9/13/20:
-Finally updated the aspiration after 3 years, or rather, I remade it.

I've remade the Grow Up aspiration from The Sims 2. The original aspiration had 6 levels, but due to limitations the first level was cut and the last became the reward trait. When creating each level I pulled from the name and the original aspiration's wants. The final product was an aspiration that had each level function like a mini-version of the other child aspirations.
The aspiration does give some whims. They are basic things relating to itself, such as leveling up skills or playing with toys.
Bothersome Brat:
*Achieve Level 5 Motor Skill
*Perform 10 Mean or Mischievous Interactions
*Make It Across the Monkey Bars 3 Times
Typical Tyke:
*Achieve Level 5 Social Skill
*Meet 5 New Sims
*Make a Friend
Gifted Kid:
*Achieve Level 5 Creativity Skill
*Play with 3 Toys
*Use Activity Table or Draw on A Placemat (5 times)
Wonder Boy/Girl:
*Achieve Level 5 Metal Skill
*Finish Reading 3 Books
*Finish Homework 3 Times
Child Prodigy Trait:
This trait will give boosts in every skill and career except the Criminal career and Mischief skill. This trait will actually make the Sim do worse with Mischief and the Criminal career. If they're still in Grade School, they will get a large boost. High School also will get a nice boost. Finishing off the child skills shouldn't be too hard, either.
This trait triggers 4 buffs, Fond Memory, Fun Childhood, Happy Memory, and Remembering Youth. They only appear if the Sim is a teen or older and all grant +1 emotions, except the last.
The Fond Memory is a Happy buff will give a small boost in Logic, Fitness, Charisma, and all creative skills. The Fun Childhood buff is a Playful buff, but it doesn't give any special boosts. The Remembering Youth buff only appears for Elders, this buff gives +2 Happy, appears a bit more often, and gives a decent boost in Knitting, Gardening, Baking, and Cooking. The Happy Memory buff is actually a base game buff, but I thought it'd be a good addition to even things out a bit.
1/8/2017:
*Added a buff to the Grew Up Well trait. (more info below)
*Added a few more whims to the Aspiration's whim list.
1/10/2017:
*The Fond Memory buff is a bit more common.
1/11/2017:
*The Grew Up Well trait now effects City Living careers.
1/12/2017:
*Made it a little easier to get through the Monkey Bars objective for Bothersome Brats.
1/25/2017:
*The "Fond Memory" buff no-longer appears for Child sims. (Why would they be remembering their childhood if it hasn't ended yet?)
1/29/2017:
*Added a new buff; Fun Childhood.
*Re-balanced the reward trait's skill and career boosts.
*Changed the Play On The Monkey bars objective name, points given, and description.
1/29/2017 (2):
*Both buffs now last 1 Sim hour. (I decided 30 real seconds was too short)
The Grow Up aspiration from The Sims 2 is back! Thanks to Zerbu's awesome Mod Constructor I have recreated the Grow Up aspiration.
The original aspiration had 6 levels, but since I can't do that I cut the last and first level. When creating each level I pulled from the name and the original aspiration's wants. In the end, each level sorta become a mini-version of the other child aspirations.
The aspiration will give your child whims; though none of them are new whims. Basic things, like Read Something, Level up a skill, Play with Toys, etc.
Bothersome Brat:
*Achieve Level 5 in Motor
*Be Mean 5 Times
*Play on the Monkey Bars 5 Times
Typical Tyke:
*Achieve Level 5 in Social
*Make a Friend
*Do Homework (2 times)
Gifted Kid:
*Achieve Level 5 in Creativity
*Play with Toys (5 times)
*Use Activity Table or Draw on A Placemat (5 times)
Wonder Boy/Girl:
*Achieve Level 5 in Metal
*Read a Book
*Be Read to by an Adult
Grew Up Well Trait:
With this trait Sims get boosts in every career. Except Criminal, if you grew up so well, why turn to a life of crime? These sims actually do a poorer job in the career than other sims.
They also will get boosts all skills. Except Mischief, they do a little worst in it, just a little.
If they're still in Grade School, be prepared for some big grade improvements! And High School won't be too hard for them either. Also, Child Skills are a piece of cake now.
This trait also triggers 2 buffs, Fond Memory and Fun Childhood. Both only appear if the Sim is a teen or older. The Fond Memory buff will give a boost in every skill (except Mischief) and is a Happy buff. The Fun Childhood buff is a Playful buff, but it doesn't give any special boosts. Both only appear for 1 in-game hour.
Conflicts:
Since this is not an override, there shouldn't be conflicting with any mods.
