Okay, I misunderstood what you meant by that. It would be hard to be that strict about it, anyway, but it's an interesting idea. I feel the same about the aspirations and wants, but I don't mind going against them if I feel that the character would. I mean, there has to be a reason for all the Maxis examples of married romance sims, right? (Also, my Ripp has a secondary aspiration of family, so his conflict there is still rooted in game mechanics, which I like). I love it when romance sims will roll a want to marry someone (which does happen, but rarely) and have the fear of it as well.

It's always interesting to see how the same scenario can develop in different ways with those Maxis neighbourhoods.
