At the very end of the Create a Sim process, you select a Lifetime Wish for your new Sim. This wish is the Sim’s main goal in life—it is the dream that ultimately defines them. While you do not necessarily have to play the game strictly to satisfy these wishes, they do give you some structure.
Plus, fulfilling a Lifetime Wish rewards your Sim with Lifetime Happiness points—a lot of them. Lifetime Happiness points are a currency that your Sim banks when you help them satisfy smaller wishes or maintain high spirits.
While you can amass a lot of Lifetime Happiness points by fulfilling the day-to-day wishes and making sure your Sim is consistently happy, there is no bigger payout than the Lifetime Wish.
