more fun fufilling these kinds of aspirations. I hope every Aspiration gets the same kind of refresh

I was actually using a mod to make them more like lifetime goals but recently removed it because I was worried that it might mess up my long term save if it ever broke and the creator was not around to keep it updated.

Because people like different things, I don't object to having other aspirations in a different style, but do hope existing ones remain as-is. The tour-guide/tutorial aspirations have a place. So do long-term, staged family aspirations that engage a Sim from the beginning of parenthood to being a grandparent.
More ways to play is always beneficial - but removing old systems for new ones, not so much.
Like I said I'm perfectly okay with variety and options.. but don't stop the ts4 style aspirations either. Or take away things that were (looking at you food bites) without giving "options"
I liked aspirations the way they were 😌
And remember this above all. Our Roman gods are watching. Make sure they are not ashamed!

I do think the more powerful reward traits should be locked behind multi-step aspirations, but shorter aspirations could unlock some more pinpointed goals. We'll have to see what they do with it.
Aspirations_Complete_Current_Milestone for a full Aspiration for my sims. It's so fun.
I think "read to a child or two hours" is a good step, because it's not something my sims normally do but it fits the aspiration well. So it guides them to the direction that they're supposed to be interested in. Only thing I'd change about that step is make it 10 hours because I like challenge.

Take bestsellers in the Bestselling Author aspiration, for example: If your sim writes one before reaching the final milestone of the aspiration, it simply doesn't count. Why not? As a writer in real life, I can tell you that I would appreciate a bestseller no matter when in my "aspiration" I manage to write one, and that can apply to other things, too. I bet there's celebrities out there who would rather give autographs to fans before being asked for selfies, but the game has decided that it must happen the other way around in order to count for the aspiration.
Problems we wouldn't have if we just got a long list of all things we have to accomplish to finish an aspiration, rather than four lists with fewer points each...
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
I use aspirations all the time. I have some that almost all my Sims work through and others that it depends on how I see the Sim and what I think their life should be like.
I do get it that some people want their Sim to have only one aspiration for their entire life, but then they should just not change aspirations or work so hard on the one they have. Or perhaps they need to have their Sim on a shorter life span where they can't complete an aspiration so easily.
I've looked over what they have for the Spa Day refresh and I think that on long life (which I like to play), it's very similar to the other aspirations in how much time/energy it will take to complete it. It's set up differently, which doesn't bother me at all. If people prefer this type, I'm fine with it as long as the aspirations don't lose work when you change aspiration and that it's completable similar to the others.
I kind of feel like these aspirations are too dang short
and could have really just been one aspiration all together
I don't like tutorial style aspirations either
cause like whats the point tho
99% of time its just go here go there talk to someone gain skill point
but also i wouldn't say I'm mega into aspirations in general after ts2
I feel like the lack of aspiration failure and fears and memories just makes it a bit meh overall for me
aaaaand also the fact that in ts4 achievements are more interesting to me
but they haven't really updated those for a while and they all buggy bugged
I'd rather they make aspirations more like those with some fun goals stuff
like can't we have something more.... spicy... and interesting...
like
''have 100 babies''
''get abducted''
''witness 10 family members die''
''complete 10 collections''
or whatever.
they could even use some popular sims challenges for inspo internet is full of them
like okay i wouldn't exactly think these are spa day goals so its not like i was expecting anything but still p_p

Packs should come with 2 or 3 aspirations short walkthrough ones to learn the pack, medium ones to earn rewards and a lifetime length one.
I love being sble to swap aspirations out at any time and not losing progress if I return to them (just as you sometimes do in real life) and i hope future games allow this.
