hello! my first ever tutorial for the sims 4. :) if you’re like me and have been scouring the depths of the internet looking for some sort of guidance in trying to create a custom aspiration category for the sims 4 then here it is. i decided to write this up as i couldn’t find any comprehensive tutorials out there. hopefully this helps.
before you begin:
what’s the difference between an aspiration category & an aspiration track?
aspiration categories house aspiration tracks. for instance the aspiration category Knowledge houses 4 different aspiration tracks (Renaissance Sim, Archaeology Scholar, Computer Whiz, Nerd Brain, Spellcraft & Sorcery). creating a custom category is basically creating an entirely new house that you can then hold your very own custom aspiration track.
i won’t be showing you how to create a custom aspiration track in this tutorial, but will be in the near future! now let’s continue on...
set up:
install mod constructor - make sure you have mod constructor installed on your pc, and follow any directions provided by zerbu
starting off:
open up mod constructor 4 on your pc by going into the folder you’ve installed it in, and double clicking on constructor. as you can see i’ve installed it in my documents>mod constructor 4 folder.
when mod constructor opens up (2a) click on the add element button. (2b) the window New Element will pop up. from here click on 2: Intermediate. (2c) next click on Aspiration Category. (2d) and finally click the create element button to begin making your custom aspiration category.
note: you can definitely rename the element name ‘Aspiration Category’ to whatever your heart desires before clicking the create element button.
to name your custom aspiration category simply change the text ‘Aspiration Category’ to whatever name you want. click on the llama icon to change the custom aspiration category icon that will show up next to your aspiration name.
this is the Select Image window that will pop up when you click on the llama icon. on the left hand side are the different folders with the corresponding icons in them. as you can see i’ve clicked on the ‘BG Headlines’ folder and have selected the banana peel icon. click the select image button after choosing your icon and close out of the window.
congrats you’ve now just completed your custom aspiration category! i’ll be back with another tutorial on how to create a custom aspiration track to tie it all together.
I'm working on a custom career in the mod constructor that I'd like to require Vampire Lore as a promotion task, however I can't seem to get the level I want for the different career tiers. It just seems stuck at level 4 for all of them. I was wondering what game reference I need to find/edit to get that right. I tried Neia’s mod, but I like the option of having promotion rewards and raises, which hers doesn’t have.
if there is anyone familiar with coding and stuff, can some please fuckin help me? i get this every time i attempt to open up the royalty mod with zerbu’s mod constructor (where it was made). this has completely stopped me dead in my tracks with updates and I need it to be fixed fuckin ASAP.
Guys, I made my own damn custom trait and buff!! And it worked! Well, it was for my royal vampire save but still. I did it!! 😂😂😂🤭🤭 Mod Constructor is boss and I like it. I’m never updating my game again because baby…

This will be a very short tutorial, and it assumes there is knowledge on how to use S4S. A tutorial for S4S 101 is still in the works (So, computer Kazuya is finally healed and is recovering from his long slumber, and soon we will be rocking more tutorials. It has been a year already since last tutorial).

I am making my first aspiration and I’ve tested everything else (i think?) but this one line about harvesting 50 plants does not work. As you can see at the bottom, the count works, but the words don’t show up. I’ve fiddled with it a few ways and nothing. This is an Agriculturalist aspiration for prehistoric sims and I just gotta have a “harvest ___ plants” option somewhere! The only other option i could find was just to harvest one plant, and that’s just not very useful -__-
